Four years after its launch, the Lexus UX is maintaining a decent commercial level… without worrying the three usual German steamrollers who eye the niche of upscale compact SUVs (Audi Q3, BMW X1, Mercedes GLA). Let’s say that rather than by its sales, the Japanese stands out more from the lot by its very personal style and its hybrid engine that has become a trademark of the house (and of Toyota, of course, the parent company)!
The car is however successful, and even advances serious qualities in terms of general approval and mechanical efficiency. The Lexus UX is therefore content with this restyling (which is not really one) of a rejuvenation limited to what deserved to be reviewed: a new media interface, largely modernized, minor improvements at the level of the structural rigidity and… almost imperceptible exterior retouching. The photos of our test in the streets of Berlin, as a reminder of an unknown outsider.
