2019 Lexus UX brings style to the compact crossover segment

What it is: The Lexus UX is a brand-new model from luxury car-maker Lexus which went on sale for the first time earlier this year. The UX slots beneath the NX and much further below in size to the RX in the Lexus lineup. When choosing a UX, you are effectively choosing between two engines, a 2.0-liter four-cylinder that generates 169 horsepower (UX 200) or a 2.0-liter hybrid four-cylinder (UX 250h) that generates 181 horsepower. The hybrid engine is an extra $2,000 and bumps your MPG from 29 city to 43 city and from 37 highway to 41 highway. That’s quite a large jump for only $2,000.
