I just bought the UX 250h, my first Lexus and first SUV. I love it in every way, and the fuel efficiency is nothing short of amazing. I have learned in these first months how to drive for better mileage. Depending on temps and traffic lights, I have gotten 52 mpg driving from Roslindale (an outer section of Boston) to Cambridge (9.7 miles) Last week driving from Roslindale to Newton (8.5 miles) my UX got 64.9 mpg. 64.9! Plus it is so enjoyable to drive. It was not possible to choose from many colors at this time, but I was able to get Obsidian with camel interior, which looks very sleek and elegant. Thank you for your comprehensive review. It is spot on.
@@kevzzang I learned over time to let up on the gas whenever possible, or to minimize how much I press on the gas. The day of the 65 mpg, I hit all the lights so as not needing to stop and start , and the traffic conditions plus many down hill stretches allowed for much coasting or very little gas. Some days I do everything to keep in electric mode as much as possible. Other days I drive for fun- as in "step on it". Even then I get good mileage. Playing with this gives a new dimension to the driving experience.
Love the Lexus brand - own one now & never been happier with a car. The UX has great value, plus is amazingly quiet & great mileage with the hybrid configuration. Really great review guys - thoroughly enjoyed it; thanks for putting it up!
I own this car. I have about 10k kilometers in so far. The consumption is at around 6L per 100km and I am not mindful of slow acceleration/deceleration to fully utilize the hybrid system. A proper driving style should be able to score around 5.5L per 100km easily. It barely burns any gas in traffic in start and stop conditions.
I am liking this Lexus UX vehicle, I am 5’6 and I would definitely feel small in that SUV which would be perfect for me actually. Not to big of a car and not to small.It’s definitely an upgrade with everything onboard in this crossover, from the car I currently have and would feel very comfortable.
@@JesusIsLord7773 I get the expected 37 mpg. Most of my driving is in town on short trips and occasional trips on the highway. I actually get better mileage on the highway--40+ mpg.
Looking forward to see if you guys take a look at the 2023 refresh. Thats the one Im eyeing with the improved infotainment system and structural improvements.
@@conradce lol it's hardly a land yacht. I've watched 100 reviews for the NX nobody called it a yacht. I wanted a UX for 3 years. We test drove it last week and like it but you can't fit anything in it except 4 people . Plus the NX has 59 more HP and the same gas mileage as the UX.. I ordered a 350H.
@@mikej238 It all depends on what you’re used to, and what your needs are. I drive a Tesla Model 3 and my wife drives a Honda Prelude. Both are low to the ground and have tight suspensions and great steering. By comparison, the RAV4 and Lexus NX felt very floaty, had a lot of body roll, understeer, etc., while the UX actually had decent handling. I realize probably all SUVs are like this (unless it’s a Porch Cayenne maybe?). So maybe that means we’re just not SUV people. But my wife didn’t like the feel of the NX and pretty much instantly fell in love with the UX. We’re this close 🤌🏻 to ordering one. She thinks the cargo will be adequate for a weekly trip to Costco or a trip to the nursery once a year for a few plants, or for her mother’s walker, which is all she cares about. We’re a pair of empty nesters so there’s no soccer or hockey equipment, and we’ve never taken bikes anywhere or anything like that. On first glance, the cargo space looks comparable or superior to that of the Suzuki SX4 crossover she used to drive around, and she thought that was plenty. But a couple of reviews and now your comment have got me thinking that I need to double check the cargo space-maybe test that walker. But it fits fine in the trunk of my Model 3, so I doubt the UX would be a problem.
@@conradce bring the walker to test anyway. I have an RX350 and will be test driving this one next week. I want that exact colour (nori green) with white leather interior. Almost empty nester and we have an Odyssey for the space etc.
Love your videos and how detailed it is!! One small detail that could make it even better is if we can get an engine view of the car like in the really early videos posted for this channel.
Was interested in the UX250h but the woefully outdated infotainment system & the fact a decent spec new factory order takes you over the £40k higher vehicle tax bracket in the UK meant I didn't bother. The updated C-HR with new Toyota Smart Connect infotainment plus the 2 litre hybrid power train is a much better choice. A fully loaded C-HR with option packs still keeps you under the £40k vehicle tax threshold.
@@manuitisholk3488 - Basically If the official published manufacturers list price before any discounts is more then £40k, you have to pay higher rate vehicle road tax for years 2 to 6 inclusive, which means £510 per year ( X 5 years ) to tax a decent spec UX250h. A fully loaded C-HR falls under £40k so £155 a year to tax it.
The UX is a great economical offering, especially at that price!! Feeling conned, in the UK you basically get the base model for £34,000! Its about $65k equivalent to get a decent specced UX 250h :(
LMAO. What do you get for $34K? Not one of these!! I just bought a 2021 for $42,000 not including tax. I was told I got a good deal and there were buyers standing in line. A 2022 is 6-7 month in a wait line if that. Love the car - it is getting 43 MPG as I know how to drive it. It is quiet and has plenty of power if you want to use it.
Great video thanks and hello from the UK. I just ordered a new 2023 UX 250 F Sport design. Have you driven one? - The reason I ask is when you did the demo in pure EV mode, the petrol engine kicked in around 28 MPH. Does the 2023 model exceed that? - with a gentle right foot that is........ Subscribed to you today. Peter.
Thanks! Nothing mechanical changes for the 2023 model but, in theory, you could make it to a higher speed in EV mode. This hybrid system is weaker than in some other Toyotas so we struggled to keep up with traffic here in the States of we didn't take off more aggressively. Hope this helps.
My neighbor has a Lexus. They come in at 2:30 am and Hooonkkkk Lock their Lexus. Wakes me up. Why Lexus? Would it hurt you to lower the volunme toa small beep so our community can sleep? Pleassssseeeee!
my ux250h when I filled up gas, it always shows the range about 360 miles and i could run about 320 miles or up. but after they fixed 2 right side wheels, the range always shows about 310 miles and when I drive like usual, I only could drive 270 miles or less.i brought it to check but Lexus said nothing wrong, anyone know what happens?
Like the Lexus CT...a bad entry car. Slow, mediocre radio, Etc. I would stay away. A loaded Toyota Corolla is a better car with change to spare. I used to get a Lexus CT as a loaner and it was bad all around.
Your opinion, plus this car doesn’t even compare to those 😂 Venza compares to something like a Nx. This car compares to a Corolla cross because of size, there will be a hybrid Corolla cross too!
@@alh06 why would you choose this over a rav4 hybrid or venza hybrid both of which are way faster, more spacious, venza is more luxurious, get the same mpg, offer a more capable AWD system, more ground clearance, better technology as well?
Don't know why lexus made this vehicle, why not buy a slightly bigger lexus nx ?? I am going to buy a used lexus nx and would rather purchase that than spend about the same amount of money for a 2022 new lexus ux , Reminds me of anyone buying the mini luxury cross over audi q3 I don't know the appeal or target market audience too small and way over priced , to each his or her own ......

