2019 Lexus UX: A commuter car under a wild skin

November 20, 2018 05:00 AM

"The good news is that the engine takes regular fuel, which is not common in the luxury world. The bad news is that the performance falls on the wrong side of regular, which erodes the rest of the experience. Lexus lists the published zero-to-60-mph time for the UX 200 at 8.9 seconds; for context, that's almost a full second slower than the zero-to-60 time we tested in our 2017 Chrysler Pacifica minivan. The direct competition is also faster: The 2018 BMW X2 makes the same sprint in 6.3 seconds, and in the 2018 Mercedes-Benz GLA250, it's 7.2 seconds.
