- The Lexus UX is far from the sportiest entry in the segment but thanks to a now standard hybrid system it's certainly the most efficient. Add in AWD and the F-Sport handling package and it'll make you smile on a winding road, but it won't win any stoplight races...

I got a 2022 Lexus UX250H and it's amazing. 33,000 km in one year. Currently getting 5.0 per 100 km fuel economy. Amazing car and reliable. So easy to maintain do all maintenance myself.
As far as Canada:
If you're shopping for a hybrid SUV there's actually very few options. The UX isn't perfect but it has enough space for most people who are interested in it.
I had a GX460 and the fuel bill was half a mortgage payment - and guess what? The reviewers and people still were critical about the cargo space and the passenger compartment LOL
The NX hybrid pricing is now out to lunch, people pretending that for "just a few thousand more you can get a NX" are armchair shopping based on old pricing. There's also not many good quality used ones for sale.
Then there's the Toyota Hybrids, many dealers are still adjusting and allocating their top Hybrids with long waits, those prices are out to lunch too. I purchased a 2023 Lexus UX250h Luxury AWD last week for $3K less than a 2023 Toyota Corolla Hybrid XSE AWD with the price adjustment they were trying to get for the Toyota.
As far as the Europeans competitors? Sure more space and speed, but don't think many people own them off warranty, with the Lexus you defintely can feel comfortable with its superior reliability. Then they all have terrible fuel economy compared to the UX.
Like everything else in life, pick your poison.
We bought the 2020 UX200 (non hybrid). It has passed 36,000 miles flawlessly. 31 mpg from Day 1 (70% hwy). This is a car for one or two people. Not a family hauler. The car still looks showroom perfect and it lives outside. Paid $32k. Great value.
I just love seeing that your cruising around belle isle.
I’d honestly take the new Prius prime over this with cash left over and 44-39 miles EV range… or regular Prius awd. Both are just a better deal for small backseat hybrids.
Service Loaners for Lexus Dealers with big stickers in the back windows.
Thanks for the review. I would appreciate another camera angle of the under floor storage of the trunk. That is helpful to see with the eye and not just imagining it.
I honestly like the UX hybrid… it is a tale of compromise from the rear seat room to the hybrid mpg and the pricing (ouch). That said it does drive nice and look good !
Me too, I love this car, but the price too high for what you get. Just go for the NX honestly
What a great size - wish this had a plug-in option.
Wait wait wait. 48K for that!!😂😂😂
That’s insane
My v6 Toyota is 8k cheaper but significantly faster, drives and rides better, much more room, nicer interior and more features.
@@naveenthemachine Yep. Seriously these prices are wild.
It’s sooo luxurious 😂
Yeah, it's way overpriced, especially as it's missing some standard amenities competitors include. That's what you get from a car based on something as pedestrian as a Corolla.
Thanks handsome, this was excellent!
It looks like a fancy Nissan Kicks, but smaller than Toyota Corolla Crossover Hybrid.
Lol 😂 that's right. Same rear end
Brian, Your boss often shines a positive light on cramped third row seats in CUVs by calling them - Emergency Third Row Seating™. Could the Lexus UX be the first $40,000 luxury CUV with Emergency Second Row Seating®? 🤔
More like the first first row
@@moeanthony9308 this UX only sells 16-17K annually. Just not female realtors that need one!
@@normt430 I know
Great review! It makes me wonder how most people prioritize car buying. We prioritized mileage, and size for our dogs, with luxury coming in second. In that respect, we looked at the Lexus, but compared it to things like the Rav 4, and CR-V hybrids. Each of those still has a good amount of, what we wanted in luxury (conveniences like safety systems, wireless Android, comfortable seats, etc.), and they compared very well in price. While the Lexus was a definite possibility, the Audi and Mercedes weren't even considered due to their poor mileage.
Is our shopping outside the norm, or do people shop differently now? Do they just look for something like a sub-compact SUV and compare them all, or they look at other aspects the change the metrics of traditional car-shopping. Just an interesting question.
Great review thanks. When will you be reviewing the RX with a full review. It is every year by far the most popular selling luxury SUV selling more than 40% more units than the #2.
PLEASE DO A COMPARISON VIDEO BETWEEN LEXUS UX AND MAZDA CX30
The cx30 wipes the ux inside and out
The interior pretty much mimics that of the ES given that the seats and steering wheel are the exact same and the general dash layout is remarkably similar. To correct the statement about there being no button for A/C, it will *not* automatically come on as it is a setting that needs to be toggled in the infotainment screen. This is the same for the ES and one of my few gripes about it.
