i think it's going to be way smaller than nx.

ok maybe they're in this thread somewhere, but i finally found some specs...
https://www.caranddriver.com/lexus/ux
of note:
with the same wheelbase and platform the ux is a ch-r with lipstick and longer front (and probably rear) overhangs.
ux length: 177
chr length: 171.2
ch-r legroom:
front: 43.5 (huge)
rear: 31.7 (tiny)
this pic though makes it (ux) not look too bad as far as room

of note:
It measures 177.0 inches long and has a 103.9-inch wheelbase—0.8 inch and 5.3 inches tighter than the measurements of the NX...
Unlike the NX, which has underpinnings related to the Toyota RAV4’s, the UX rides on a version of the Toyota New Global Architecture (TNGA) platform. It has the same wheelbase as the Toyota C-HR, and it uses the same strut front and multilink rear suspension setups as that model (and numerous other Toyota products that employ this architecture).

I wonder how roomy the rear seat of the UX (on the new TNGA-C platform) is compared to the older NX (sharing the New MC platform with the RAV4 and Corolla), especially in width (hip and shoulder room). The RAV4 and NX rear seats are narrow -- narrower than other compact crossovers.

That white leather should be in all Lexus sedans.
Front headrests look like they protrude too far forward. My dad's Santa Fe has the same feature and it is damn uncomfortable, forcing your head down.
The more I see here, the more I like. This should be a landslide seller if it's priced in the high $20's/low $30's.

Hrm, by "female", do you mean "non-enthusiast"? If they are indeed targeting females for some reason, I don't doubt they will succeed. On the other hand, some of my coworkers my age are more interested in crossovers than sedans due to their perception of comfort and cargo space - the key word of course being "perception". Or, "I want something like an SUV, but not a full-blown SUV, because those aren't good for gas mileage and are too tall" ... which is valid. TBH I very much look forward to driving one of these as a loaner, as I could see it being a lot more fun than the NX. While the NX is comfortable, relatively, it's not good enough and is not very agile. I'd hope the UX is at least more "darty" than the NX. While I would like to try this car out, I don't see myself owning one.

Just like the CT was a pretty poor hatchback (super tiny, not very hatch'y) this UX will be a super tiny crossover. With fairly lackluster powertrains, also plaguing the CT, NX is at least decently competitive, the UX likely won't surpass NX in sales, but still provide some sort of entrance into the brand below NX, which Lexus has lacked since CT was left to whither on the vine.

Also it has eyelashes.
