Your channel is so refreshing.. no biased no gimmicks just a straight up review with honesty.. you either hate or love the big mouth Lexus grille and personally i love the look , the headlights being my favorite part… Lexus and Toyota have something for almost everyone ..
Venza or UX 250h...either way, you're getting a quality Toyota vehicle.
Good call David!
Correct
We bought a 2022 Lexus UX250h luxury edition in Ottawa, Canada and have now owned it for three months. Ours has electric tailgate and ventilated seats and is AWD. We love the drive and power is awesome for any driving we have done. Fuel economy is fabulous and varies between 5.2 and 5.6 L / 100 km. Space is tight in the back but we can get our three grand daughters, with booster seats, back there. Cargo is good but load height is limited. We love the infotainment system but advise you disable all sounds and haptics or it will drive you nuts! It’s really a fabulous vehicle even with the space constraints! We also test drove the 2022 Venza and this is by far a much nicer ride! Great Review!
This is so helpful. I’m torn between the Venza 2022 and Lexus if 2023b
Good review Team Raiti and glad to see Lori back on the camera!
I am loving this UX250h a lot! That Atomic Silver really pops in the sun!
I like how they designed it and especially all the curves and bumps throughout the outside of it. The inside is good.
Joe I love that you're out in the sun for us getting all the good camera angles and reviews but save your eyes! wear some glasses man! just looking out for ya. As always great video!
This is literally the only crossover I could see myself in, looks so damn sharp and the perfect size. I'm torn between getting this or a 3is
It inside, the quality of my partners is immaculate and you're not getting anything for the price like it.
I want the LX, IS, and the UX. Don't know what to pick. They all look really good
Actually the UX250h is refreshed for 2023. I believe it will go on sale sometime in the Fall of 2022. I extracted the following from Car and Driver:
What's New for 2023?
Lexus has dropped the non-hybrid UX200 models from the lineup for 2023 making the all-wheel drive hybrid powertrain standard. Lexus says it has made changes to the UX’s chassis and suspension to improve both handling and ride quality. We’ll be able to confirm that only after we’ve driven this latest model. A new F Sport Handling package is available on the F Sport model that includes and adaptive dampers. Lexus has also installed its more modern Lexus Interface touchscreen infotainment system into the UX this year. The updated software looks more up-to-date and offers an integrated voice assistant, over-the-air update capabilities, and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. An 8.0-inch display is standard but the system looks best on the larger, optional 12.3-inch screen. The infotainment display has been relocated so it’s within reach for the driver and front passenger and the company’s annoying touchpad controller has been eliminated and.
7:40 always looking forward to the food talk about door pocket imao XD
Great to see you doing your work! I think the UX can be a great option for people.
I am thinking about the UX for my next vehicle.
Joe thanks for grinding this one out 😂 , happy 4th to you and Lori!
Love the compact design for this vehicle. Not my cup of tea but it definitely is a nice entry level SUV Hybrid
Great review and your humorous food related descriptions had my laughing. Thanks.
Love you’re videos raiti!!
I love it Joe and Lori and keep up the good work and I love the video lot real true happy 4th July 💯💯💯💯💯

