The UX is here!!!

Basically its a compact crossover slotting below the Lexus NX and therefore comparing with the likes of the BMW X1, Audi Q2/3 and Merc GLA class.

Official release is September 29th - keep your eyes peeled!

I can almost hear the British motoring press sharpening their knives even now...

Lexus have released this picture of the interior.

Few things Ive noticed:

1. Seats look like the spider seat concept which was released about a week ago
2. The car is missing conventional rear view mirrors and instead, has cameras which feed into a screen on each side of the dashboard
3. The multimedia system in the dashboard is using holograms!!!
4. The glass box in the middle will show climate, infotainment etc as holograms as well and the remote touch seems to be updated once more

The interesting thing is that the LS concept also used holograms. Its looking extremely likely that Lexus will just skip updating their current system and move straight onto holograms with their new infotainment system

Is it not basically a Toyota C -HR and surely a production car cannot have such  an interior ?

Even Dan Dare could not have driven that distracting interior !  :)

Well its a concept but generally the exterior looks production ready - it wont need much change for the outside. The interior is more complex and will  be toned down quite a bit but its nice to see something a bit different.

As for whether its a C-HR, its probably running on the same platform but like the RAV-4 and the NX, they will drive differently and of course, Lexus quality is much much better.

Remember the LF-CC concept interior? Looks very similar to the IS interior today.
