The industry has always run on competition, but some of its most extraordinary machines weren’t born from boardroom strategy — they were born from personal scores that needed settling.

For the 2019 model year, Lexus introduced its tiniest SUV to the US lineup: the UX. It was closely related to the Toyota Corolla, and arrived to take on small models from competitors such as the BMW X1 and Mercedes-Benz GLA.
