New 2022 Lexus UX - Interior & Exterior features Color and Spec
28The 2022 Lexus UX is perfect for folks who want a small hatchback marketed as a crossover with premium features at a premium price. Unfortunately, that audience isn't very big, especially when many rivals have higher seating positions, larger cargo areas, and superior tow ratings. While the UX is more affordable than most luxury alternatives, it's less practical and a lot less powerful. Its proletariat powertrains betray Lexus's cachet with their leisurely acceleration and coarse engine sounds. The hybrid UX250h at least brings all-wheel drive and better fuel economy, but the front-drive-only UX200 actually proves thriftier at highway speeds. Thanks to their small proportions and low center of gravity, both variants are entertaining to drive. Although the 2022 UX has a nicely appointed cabin and comes packed with standard equipment, its compromises keep it from being a crowd-pleaser.
What's New for 2022?
For 2022, the UX200 and UX250h offer more exterior and interior color combinations. Most notably, the subcompact ute's plastic overfenders can now be color-matched to the rest of the body, resulting in a more upscale look. Likewise, the paint palette grows with the addition of Cloudburst Gray and Grecian Water. The latter is compatible with the Black, Birch, and Birch- with-Lapis interior colors.
