Introduced at the March 2018 Geneva Motor Show, the UX (standing for 'Urban Explorer') went on sale in December 2018 for the 2019 model year as Lexus's entry-level crossover, built on the same GA-C platform as the Toyota Corolla. It slots beneath the NX in both size and price.
The UX is offered in three powertrain variants for international markets: the UX 200 (2.0L naturally aspirated four-cylinder, front-wheel drive), the UX 250h (2.0L hybrid, standard AWD), and the battery-electric UX 300e. The US market focuses on the UX 200 and UX 250h.
