All-New Lexus UX200: A Luxury Compact Crossover for Urban Explorers
Introduction
At an event like none before, Al-Futtaim Lexus launched the all-new UX200 in an automated parking lot located in Dubai’s financial district. Lending the event an urban, youthful touch, the brand’s newest crossover was accompanied by beatboxers, dance performances, and rap music befitting a high-end nightclub.
Design and Concept
Designed by Ms. Chika Kako, Executive Vice President of Lexus International and the first female Chief Engineer, the Lexus UX is based on a concept called “Cross-Create”, which creates harmony between a robust body characteristic of a crossover SUV and a strong contrasting glamorous shine. Essentially, it is designed for the urban explorer searching for a dynamic take on luxury driving.
Performance Features
Built from Lexus’ first Global Architecture Compact platform, the UX features a low center of gravity, making it nimble and emphasizing high agility. With a front-wheel-drive configuration, the UX is powered by a 2.0-liter, four-cylinder engine that is mated to a 10-step Direct Shift Continuously Variable Transmission (D-CVT) and offers a Drive Select controller with five unique drive modes.
Market Reception
Mohammed Maktari, Managing Director of Al-Futtaim Lexus, stated: “This newest addition to our line-up is inspired by the vibrant energy of urban environments and is Lexus’ reflection of the ongoing quest to create amazing experiences. This car is designed with the young at heart and aspiring urbanites in mind, who are looking to join the world of Lexus through this unique luxury compact crossover.”
Color Options and Pricing
Available in 13 distinctive colors, the all-new Lexus UX allows buyers to express their individuality with two exclusive colors for the F SPORT version. Three newly-developed exterior colors, Terrane Khaki Mica Metallic, Blazing Carnelian Contrast Layering, and Celestial Blue Glass Flake, further evoke a luxurious and glamorous atmosphere.
The new UX is available across all Al-Futtaim Lexus showrooms in the UAE in three grades:
