Lexus has trademarked both the UX 250 and UX 250h nameplates in Australia, giving us the first concrete evidence that a new crossover is coming.

As it stands, there are two crossovers that have been rumored for some time — a large three-row model that will slot above the RX, and a smaller sub-NX model that is reportedly based on the CT.

Judging from the engine codes, the subcompact crossover seems more likely — let’s break it down:

- UX 250: Likely a 2.5L four-cylinder engine, perhaps the 178 horsepower 2AR-FE used in multiple Toyota applications.
- UX 250h: The 250h designation is a mystery, as the 2.5L 2AR-FXE hybrid engine is classified as a 300h in the Lexus lineup. The 2.4L 2AZ-FXE engine found in the HS 250h is an option, but seems unlikely. We could be looking at a new hybrid engine with this trademark.

Gebaut wird der Toyota Crossover bei Toyota in der Türkei. Der Hybridantriebsstrang wird in England gefertigt und von dort aus zugeliefert.

Wir werden unser neues Konzeptfahrzeug, den Lexus UX Concept, auf der Pariser Motorshow 2016 enthüllen.

Lexus will use the 2018 Geneva motor show to unveil a production version of the UX SUV, almost 18 months after the concept debuted in Paris.

The company describes the UX Concept as a “powerful reinterpretation of the Lexus design signatures”, but has provided only one shady teaser for the production car.
