Lexus UX (ZA10)

Compact Crossover

Product Gallery

Product Overview

Lexus UX is a compact crossover in production from 2019. It is powered by small inline-4 engines in petrol or hybrid form or by small electric motor aided by a battery capacity of 54kWh.

Essentially a suited-up Toyota Corolla Cross, the UX nonetheless has a level of amenities that the econ box does not compare. Still, the UX is just a slightly taller hatchback masquerading as "SUV".

A plus is the small 10.4m (34.1ft) turning circle.

External Reviews

Reviewer score 54% (normalized by Neofiliac)

Reviewers from autocar have found:

Only the petrol-hybrid model will be sold in the UK for the time being. In typical Lexus fashion the UX’s cabin is a festival of creases and folds. It all seems to be built with the integrity and solidity we have come to expect of the marque. The UX combines that precise steering with good body control and resilient grip.

Pros

Stylish design
Decent infotainment system

Cons

Rattle and squeak
Not the most fun to drive

autoexpress^[2]

Reviewer score 61% (normalized by Neofiliac)

Reviewers from autoexpress have found:

The UX goes head-to-head with the likes of the Mercedes GLA, BMW X1, Audi Q3 and Volvo XC40. With a coupe-like profile and sporty driving characteristics, it's closest rival is arguably the BMW X2. There are three grades (aka trim levels) to choose from: UX, F Sport and Takumi. Prices start from around £30,000, but rise to £53,000 for the flagship battery-powered model.

Pros

Powerful petrol engine
Good fuel economy
Decent standard equipment

Cons

Fiddly infotainment system
Poor boot space

Reviewers from carmagazine have found:

All but the entry-level NX 300h S feature a new E-Four four-wheel drive system as standard. Total system output is 195bhp, with enough instant torque – 199lb ft from the front electric motor alone. The origami intricacy of the exterior is mirrored on the inside by the multi-layer dashboard. Material quality is excellent throughout, and neat options include a Mark Levinson hifi and a wireless charging pad for smartphones.

Pros

Gorgeous interior
Decent infotainment system

Cons

Lacklustre rear-seat tech
Lack of space in the boot

Reviewer score 52% (normalized by Neofiliac)

Reviewers from carwow have found:

The Lexus UX is an eye-catching alternative to posh small SUVs such as the BMW X1, Jaguar E-Pace, Audi Q2 and the Volvo XC40. It has an arresting front grille, sharp creases all across its exterior and a rear light that stretches right across width of the boot lid. You couldn't describe the dashboard as minimalist – there are loads of buttons across the dash and steering wheel – but everything feels lovely and well made.

Pros

Stunning looks
Decent infotainment system

Cons

Fiddly to use
Lack of space in the back

cnet^[5]

Reviewer score 69% (normalized by Neofiliac)

Reviewers from cnet have found:

The 2019 Lexus ES offers one of the most comfortable cabins in the business. With the hybrid battery sitting underneath the back seat, the ES 300h offers the same 16.7 cubic feet of trunk space as its ES 350 kin. As great as the ES is, its poor infotainment interface alone could be a deal-breaker.

Pros

Sleek styling
Comfortable to drive
Excellent fuel economy

Cons

Poor infotainment
Lack of standard tech

pcmag^[6]

Reviewer score 56% (normalized by Neofiliac)

Reviewers from pcmag have found:

The 2020 UX 250h is arguably the best implementation of Lexus' angular SUV design language. Its wedge-like shape makes the most of its sharp lines and functions well in a smaller proportion. Legroom is sparse in the second row and the hybrid's battery pack that raises the rear hatch floor only offers 17.1 cubic feet of cargo space.

Pros

Excellent fuel economy
Stylish design
Comfortable ride

Cons

Lack of cargo space
Lackluster fuel economy
