The Toyota fifth-generation hybrid system combines a naturally aspirated 2.0-liter Atkinson-cycle four-cylinder with dual motor-generators through a planetary CVT, returning an impressive 43 mpg combined on FWD models. Both front- and all-wheel drive are available at every trim level.2025-2026 Lexus UXh F-Sport in Ultrasonic Blue Mica 2.0LexusWhat's New for 2026F SPORT Handling trim gains a standard power liftgate with kick sensor, and Ultra White (below) joins the color palette for the Base and Premium trims. The Premium and F Sport trims now gain the bigger 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster, but the base trim still makes do with the smaller 7-inch display.

Lexus's spindle grille graduates its block-mesh elements outward from the central emblem, flanked by arrowhead-pattern LED daytime running lights above the main lamps. The Aero Stabilizing Blade Lights sequence features 120 LEDs across the liftgate, narrowing toward the center, and also reduces rear aerodynamic turbulence. All grades wear standard 18-inch run-flat tires.2025-2026 Lexus UX F-Sport in Ultrasonic Blue Mica 2.0LexusView the 3 images of this gallery on the original articleInteriorA low instrument panel and slim A-pillars noticeably open the forward sightline over taller rivals.

At 43 mpg combined, it undercuts the fuel expense of every comparably priced luxury subcompact on sale, a gap that accumulates over the ownership period in a way that the sticker price difference with some rivals does not fully reflect. The limitations remain fixed, and worth stating plainly that the cargo capacity at 17.1 cubic feet is the lowest in class, combined with the tight rear seat space. Premium is the right trim for most buyers, covering the everyday use add-ons.2025-2026 Lexus UXh F-SportLexusCompetitorsBMW X1Mercedes-Benz GLAVolvo XC40Audi Q3Shop the Car MarketplaceThis story was originally published by Autoblog on May 29, 2026, where it first appeared in the Cars section.