How’s the infotainment?
We have the non-Hybrid 2020 UX200 and this is a superb car. Great nimble handling, 30+ mpg from Day#1, beautiful finish inside and out.
We LOVE It.

black trim just oxidizes over time. painted trim seems more long lasting.

Absolutely! We will review one as soon as we can 👍
Great video of the Lexus UX Hybrid!! Great job guys!!
The color is incredible. Great review. 👍
Lexus do great colours!
Thanks for measuring NVH levels. So many automakers cheap out on this, and knowing the NVH makes feel me better about my impending UX purchase.
Glad to help!
I feel like i'm willing to pay 5000 dollars more for the bigger and more luxious NX. NX even has the infotainment touch screen upgrade
10 000 more for an NX hybrid
But then you also get that floaty land-yacht feel in the handling. We drove both today and much preferred the feel of the UX.

Most of the high end LX models that are $80,000 at base price are sold for $200,000 here in Miami so yeah it’s quite bad

The Lexus UX only comes as a hybrid. There is not other powertrain available.
Starting with the 2023 model year. This video is about the 2022

could not find anywhere for $33000, seems it starts around d $39000+ base model with very few option.
Not worth 40k
he's quoting US price. Canada after taxes an delivery depending where you live is close to or at 45g

Compact suv or big hatchback
Have u reviewed the Lexus ux300h yet?
Not yet, but hopefully that review will be coming soon 👍
Looks like a Rav4 if you take away the badge. Seems a great luxury car
Looks nothing like rav 4
Bro looks nothing like a rav lol
You cant get one of these for 34K!!! Must be nuts!
like lexus. but this does look cheap.
Because Lexus is reliable. The F Sport has a red interior.

Just like the NX. Wonder why they both exist.
different markets/audiences, NX is pretty large in UK or European cities for example
check the size difference

Where is it at $33k
Better go for nissan qashqai e-power ;)
Ondeh mandeh. Mobil lexus warnanya hijau. Mobil cantik ❤👍
I wonder why they continue putting in CD players. Aren't most of us over the CD?
I use mine every blue moon... mostly Bluetooth though.
My dad uses his CD player everyday, all about demographics
I pretty sure the example you are showing is atleast 40k
yeah it did have some options on it
Great review. But UX is a Joke.. Rav4 hybrid better.
Thanks!
Almost no changes from old model
But They're not trying to be every other luxury brand cuz Lexus has a legendary reliability longevity.
For 34k you can get a fully loaded cx30 turbo the lexus UX is basically a Corolla hatchback with a different body.
I guess it depends if you value reliability and fuel economy.
Decent car but ruined by that stupid trackpad.
Looks like Mazda 3
time to see an optometrist

I have had that feed back in the past with my lapel mic Found out if I have my phone in airplane mode, the feedback doesn't happen.

Not as good as a Subaru Crosstrek.
