The smallest Lexus on sale today might be slight in stature, but is big on luxury features.
The trend of luxury carmakers releasing one of those crossover things is not a new one. Audi has one in the form of the Q2, BMW the X2, Mercedes-Benz the GLA and the Range Rover Evoque.
And now, Lexus has decided to jump into that incredibly crowded space with the UX.
The last small car Lexus made was the CT and that was based offa Toyota Prius. This one, if you’re being particularly uncharitable and cynical, is a tarted-up Toyota C-HR, and the pair share an identical wheelbase of 2,640mm. Thankfully, even if the UX shares its underpinnings with a car at least 30 percent cheaper, it certainly doesn’t feel like it, and more importantly, the cars look completely distinct. Where the C-HR is stubby, the UX is far more stretched out, possessing more pleasing proportions. It also has a very of-the-moment light bar bisecting the rear, so there’s that.
