A few short months after being presented at the New York International Auto Show, the Lexus with a tongue-twisting name, the UX, is ready to meet its future owners in the U.S. On Wednesday the Japanese automakers announced the pricing for the smallest crossover in their range.
The UX can already be ordered but will arrive in dealerships this December. The first version to be made available is the UX 200, priced at $32,000. From January, the UX 250h will also be on the showrooms’ floors, selling for $34,000.
The UX is the first car in the Lexus lineup to be built on the new Global Architecture Compact (GA-C) platform. The 200 variant adds to that platform a front-wheel-drive configuration, a new 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, and a 10-speed Direct Shift transmission.
The tad more expensive 250h comes as an all-wheel-drive and employs a hybrid system comprised of the same engine on the entry level SUV and two electric motors.
Both the regular and hybrid versions of the car can drive in a number of three configurations that can be selected through the Lexus Drive Mode Select: normal, eco, and sport.
For both cars, Lexus will be offering the F Sport package which builds on the base trim by adding suspension tuning with revised springs and stabilizer bars, 18-inch, five twin-spoke aluminum alloy wheels and several visual upgrades.
“The Lexus UX is designed for the modern urban explorer seeking a fresh, contemporary and dynamic take on luxury driving,” said in a statement 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.”
