If you often take adventures in your SUV — or if every day is an adventure for you! — the 2022 Lexus UX might be the perfect vehicle to take them in. Let's take a look at what makes the Lexus UX such a worthy SUV to take on your sense of wanderlust. What Is the UX? The 2022 Lexus UX is a luxury crossover SUV that seats up to five passengers in two rows. The UX is one of Lexus's newer models, with its first production year in 2019. The 2022 UX is offered in several levels that increase in both luxuriousness, features, and performance upgrades. The UX lineup begins with the UX 200, and then the UX 200 F Sport, UX 200 Luxury, UX 250h AWD, UX 250h F Sport AWD, and UX 250h Luxury AWD. Keeping this progression of trim levels in mind will help you decide which Lexus UX is the right one for you and your budget. Power Play Each of the UX 200 models comes outfitted with a 2.0-liter in-line four-cylinder engine. This engine outputs 169 horsepower and 151 pound-feet of torque. With this powertrain, the UX reaches up to an estimated 29 mpg in the city and 37 mpg on the highway. The UX 250h models offer more horsepower with their setup. Each features an engine the same size as their gasoline-exclusive sibling but adds the Lexus Hybrid Drive system with an electric motor to increase horsepower output to 181. This hybrid powertrain gets the UX up to an estimated 41 mpg in the city and 38 on the highway. The UX trim level name ends in AWD; it's equipped with Lexus's intuitive all-wheel-drive system. Statement-Making Style The UX has a forward-leaning hatchback-like profile that makes it stands apart from other SUVs. The front fascia features sharply angled premium triple-beam LED headlamps and a bowtie-shaped mesh grille to give it a sportier look. The aerodynamic taillamps are raised on the ends, giving the UX a refreshingly unique rear profile. The UX 200 and 250h F Sport models get black accents and sport features to give them a more athletic appearance. These include black-on-black mesh grilles, unique 18-inch wheels, and extended side bolsters for the front seats. Interior Features Naturally, this Lexus features some of the most luxuriously appointed creature comforts. The UX comes standard with simulated leather seats with power-adjustability for the front row. You have access to several optional features with the base-level UX 200, including heated and ventilated front seats, a heated steering wheel, and a 10.3-inch touch screen that replaces the standard 7-inch version. If you want the best the UX has to offer, opt for one of the Luxury models. These feature many of the optional features the lower trims have access to. The Luxury model features noise-canceling front windows to keep outside noise on the outside.
