I think you could have spent more time talking about the advantages of having the 80kW electric motor in addition to the petrol engine. It really does improve torque and acceleration.
I think it's Toyota comparison is the Yaris cross. If your trying to compare dimensions and interior space. Also I think this reviewer is being over-complimentary. It really is small inside. And using the under-floor ( where the tyre used to be) as part of trunk size, is a bit of a stretch.
$63k seems a bit ambitious, but i just priced out the ux full ev variant, and its $25k dearer. my configuration came out at $88k. surely batteries dont cost $25k given they are the same car? i think lexus australia are just charging because they can : )
Again, I hear about the "quirky and strange" CD/DVD player included in later model cars! It's a simple fact missed by just about all (Xgen, Xbox) reviewers, like what's a CD/DVD got that MP3 or Smart phone app play audio doesn't have, huh??!! If you don't know, I'm not going to tell youz Twittrs, Xers & Millenials nutin! Needless to say, the CD/DVD inclusion is because the car is luxuriously quite inside when driving, compared to cars without this particular audio inclusion (just about every other model out there). Combined with a decent audio system, and space to store a number of CD's and DVD's... like a CD stacker, which Lexus doesn't come with... Just don't get me started on how CD and DVD stereo music dumbed down 8 track quadraphonic car audio, that I have been living without forever now!! Heads up Lexus!
We bought the base model specifically to avoid the stupid wheels and tyres. Lexus = luxury so why mess it up with some pretension of Sport. Nothing sporty about the UX so the base model is a better car regardless of the price. Flappy paddles are as pointless as the sliding dash. We went ICE as most of our driving is long distance country so didn't see the point of lugging around the extra technology. We average 5.9l/100km so I would expect the hybrid should do a fair bit better than that. We replaced a current model Leaf with the UX and the UX is way quieter and comfortable. The Leaf is fabulous around town, the UX smashes it in the country. Great tourer for 2 people, not a family car as the boot is a joke.
@@Scifi_Ape the combination of cvt and cruise control works super smooth. You hear and feel nothing but if you watch the tacho it can be up and down all over the place. Without the cruise it is like any auto but heaps smoother. I enjoyed the transition from manual to VAG DCT and then DCT. The Toyota DCT is great, I don't understand why it is not in every non sporty model. I have never used the *manual * option, works fine on a DSG but just feels dumb in CVT.
Do you think the Lexus UX feels like a cheap afterthought? Comment below.
You have a wonderful review process. A cool calm precise presentation demeanor. Keep up the great work mate !

You're right there. I wouldn't be surprised if this was a paid review. 🤷♂️
Funny. Under there is where I store my spare wheel.

Good to hear about the country driving for once.
How does the base Luxury model CVT handle country style hillies?

Is this the Lexus equivalent to the Corolla Cross? Which model falls in line with the Rav4?
Yes. The NX is the Lexus equivalent for the Rav4.
I don't know how the hell you are getting 7. My average is 4.8 and I've been driving hybrids for 5 years.
Driving or rouling down from the top 😂😂😂
This is not luxure car . Just tell true 😊
