The Lexus UX (Japanese: レクサス・UX, Hepburn: Rekusasu UX) is a subcompact luxury crossover SUV from Lexus, a luxury division of Toyota. It was introduced at the March 2018 Geneva Motor Show as the smallest crossover model in Lexus' lineup prior to the introduction of LBX in 2023, it is currently slotted above the subcompact LBX and below the compact NX. It is also the first Lexus model based on the same GA-C platform as the E210 series Toyota Corolla.[11] The "UX" name stands for "Urban Explorer".[5]

According to Lexus, the vehicle has a "bold and stylish design that blends expressive bodywork with a compact size". Lexus espouses the UX's "crossover credentials" via "exceptional body rigidity and a low center of gravity for exceptional handling".[11]

Prior to the 2022 (for the 2023 model year), the UX came equipped with Lexus Safety System+ 2.0 as standard equipment. From 2022 onwards (model years 2023 onwards), the standard equipment includes Lexus Safety System+ 2.5.[citation needed]
