Everything you need to know about the 2019 Lexus UX

With the 2019 Lexus UX, Lexus is entering the more and more crowded entry-level luxury SUV segment. The new UX will slot beneath the NX in the Lexus lineup and will be the most affordable Lexus utility vehicle you can buy, but that doesn’t mean it skimps on features and refinement.

“The Lexus UX is designed for the modern urban explorer seeking a fresh, contemporary and dynamic take on luxury driving,” said Chika Kako, executive vice president of Lexus International and chief engineer of the UX. “We designed the UX to appeal to young buyers who seek not only what is new and exciting, but what is also relevant to their lifestyles.”

Here is everything you need to know about the 2019 Lexus UX.

It has a lot of standard safety technology

The 2019 Lexus UX will pack more safety and driver assistance technologies than any other competitor, and it will do so at no extra charge to the buyer. Indeed, every new 2019 UX gets standard Lexus Safety System+ which includes:

• All-Speed Dynamic Radar Cruise Control;
• Pre-Collision System (PCS) with Pedestrian Detection;
• Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist;
• Lane Tracing Assist (LTA);
• Automatic High Beam (AHB).

All of that is offered at no extra charge, and ensures that you and your family are always safe in the 2019 Lexus UX.

It has two very efficient engines

The 2019 Lexus UX will be powered out of the gate by a 168-horsepower 2.0-liter engine delivering 168 horsepower. This engine will send its power to the front wheels through and advanced automatic gear box, and a Drive Mode Select system will give you the ability to adjust how the UX behaves on the road, from sportier to more efficient.

The next engine in line is the hybrid found in the UX 250h. This is the only hybrid engine found in the segment, and the Atkinson-Cycle four-cylinder paired with an electric motor should provide a ton of power while also being more fuel-efficient than any other compact luxury SUV available today.
