If you’re shopping for a luxury compact crossover, take a look at the 2020 Lexus UX 200 – it’s a newer model in the Lexus lineup that was introduced in 2019. Some of the most appealing aspects of this compact vehicle include impressive fuel efficiency, a long list of standard safety and comfort features, and sleek styling.

1. Exterior Features

From the outside, the 2020 Lexus UX 200 is eye-catching and stylish. It shows off a rounded body style with a curved liftgate that houses the cargo area. Every model comes equipped with LED headlights, 18-inch alloy wheels, a smart access system, heated side mirrors, and a keyless ignition. With the Luxury trim level, additional exterior features include auto-dimming side mirrors, a hands-free liftgate, a sunroof, sound-damping front side windows, and automatic wipers.

For a sportier model, choose the F Sport trim that includes 18-inch wheels, LED fog lights, and a sport-tuned suspension. You can further upgrade with triple-beam LED headlights and a windshield wiper de-icer.

2. Inside the Cabin

The cabin of the 2020 UX 200 is quite appealing, featuring soft-touch materials and high-quality tech. The standard UX 200 includes simulated leather upholstery, dual-zone automatic climate control, four USB ports, a six-speaker sound system with a 7-inch touch screen, Bluetooth connectivity, power-adjustable front seats, a Wi-Fi hotspot, and Android Auto and Apple CarPlay smartphone integration. Additional options include driver’s seat memory functions, heated and ventilated front seats, paddle shifters on the steering wheel, sporty front seats, and navigation. An eight-speaker sound system is also available as an upgrade.

3. Power and Performance

Beneath the hood of the 2020 UX 200 is a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that rates at 151 pound-feet of torque and 169 horsepower. It works with a continuously variable transmission that powers the front wheels. If you want all-wheel drive, you’ll have to look at the hybrid version, which is the only UX currently equipped with the AWD system. With the hybrid powertrain, the combined output is 181 horsepower. This model is called the 250h.

If efficiency is a top priority, the UX 200 won’t disappoint. According to EPA estimates, the SUV returns 29 mpg in the city and 37 mpg on the highway – quite impressive for an SUV! The hybrid model is even more efficient, with estimates of 41 mpg in the city and 38 mpg on the highway.

4. Innovative Safety Equipment 

This SUV is also a safe option, boasting a five-star safety rating from the NHTSA and plenty of standard equipment. The suite of features on this IIHS Top Safety Pick + includes forward-collision warning with automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning with lane-keep assist, and a rearview camera. Blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert are available as upgrades.
