Lexus has officially teased the arrival of a new crossover called the UX, which will make its debut at this year’s Geneva Motor Show in March. If the name sounds familiar, that’s because the UX shares the same name with a concept from the 2016 Paris Motor Show.
Unlike the concept that had a pretty outlandish design, the road-going UX looks reserved by comparison. The teaser image gives a look at the car’s rear, which features a wide rear light strip that ends with little “fins” at the edges for dynamic effect.
Barring any additional photos, the rest of the UX will likely be equally bold, including the brand’s trademark spindle grille and aggressive-looking headlights. Based on the filename, what we’re looking at here is likely the UX F Sport model.
Lexus hasn’t revealed where exactly the UX will be positioned within its crossover/SUV line-up, although it will likely go below the NX. The similarly-named concept served as a preview for a compact SUV with a wheelbase of 2,640 mm, which is less than the NX’s 2,660 mm. The concept’s wheelbase however, is closer to that of the Toyota C-HR.
As for powertrains, a hybrid is a definite based on what we see in the image, where a few adjustments show the ‘UX 250h’ badging in the lower right. Other likely variants include the UX 200 and UX 250, if trademarks filled with the United States Patent and Trademark Office are to be believed.Likely contenders for the UX include the Audi Q3, BMW X1 and the Mercedes-Benz GLA.
