How does the 2024 Lexus UX drive?
Our expert take on Lexus UX drivability.
2023 Lexus UX200 models are powered by a 2.0-litre naturally-aspirated four-cylinder petrol engine producing 126kW of power and 205Nm of torque, which now gets fuel-saving idle stop/start technology.
It’s mated exclusively to a continuously-variable transmission (CVT) with drive sent to the front wheels only.
UX250h models also use a 2.0-litre naturally-aspirated four-cylinder petrol engine with either one or two electric motors, and a 216V nickel-metal hydride battery pack. It’s also mated exclusively to a CVT.
The petrol engine in the hybrid powertrain produces 107kW and 188Nm, with the front electric motor producing 80kW and 202Nm. The rear electric motor in E-Four all-wheel drive models produces an additional 5.3kW and 55Nm.
Total system outputs for the hybrid powertrain, regardless of whether it has one or two electric motors, is 135kW.

Should you buy the 2024 Lexus UX
Is this the right car for you? Out experts buy or not guide.
The Lexus UX is a lovely little SUV, with the emphasis on little.
It’s the quietest, most comfortable compact crossover on the market, and has a properly upmarket feel when you get inside.
The sense of luxury in some small SUVs is watered-down compared to their bigger siblings, but the UX feels like the real deal – a full-sized Lexus that’s been hit with a shrink ray.
Points also go to the UX for offering an efficient, refined hybrid powertrain. If you live in the city, it’s hard to argue with the benefits of going hybrid.
It’s just hard to recommend the model we tested, given it costs more than $60,000 before on-road costs. That money will buy you a base model NX, for example, or a mid-range BMW X1 with more space in the rear.
Love the unique brand of luxury for which Lexus is known, but have a small garage? The UX is perfect.
Want the most metal for your money? Best look elsewhere.
