A Stunning Design
Designed based on the 'Urban Explorer' concept, the UX 200 is compact yet responsive and is able to maneuver even in tight spaces thanks to its best-in-class turning radius of 5.2m. The richly expressive model boasts a bold exterior design that uses fluid lines, crisp, prominent sculpted surfaces and a distinctive spindle grille.
It has an aerodynamic profile that is accentuated by its race car inspired Aero Stabilising Blade Lights, which double as an aerodynamic spoiler while providing a distinctive character to the vehicle. In addition, it has large wheels, measuring up to 18-inch in size, that give it a definitive muscular and agile stance.
