Lexus UX

[2o6]

More pics should come in a few days, but this UX crossover is under the NX and replaces the CT in many markets.



I'm convinced that Toyota doesn't know how to photograph it's cars; the NX, RX, LC, and LS are much better looking vehicles in person; their attention to detail and very interesting surface interactions aren't accurately portrayed in Lexus manufacturer photos.

Is it a joint venture with Mazda?  Looks proportionally similar some Mazda CUV.

[Laconian]

Yes, there's a fair bit of Kodo in the fenders.

I don't like plastic around the wheel wells for luxury SUVS/raised wagons.  I know Audi Allroad does it and so does a MB similar raised wagon but it looks cheap to me. I don't mind it on my Crosstrek but that car sort of revels in a jeep wannabe aesthetic.

Need more pictures

Agree about the plastic cladding, just paint it. Looks so much better. See: BMW X3

I don't agree; I think black cladding can make a car look less tall and less visually heavy.

I don't agree; I think black cladding can make a car look less tall and less visually heavy.

But then the grill does the opposite.

Picture looks underexposed and unnatural. Lexus needs to work on its photos (or renders)

[2o6]

It looks like a subdivision surface modifier and an edge split modifier were put on this 3D model in the wrong order.

Power comes from a new 2.0L motor Toyota came out with, as well as a new 2.0L Hybrid Synergy Drive that puts out 180HP. Sounds like it's bigger than the one in the Prius, but not as strong as the one in the Rav4/NX. It's also got a CVT automatic, but it has an actual physical 1st gear to "improve drivability".


The more I look at it, the more I like it.

Not as good as some of the other latest Lexi like the LC.
