What Engines Does the 2020 Lexus UX Have?

There is always a battle for cars to be more powerful and more efficient. Often times to get more of one, you have to sacrifice the other. It is an unfair trade-off when both are so important, but it’s how things work. At least, that used to be how cars and engines were constructed.

Companies have gotten better at maximizing both of these competing figures. Many cars can now strike a beautiful balance between both sides to increase the overall feel of a car. The 2020 Lexus UX does just that with an intelligently designed engine. Let’s take a look at what makes this vehicle so special.

2020 Lexus UX Engine Features

The obvious place to start is to look at the standard engine for the 2020 Lexus UX and see what it offers. It features a base 2.0L inline-4 engine that is certified as an ultra-low emissions vehicle. This engine is able to generate 169 horsepower and 151 lb-ft of torque, an impressive feat for a vehicle of its size. This gives the UX an EPA-estimated 29 city and 37 highway mpg rating. The engine also works with a ten-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive system.

While that engine is nice, you might find yourself in need of something more powerful. The higher trim levels for the UX feature an engine that is uniquely tooled for performance. It is still a 2.0L inline-4 engine, but it packs a bit more punch to it. It generates 181 horsepower which is a nice increase. This engine is also estimated to have a 41 city and 38 highway mpg thanks to its hybrid drive system.
