How to Carry Bike on 2022 Lexus UX 200

Question:

I just bought a Lexus UX 250 hybrid. I am a bike rider and really need a hitch for my bike rack. I have not been able to find one that that will work with my car. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks.

While there is a way to carry your bike with your 2022 Lexus UX 200, I checked with the hitch manufacturers and there are no hitches for the UX model of Lexus for any model year. So the only option to carry your bike with this vehicle would be with a roof rack and roof-mounted bike rack. While I know that isn't the news you were looking for, it is the only way to carry a bike with this vehicle.

What I recommend is going with something that will still be quality but is more economical than other brands, which is a rack from Inno. I verified this will fit your '22 Lexus UX 200 so long as you have flush-mounted rails running on top of the vehicle:

- Inno Aero Crossbars # INXB115-2

- Inno Through Feet for Aero Crossbars - Flush Side Rails # INXS450

- Custom Fit Kit # INTR163

Then you will need a bike rack, and I recommend using a rack that holds your bike by the frame so you don't have to remove a wheel to carry your bike, the Thule ProRide XT Roof Bike Rack # TH598004.
