The 2019 Lexus UX, an SUV/crossover for well-heeled Urban eXplorers (get it?), Just took the stage at this year's New York International Auto Show.
Solid inclusion
The UX sits on a 103.9-inch wheelbase for a smooth, stable ride and plenty of interior space.
MacPherson struts front and double wishbone rear suspension, and both are specially tuned to combine «urban agility and comfort over worn streets». The electrically assisted steering is also suited to a compact and stiff ride

Power and performance
This new 2.0-litre inline four-cylinder engine delivers 168 horsepower to the front wheels, using different fuel injectors with multiple orifices, a variable load oil pump and variable inlet torque.
Unfortunately, if somewhat predictably, the UX 250h is the only model with all-wheel drive.

Forecasting
The Lexus UX 250h also comes with Predictive Efficient Drive, a system that analyses driving habits along with road and traffic conditions to optimise battery charging and discharging.
Communications and security
And yes, since it's 2018 and the UX is aimed squarely at you urbanite city types, it's drowning in connected technology and security features.
Availability and face
When the UX goes on sale in December, you'll have a new option that still wants a car but doesn't want to buy or lease.
