Lexus unveils first image of new UX crossover

Visitors to Lexus' stand at the Geneva Motor Show will be treated to that most rare of sights – a new compact crossover. The new UX will make its public debut at the show, and will rival the BMW X2, Audi Q2 and Volvo XC40 when it goes on sale later in the year.

The premium crossover section of the market is quickly becoming as crowded as its non-premium sister, so the UX does its best to stand out by applying Lexus' trademark styling. That means a gaping hexagonal 'spindle' grille, sharp-edged LED headlights and various slashes and creases across the bodywork.
