3The 2021 Lexus UX subcompact luxury crossover | Interior
The 2021 Lexus UX is an unusual subcompact luxury crossover, but, despite its hatchback-like proportions, it's also an appropriately classy and surprisingly sporty offering. Its diminutive size and lower price tag place it below the Lexus NX as the company's smallest crossover. In fact, the UX is the smallest model in the Lexus showroom. This means limited cargo capacity and passenger space compared with its competitors, but its low center of gravity contributes to impressive athleticism that helps make the UX fun to drive. Unfortunately, its standard four-cylinder engine and available hybrid powertrain both have poky acceleration and produce coarse noises. Still, the 2021 UX has a host of standard features and a handsome interior that make it an interesting, albeit small, alternative to classmates such as the BMW X1 and the Mercedes-Benz GLA-class.
What's New for 2021?
For 2021, Lexus makes several improvements to the regular UX200 and the hybrid UX250h. The latter benefits from a new adjustable rear cargo board that increases its cargo capacity from 17 cubic feet to 22 cubes. All models now come standard with blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert. Fans of Autumn Shimmer and Silver Lining Metallic will be disappointed to hear that both paint colors are no longer available. Lexus also says it has improved the accelerator response on the UX250h.
Interior, Comfort, and Cargo
Inside, Lexus ensures that passengers know this is a luxury vehicle thanks to an attractive layout and posh materials. It also boasts a bunch of standard features that includes dual-zone climate control and power-adjustable front seats. The experience can be elevated with options such as heated and ventilated front seats, a head-up display, and snazzier materials. While the back seat is far from spacious, it's also not as cramped as one might expect. Unfortunately, the cargo area behind those seats is pretty small and it's even smaller on hybrid models. We managed to fit four carry-on suitcases back there on the regular UX, but we could cram an extra three carry-ons in the rear of the BMW X1.