Wow!! This is all I have been waiting for this one and also I gonna choose the 2022 Lexus UX 250h over the 2022 Toyota Venza Joe.
I bought a 2025 AWD UX300h-Luxury package here in Canada 🇨🇦 ETA end of April 2024. Can’t wait to see your review of this updated model! I think you might be pleasantly surprised. Thanks for making the best reviews! 😎
Venza seems like the better choice. You get more for your money. Good to see Lori back on the filming duties!
Toyota has the best hybrids period
We own this model car. I call it the space ship. We love it. A little small but is still ok. Great gas mileage and decent acceleration. Feels very solid. We’ll keep it for a long time. Not sure why you didn’t have ventilated seats? Ours has heated and cooled seats unless I don’t understand what you are referring to. Great review hoss.
Yeah my girlfriend's has all the bells & whistles. It is a little futuristic jet inside especially on the drivers side. Its a really fun crossover.
Awd?
Would you recommend going to the mountains with it
@@curious_7525 Yes. Went to a Nantahala mountain cabin in it recently on a gravel rock driveway probably 45 degree slope. Got up it no problem. Capable little ride.
@@fitfogey I drove up to Big bear mountain and felt my car fish tailing. I pulled over to put on snow chains now I have a hefty car repair note from the damage the chains did to my car.
Just a heads up, the sounds can be permanently turned off with the ASC button on the left of the dash. Never turns itself back on.
Lori and Steve do a great job recording the videos' content
Thanks Ronald! You are awesome
Nice Lexus UX250h F-Sport I loving the way it looks yes, it's not perfect but it's very cool.
If you want luxury then this would be the one. Otherwise,the Venza has more power and is more affordable. 🤷🏻♂️ Thanks Joe and Lori! Hope you’re having a great 4th! 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸
Happy 4th of July to you both. If I had to choose I'd take the Venza LE You're right the Hybrid logo way out of position.
I own a 2019 250h and it has a power lift gate and heated/ventilated seats!
J - I dig some of the tech features, but having such a limited drivetrain makes me think there's gotta be other options out there. there's no doubt Lexus makes quality products, I put this in the Soccer Mom category. good post - tony
That track pad is the WORST! Good and thorough review. Thanks.
Hey Raiti's Rides Can You Make The 2022 Toyota Venza Hybrid Limited
UX 250h & Venza...Good choices, but the Avalon hybrid is the Alpha among them 😆👌 Great work as usual 👌
Avalon is good if you have great grandchildren
I would go for the Venza, I prefer more interior room over the luxury finishes.
Yeah depends on your needs. Without kids or empty nesters this is a perfect car for my wife. With another bigger car in the family like a ES350h for longer trips, this is a perfect combination.
@@jml9550 I’m a 23 yr old man considering this LOL I’m the opposite of the original poster I don’t need the space and rather have the more upscale design! Also really “affordable” for its class of car and reliable because it’s a Toyota product
@@Carfan678 can’t agree more about Lexus exterior style and interior quality. Me and my wife have been driving Lexus for the last 15 years and they are great. My wife 08 Rx350 with 148K mikes is running strong but she is due for a new car soon and we are looking at the NX350H. We found the UX a little too tight and slow. our kids are almost out of the house and my 17 ES350 with 30k mikes is a perfect road trip car. Smooth quiet and almost 28MpG if I keep it under 75mph.
@@FIREB4II yep. I test drove the new Lexus ES350 vs Toyota Avalon. There is a difference in terms of quietness and smoothness. The Lexus feels a little more solid, maybe more sound deadening materials?
Wait for next year, when the AWD hybrid model becomes standard and a closer touchscreen as well. New cameras as well.
I own a 2020 UX 250h in the Luxury trim. There have been no changes in the features offered in this 2022 Model Year Version, aside from the wheel well trim being black plastic instead of body color. The Luxury trim, in 2020 at least, has a powered Tailgate, heated and ventilated leather seats (with Auto on/off) in Glazed Caramel (Orange), heated steering wheel, info screen size is the same, head-up display, a slightly different digital gauge cluster (half digital. half analog), Wireless Charging Pad, Rain-Sensing Front Wipers, 6-speaker sound system. If you do not get the F-Sport Package, you will not have the fake engine sounds (huge loss I know, lol). I have owned his car for 2 years now, and have had zero problems. It's major downsides are that it has extremely limited Cargo space (The sloped tailgate makes it even worse for trying to carry anything, It can barely hold 1 full size luggage in the cargo area if the back seats are up), it is not fast, though it feels surprising peppy for its 181 HP, I assume thanks to the assistance of the electric motor, the vehicle is not tall so you have a lower ride height, they call it an SUV, but it is extremely compact, it doesn't feel like one.

