The trunk offers a standard capacity of 484 liters. Below are the detailed specifications of the Lexus UX: Dimensions: Length × Width × Height: 4495/1840/1520 (mm), with a wheelbase of 2640mm. Powertrain: The UX200 F SPORT is equipped with a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine achieving a thermal efficiency of 41%, delivering a maximum power of 170 horsepower, paired with a CVT transmission. Other UX260h models feature a hybrid system combining a 2.0L naturally aspirated gasoline engine, an electric motor, and a battery pack, producing a total output of 178 horsepower. Certain variants also incorporate a drive motor to enable all-wheel-drive functionality.
I've been driving the Lexus UX for a while now, and the interior space is indeed not very large, which is typical for a compact SUV. The front legroom is sufficiently spacious—with my height of 1.8 meters, there's still a fist's worth of headroom, making driving quite comfortable. The rear seats, however, are a bit cramped. When I had a friend try sitting in the back, their knees were only about a fist's distance from the front seatback. It's fine for two people, but three would feel squeezed, and the headroom is even lower, making it easy for taller individuals to bump their heads. The trunk capacity is around 320 liters, which is enough for daily shopping with a few bags, but fitting larger suitcases requires some effort in stacking. It might not be sufficient for family trips. While the space isn't outstanding, it's more than adequate for urban commuting. The compact design makes parking easy, striking a good balance between the small body and practicality, making it ideal for singles or young couples.
Driving the UX around the city daily, the key space experience lies in practicality. The front driver's seat offers a wide adjustment range, making long drives comfortable for the legs; the rear seats are okay for short commutes with colleagues, but legs can't stretch out after more than an hour, and the foot space is narrow. The trunk can fit a medium backpack and sports equipment with some room to spare, but a stroller needs to be folded before loading, showing some cargo limitations. Compared to luxury cars in the same price range, the space isn't as spacious as the Mercedes-Benz GLA, but the interior quality is a plus. Lexus sacrifices some space for agile handling, which commuters will appreciate, but family users might find it too small.
