2022 Lexus UX200

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2022 UX200.

Transmission Automatic (AV-S10)

The 2022 Lexus UX200 is defined mechanically by its AV-S10 automatic transmission, a 4.9-quart 0W-16 API SN oil specification, and EPA fuel-economy ratings of 29 mpg city, 37 highway, and 32 combined. Those figures frame it as an economy-focused vehicle with a light-duty service regimen, with the 0W-16 oil and 32-mpg combined rating standing out as the clearest efficiency cues. In the model’s reliability history, the 2022 model year is a notably quiet entry, posting zero recalls and just one owner complaint. That single complaint is filed under Air Bags, which means researchers should treat 2022 as a low-signal data point rather than evidence of a developing pattern.

Factory maintenance schedule OEM · verified

Normal service, condensed from the factory interval matrix.

Under the factory schedule, replace the engine oil and filter every 10,000 mi; spark plugs at 120,000 mi; coolant every 50,000 mi. The big-interval services (every 50,000 mi for coolant, and the transmission fluid) are the ones owners most often skip — on a lower-mileage example, assume the original fluids are still in it and check them first.

Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

Owner complaints about the 2022 Lexus UX200 dominate in one area — the air bags, 1 of 1 reports (100%), well ahead of the next concern. NHTSA has issued no recalls for this vehicle, so these are owner-reported concerns only. 1 of the reports describe a crash and 0 a fire — a small share of the total, but worth weighing against the air bags pattern above. These are tallies of what owners actually reported to the federal government, not an editorial score — and higher-selling models naturally rack up more reports.