Did they fix the issue with the steering wheel not being able to move up enough
I thought I wanted a RAV4 hybrid, but maybe the Lexus UX 250h is the car for me. I need to drive it. It does need a redesign on the infotainment especially a touch screen. But I like gas mileage (41/38). that is good news. Comfort is important too. And I like the price of $42,800.00
This has subtle styling nothing is in your face like other models. I think this is a good suv to buy to enter the Lexus family of SUV’s plus a hybrid too. You get a small suv and save fuel at the pump.
Great little SUV for people wo kids or empty nesters.
Joe singing Boyz II Men 😂
Is there enough space in the backseat for two car seats?
The gauges on my 2015 IS350 F-Sport also move like the ones on this car. I always forget about that little Easter egg.

Is this based on the bz4h Architecture???
I asked for a quote on this car. It was $700/month for the base model lease not even the Hybrid. How can this be entry level anymore? it's wild.
The venza for OLD people, Lexus ux for younger people but i OLD people, i LOVED Lexus ux.
Now I see the Lexus interior design of the Mazda 😂 the screen, seats and the drunk platform that adjusts
Hola Joe
From Dominican Republic
See you back in Tampa
What does the Toyota Venza have to do with this Lexus UX? This comparison doesn't make any sense at all. Perhaps you could have compared the UX to the Mercedes Benz GLA
it makes only for Joe sense to compete a small premium crossover with a way bigger non premium SUV.
I get it’s a crossover but does this sit higher than a sedan?
You think this will drive similar when is comes to acceleration and get the same gas mileage as the new Toyota corolla cross hybrid? Sounds like they have a similar engine.
This is the luxury Corolla Cross Hybrid
‘I wish it would take up the whole 10 inches’…. That’s what she said! 😎
I think the NX would be more comparable against the Venza.
Just say "no" to rear wipers.
I need to make bumper stickers to that!
@@RaitisRides Totally
What does the white band on your right wrist mean?
A CD player?! I'm sold! Or it was your rendition of Boyz II Men 😂
Love how your family has Lexus vehicles and your grandpops has a Toyota. 6:59
CT replacement, is what it looks like to me. 😊👍🏻
Venza definitely better. I feel like the UX is too slow and the updated touch screen for 2023 is still not enough to win me over. Fingers crossed for the next IS refresh to be good.
Hahahahahahahaha I love the vocals! hahahah!
I also like the UX 250h power sunroof and CD player over the Venza not having them. I still use CDs.

I feel that the few extra luxury features don't justify the higher cost of the UX. Plus, the UX is smaller with less cargo space. Venza is the better value.
I think the styling of the Venza is better also.
Great review!
I was reading that they were getting rid of the trackpad and putting in the new infotainment found in the NX for the update year?
I’m confused!
That is exactly what they are doing! Raiti is reviewing the 2022 model, the new updates will be in the 2023 model coming out later this year. You can see the 2023 Lexus UX on Kirk Kreifel's channel!
Happy 4th 🗽💥💥💥
Lexus should put NX350h powertrain into UX, these two car get similar 39MPG, but 350h get extra 50hp then 250h
Cool video… cool dude…. I prefer Toyota Venza…. Or Lexus 350 hybrid….
Wrx should have took notes on the fender flares
0 to 60: Slightly faster than a 1971 Pinto. 1/4 Mile: Today.
Yeah like this is the fucking car to look at if you’re interested in a fast 0-60. Why do you idiots comment on every video?
Lexus IS is my dream car but I want a Venza as hybrid looks way better then a prius
The separated fender flares hurt the design, but still better than black plastic.

