Lexus UX Overview

The 2019 UX is Lexus' first entry in the subcompact crossover segment in the Philippine market. It is the smallest SUV in the current lineup from the Japanese automaker, with bold, striking design and performance to accommodate the demands of the urban lifestyle. Upfront is a large 'Spindle Grille' that occupies two-thirds of the fascia. This is complemented by a set of lighting-shaped headlamps, as well as vertical air vents on the bumper. However, these aren't the major highlights of its physical aspect. Rather, Lexus boasts about the seamless continuity of the exterior and interior design that's observable on the hood's creases, which Lexus claims to optically extend pass through the windshield and into the interior. The interior, on the other hand, follows the Takumi craftsmanship for superior quality. The UX is also the first Lexus to incorporate a trim grain finish inspired by the grain on the 'washi' Japanese paper. There are eight cabin colors to choose from for that added touch of personalization. Under the hood is Lexus' new 2.0-liter gasoline engine with 168-hp and 205-Nm-torque output. It is coupled to a Direct-Shift Continuous Variable Transmission (CVT) that transmits power to the front axles. The performance output is supported by the vehicle's aerodynamically-structured body elements such as the Aero Stabilizing Blade Lights, wheel arch moldings, and World First concept aerodynamic wheels.
