Overview

The 2020 Lexus UX 200 is a proud member of the subcompact SUV segment, locking horns with cars like the Volvo XC40, the Mercedes-Benz GLA class, and the BMW X1. Although these cars compare on similar prices, the Lexus is down on power and bangs only the Toyota's reliability. Spread across single trim, the UX 200 F Sport starts off at a base price of MSRP $34,300. Its 2.0L Inline-4 engine and continuously variable transmission give the SUV 169 horsepower and 151 lb-ft of torque. With that, it manages a 0-60 of 9 seconds and boasts a towing capacity of 3307 pounds. Moving to fuel economy, the UX 200 manages to get a combined EPA rating of 33 MPG, a number that is great for the class and highly improves the UX 200 F Sport's practicality. It also has a ground clearance of 5.9 inches. 

Buying Advice

Since the top-tier Luxury trim is kinda expensive when compared to the base trim, the base trim seems to be a pretty valuable choice here. Therefore, opting for the base trim will benefit you owing to its comfort and features. The top-tier luxury trim adds only driver seat memory functions and a hands free liftgate which is not worth spending $5000.
