Specs & Features: 2020 Lexus UX vs 2020Lexus NX

High-end SUVs have taken the world by storm, and the 2020 Lexus UX and 2020 Lexus NX SUVs are prime examples of why customers are choosing this style for their day-to-day transportation. With the NX being a top safety choice, and the UX’s 5-star overall safety score, both are exceptional selections for keeping your family safe on the road. Both also come standard-packed with modern technology and a big list of available upgrade alternatives.


Top Design Highlights

The 2020 Lexus UX and NX are part of the brand-new age of SUVs that incorporate the comfort of driving a car with the utility of a huge SUV. To say these SUVs are giving you a little bit of everything would be a bit of an understatement. Both versions come outfitted with LED headlights and taillamps, with the availability to upgrade to superior auto-leveling headlamps and foglights. The UX comes standard with 18-inch 5-spoke alloy wheels with dark gray machined surface, while the NX comes standard with 17-inch 10-spoke alloy wheels. Both versions feature an available moonroof.


Engine, Powertrain & Performance

The 2020 Lexus UX 200 comes standard-equipped with a 169hp, 151 lb-ft torque 2.0L In-Line 4cyl. engine that supplies more than adequate power to keep the slender body of the UX moving at passing speeds. The available 2.0L hybrid setup on the UX 250H still produces 181hp and supplies extended highway fuel economy of 38mpg (source: lexus.com). It’s somewhat more powerful sister, the 2020 Lexus NX 300 comes standard-equipped with a 235 horsepower, 258 lb-ft torque 2.0-litre Inline turbocharged 4cyl. for those who call for just a little more power during their commutes.
It also comes readily available in a gas/electric option, the NX 300h with a 194hp, 152 lb-ft torque 2.5L turbocharged In-Line 4-cylinder, it still makes a total 31mpg (from: lexus.com). The UX series utilizes a common 10-speed direct-shift continuously variable transmission, while the NX follows through with their turbo driving experience with the 6-speed sequential shift auto electronically regulated transmission with intelligence and paddle shifters.


Tech Highlights

A modern-day, high-end SUV simply would not be complete without a state-of-the-art centerpiece. The UX provides you 7.0in. color multimedia screen while the Lexus NX comes with a somewhat larger 8.0-inch color multimedia display. Both give you the alternative to update to a Navigation system with a 10.3in. split screen multimedia display. All systems come packed with Amazon Alexa, Apple Carplay, and Android Auto so regardless of your mobile system, you’ll be promptly able to utilize your individual collection of music, address book, and various other features with ease. When it concerns reliable opulence, Lexus holds the crown, and the 2020 Lexus UX and NX are shining examples of how they’ve been so successful at achieving that status. Now, the only question is, “Would you prefer turbos or not?”

I was very disappointed that I was charged for this service as I thought it was the 2nd one that was supposed to be included with the purchase of my car! Apparently, they counted a 30 day fluid check one month after I took delivery as the first one! Very frustrating!

It is always good to have car serviced and the work needed is communicated before it is done. Matt Torres has been my service advisor for 8 years and always does a great job.

They wanted $686.53 to mount and balance 2 tires despite the fact that the $655.55 i paid for premium service included tire balance and rotation. Either way, that price to mount and balance 2 tires is criminal. They also qanted $790 for transmission service on my Lexus GX 460. I was a little turned off by the high price of service last time but now I'm convinced they are not only over charging but also recommending unnecessary services. Hiding this unethical behaviour behind "well those are dealership prices" doesn’t cut it for me. Won't be going there again
