In the realm of dimensions, the Lexus UX stretches a bit longer at 4495mm in comparison to the Formentor at 4446mm. However, in terms of agility and space efficiency, the Formentor's wheelbase of 2679mm exceeds the UX's 2640mm. When it comes to width, they are practically identical, though the UX includes slightly wider mirrors. The UX is also slightly taller, standing at 1540mm over the Formentor's 1520mm. Interestingly, the Formentor boasts a tighter turning circle, except for the UX 300e, which manages an impressive 10.4m. Ground clearance varies within the UX models, with different engines offering between 140mm to 160mm. Conclusion: The Lexus UX, with its slightly larger size, provides marginally more presence, while the Formentor edges ahead with its longer wheelbase and more favorable turning radius.
Cargo capacity is a crucial aspect for SUV enthusiasts, and the Formentor's boot space oscillates between 345 to 450 liters depending on the engine, notably larger than the UX's 283 to 367 liters. With the back seats folded, the Formentor dominates with a colossal 1505 liters, while the UX does not provide data for comparison in this area. Seating capacity in the Formentor can accommodate 5 passengers, whereas the UX is designed for 4. Both vehicles provide Isofix as a standard feature. Conclusion: The Formentor leads in terms of cargo space and seating capacity, promising more practicality for passengers and cargo alike.
Peering under the hood reveals a stark contrast in gear options; while the Formentor ranges from 6 to 7 gears, the UX operates with a singular gearing setup. The Formentor's engine lineup sees a 4 to 5 cylinder range, where the Lexus UX remains fixed at 4. Maximum speed capability of the Formentor's engines spans from 203 to 250km/h, overtaking the UX's range of 160 to 190km/h. Economic performance is where the UX excels, with its engines outputting from 126 to 150kW, more modest but consistent compared to the Formentor's wide-ranging 110 to 287kW. The Formentor also boasts a higher torque across its engine range. Despite this, the UX has a uniform cubic capacity of 1987ccm, which does not necessarily indicate better performance but asserts a consistency unmet by the Formentor. Lastly, acceleration from 0-100km/h shows the Formentor's sportier ambitions with times between 4.2s to 9.3s against the UX's 7.5s to 9.2s. Conclusion: The Formentor offers a more diverse and potentially thrilling performance while the UX provides a more predictable driving experience.
Tank sizes between the two model ranges show some overlap, with the Formentor from 40 to 55 liters and the UX from 43 to 47 liters. CO2 emissions place the Formentor between 27.0 to 230.0g/km, showing a significant range that includes a highly efficient option, while the UX keeps emissions between 120.0 to 135.0g/km. Tyre sizes vary with the Formentor offering a wider option. Noise levels at a minimum are lower for the UX, suggesting a quieter ride. Also, the UX provides detailed NEDC consumption figures for combined and city driving, offering insights into its efficiency. Conclusion: The Formentor offers a broader spectrum regarding fuel capacity and emissions, while the UX presents a consistent and efficient package.
The Formentor's empty weight (EU) starts from a lighter 1422kg and caps at 1704kg, while the UX starts slightly heavier and reaches up to 1875kg. The permissible total weight indicates that the UX can handle a heavier load. When it comes to towing, the Formentor wins by a significant margin, able to tow braked trailers between 1500 to 2000kg, compared to the UX's 750kg limit. Both can tow 750kg with unbraked trailers. Maximum load capacities for the roof and towbar favor the Formentor slightly. Conclusion: The Formentor is more adept for towing, while the UX is better suited for carrying weight within the vehicle itself.
For the offroad enthusiast, the UX provides specific angles of approach and ramp and departure angles which are favorable for light offroading experiences. The Formentor, while lacking specific data here, is nevertheless designed with a reasonable offroading profile typical of modern SUVs. Conclusion: The UX offers explicit offroad credentials whereas the Formentor's capabilities in this area are more generalist.
In the electrified mobility sector, the UX offers an impressive electric range of 314 to 449km, dwarfing the Formentor's 54 to 59km. Both full and usable battery capacities are greater in the UX, implying longer distances between charges. Battery weight does tip in the Formentor's favor but is inconsequential compared to the benefits of larger battery capacities and longer range. Conclusion: The UX emerges as the clear leader in EV capabilities with a significantly larger electric range and battery capacity.
