2019 Lexus UX trims

2019 UX

2019 brings the introduction of the Lexus UX. Marketed to fit just beneath the NX in both size and price in the vehicle lineup, the UX adds a new entry-level eco-friendly luxury crossover option for consumers. Outside, the design is Lexus-familiar, sporting the ubiquitous spindle grille, giant front intake inlets, and sharp lines overshadowed by wide fender flares all around. All in all the design is meant to remind buyers of the UX' big brothers, the RX and NX. Powertrain options include a choice between an efficient 2. 4-cylinder engine and a hybrid all-wheel drive system.