Oh one more thing Joe! And also you should compare the venza to the NX 350 H instead thanks
You got it!
Venza - all day!!
Is this better than 2022 lexusES 300h luxury?
You would think by Lexus going with the touch screen on the NX they would've done the same on the UX❓️🤔
Mid cycle refresh for 2023 was unveiled 2-3 months ago just not at dealers yet and it has a touch screen
@@Carfan678 Ah 🆗️ thanks for the info.
Seriously UX is sub-compact, and Venza in Intermediate
2 class of difference
Not same engine, more place and same kind ok luxe. I have both car and is very different.
Compare UX with corolla cross hybride and you have better comparaison
Even then I feel like the corolla cross is bigger the UX is tiny in person closer to the first gen Mercedes GLA in terms of size almost looks like a hatchback
The ux250h does not compare to the venza . The ux250h is more of a car than a suv . The venza should compare to the nx350h
A hood prop, no power assist with the hatch but a HUD ..in a Lexus ? weird..
Free sparklers with purchase.
I don’t get the comparison. The UX is more compatible with the Cross, while the Venza is more compatible with the NX.
I've owned the 2022 UX 250h luxury for 5 months now and am really disappointed. I moved from a Mazda 3 and a Mazda cx-5 (wife drove). both were more comfortable, had better user experience, minimalist and much more fun to drive. the lexus just feels heavy with so many useless and redundant buttons jutting out. am now selling the ux and getting a Mazda CX-30 Turbo premium plus.
Not seeing any parking sensors? Is that another upgrade? 😂
I saw wait for the Corolla cross, or get the NX

JDM First! Sports Variant Lover! And really love HotHatches; the GR Corolla looks like a 'Dream-Come-True'! So I'm emphatically hoping Yota-Lexus Think-tank has plans somewhere on the desk of the decision makers for a performance variant of this platform! I love the lines and dimensions of this luxury compact; but it times North of 250 hp desirablely! Thanks for your impressions!!! ✌🏾❤✊🏾
I would prefer the venza over this…….a bit more interior room and cleaner styling.
Why even have roof rails at all in todays Luxury SUVs 🚙 ?
Venza xle package for the same price blows this Lexus completely out of the water! Think this Lexus may wither on the vine.
Okay the Venza and the UX are not the same so why compare it?
👍
I jist traded my UX sport for VW taoes . The space in the was not it and no touch screen on a 2022 🤷♀️
I still don’t care for the cow-catcher front end. Lexus used to have a truly luxurious look, but they went in the wrong direction (as did Toyota) about a decade ago. Lincoln went the opposite route, morphing from that ridiculous gull-wing front end to a very nice look coinciding with ditching the MK_ naming scheme. Also, Lexus can claim its infotainment setup is safer than a touchscreen, but I disagree. Those two factors make Lexus a no-go; Toyota at least has a more straightforward infotainment setup.
I think i put the Hyundai Santa Fe, Kia Sorento, Nissan Rogue, or the Toyota Highlander for the same price.
Why the damn CD player???
👍👍👍
substantial redesign for the 23 MY. Gone is the horrible touch pad. D
o not buy a 22 unless being given away.
You are so very right about that'.
@@RaitisRides I bought a 2015 and then a 2017 NX both new. Not until the new 22 redesign did Lexus finally address the NX's shortcomings. The lack of CarPlay, miserable BT commands, horrible touchpad, made the NX a second glass vehicle. Don't get me started on acceleration or handling. Finally with the UX they are getting rid of the subpar combustion engine and moving to hybrid only. and dumping the ill conceived touchpad of doom. if I've learned anything owning four Lexus SUV's, it's that early adopters never escape unscathed. My 2019 Hyundai Tucson Ultimate and now 2021 Kia Sportage SX turbo AWD, blows away the 2015 to 2021 NX family as well as all UX's until 2023. And all for 20K less.

this is not a venza competitor, it's a ch-r with leather seats
Thank You Almighty God for blessing me I will buy one for myself
The 2023 UX is around the corner 😉
I just can't get past the sound of the motor coming through the speakers being so different from when you hear the actual sound of the engine. It's so noticeable I find it annoying. Hard pass on this.
For everyone that says they’ll take this over Venza, I bet y’all wouldn’t be saying that if the Venza has Lexus badge instead of Toyota. Nothing else changed on Venza except the badge.
you dont compare by their prices, but their sizes. it makes no sense to compare a tiny luxury brand with a larger common brand. UX is comparable with the size of C-HR/H-RV but not venza
only for Joe makes sense but normal thinking people don´t.
No 360° camera
You should compare Lexus with BMW and not Toyota
you are comparing apple to candy,
