The cargo room is the standout. My only gripe is the touchscreen climate controls, which I knew going in.

2026 Lexus UX review
Lexus UX: a sensible pick with a few compromises. Illustrative review
7.9/10 OffLot expert score
The 2026 Lexus UX is a strong contender in its class. Easy to see out of and park; well-organized infotainment. Third row (where offered) is for kids and price climbs fast with options, so test the trim you'd actually buy. Starting around $38,000, it lines up with most direct rivals.

Replaced an older Lexus with this one. Big step up in cargo room; I'd like a little more power from the base engine.
