Lexus UX

The Lexus UX (レクサス・UX) is a subcompact luxury crossover SUV from Lexus, a luxury division of Toyota. It was introduced at the March 2018 Geneva Motor Show as the smallest crossover model in Lexus' lineup prior to the introduction of LBX in 2023; since 2024, it is currently slotted between the smaller LBX and the larger NX. It is also the first Lexus model based on the same GA-C platform as the E210 series Toyota Corolla.[10] The "UX" name stands for "Urban Explorer".[5]

Prior to the 2022 facelift for the 2023 model year, the UX came equipped with Lexus Safety System+ 2.0 as standard equipment, after which the standard equipment was upgraded to Lexus Safety System+ 2.5.
