Lexus

is the latest automaker to offer a vehicle

subscription

service, even if it isn’t marketing it that way per se. The

luxury

brand is launching

Lexus

Complete Lease as a “full-service

lease

program,” but if it walks like a duck and talks like a duck, well, you get the idea.

The program is offered exclusively with the 2019 Lexus UX subcompact

crossover

, both the

UX 200

and the

UX 250h hybrid

, in all trim and option levels. Lexus is teaming up with roughly 80

dealers

for the program in seven states: California, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Rhode Island. And it’s touted as a simplified monthly payment that includes

insurance

, scheduled maintenance and other services. So it’s a subscription service, OK?

More specifically, Complete Lease involves a two-year term capped at a total of 20,000 miles. Insurance is provided by Travelers and includes a $250,000 per-person and $500,000 per-accident bodily injury limit and $250,000 property limit, with a $500 deductible, though other rates and coverage can vary by state. You also get two years of connected vehicle services including SiriusXM satellite radio and

Remote Destination Assist on models equipped with Navigation.

There’s no word yet on Complete Lease pricing;

Autoblog

sought that information from Lexus and will update this if we hear back. But we know that

the UX is the lowest-priced Lexus

, starting at $33,025 for the

UX 200

and $35,025 for the

UX 250h

. For comparison’s sake, those are in the same ballpark as the respective starting prices for

Volvo’s XC40 crossover

and

S60

sedan, which are available under the

Care by Volvo

subscription service starting at $700 and $750 per month, respectively.