I simply can't get over the fact that all of these are tarted up subcompact crossovers and go for 50k, that's insane.
Which this had the 2023 Prius/Corolla Cross's newer generation, more powerful hybrid powertrains; would make it a much more serious contender.
I dont understand why lexus doesnt have an AC button for the hvac system. in my moms 2015 RX i have to go through the menu to turn it on its a pain in the ass tbh
At this price point, I would just get a Venza
Rav4 even cheaper, and has more room for cargo than Venza.
Completely Agree 😂
@@meathead585 I meant something comparable to Lexus products when it comes to build quality and quiet interior. RAV4 is very noisy.
@@jerbsherb4391 the Camry with the v6 is pretty quiet. I own one and it feels almost as quiet as a Lexus ES 350
@@naveenthemachine Exactly! I want an SUV comparable product of your Camry experience.
The F Sport package on this model is just wrong. It is NOT "sporty" nor a sports car. It should be quiet and soft.
I agree. Not all Lexus models need to have the F Sport trim 😅
I like the UX a lot but compared to the Prius AWD or Corolla Cross Hybrid it just seems over priced and slower and worse MPGs. I do like the looks more though. Its smaller inside too.
How tall are you ? Please mention that when talking about head room
There doesn't seem to be much of a price difference between this at higher spec levels and the UX300e after EV discounts of similar specs.
i know its a hybrid but maybe some sporty tires would boost its performance just a tad
Meh, better get Mazda CX-5 or CX-50 if fuel economy is not an issue.
Just save your money, buy the new Corolla cross hybrid, which is larger, better fuel economy, and the newest hybrid motor
LMAO facts!!!
This is better in looks, young people don't want to look like their driving their moms car that's why crossovers are selling
@@Jykobe491 the Corolla Cross IS a crossover
@@dentonarmstrong7470 still looks big
@@Jykobe491 looks means jack s for these type of cars. Young people would go for VW golf instead of this soon-to-be housewife tiny car.
i prefer the yaris cross . about 25 mpg more than the lexus . about 175 miles more per tank .
Please review the updated Hyundai palisade calligraphy AWD
I'm shocked it's got A+ for handling
It really should get a C- or D for handling
48,000 for this!!!! Incandescent front turn signals!!!! Paying for the Lexus badge on a glorified Toyota. I have the Venza. Beats this car by a mile and a lot cheaper.
My 2030 Camry XSE v6 beats the UX be many many miles in every aspect
The new generation Prius has more horsepower. No panoramic roof. 😅 I'd buy a Venza over this UX for similar money, or a CX-5 turbo signature for $38K
I’d buy a Camry w the v6 over this and save 10k. And I get significantly better performance than the UX. If it has to be a hybrid a Camry hybrid beats the UX in just about every aspect
I agree, the Venza would be a good choice for the same price as the UX.
@@naveenthemachine Sure, but it's a sedan, so not many will be cross-shopping the two. The Venza is a much better bet for anyone who needs an actual crossover (instead of this hatchback).😅
@@markmiller3279 well that I agree. But the trunk in the ux isn’t much better than a camry.
They should’ve given the UX the new Prius/Corolla Cross Hybrid’s powertrain. And haha I actually did get a Venza after considering a UX, and I’m loving it. ‘23 Venza Limited and I have just as many features as a UX, if not more. I have way more space. And the ride is super quiet and smooth, plus material quality inside is excellent. Aaaand I get a pano roof that frosts with the touch of a button. 😅
Hot hatch SUV it’s not, but it’s no slouch like the CT was, don’t get me wrong my CT was awesome, but slouchy!!b
Who is this guy? He’s cute!
Brian has been working with Alex for maybe a year now. And yeah, he's seriously cute. Seems like a really nice guy, too.
Too ugly, too many subpar interior materials, and too little cargo space to be taken seriously as a CUV, luxury or otherwise. The drivetrain is very good, and it should be highly reliable, but that's about all it has to recommend it. Might as well get a much roomier Corolla Cross Hybrid and save some money, or get any other compact hatchback.
Not worth it! I prefer my 20 Prius Prime Limited over this. Thanks for the video review just the same.
Put an S before the UX. You’ll see the problem with the ux
Do yourself a favor and don’t ever drive it. Don’t look at it, don’t sit in it, don’t drive it. Just run away from it and get something else. Literally anything else. Even a RAV4 hybrid. Or Camry hybrid. Those are so much better than this
Cope harder LMAO
Not sure what Naveen is afraid of. It’s just a vehicle that is pretty unassuming and isn’t threatening in any way. Some people will like it, some won’t, no need to be the clingy ex that tries to tell people to stay away. :P
@@ALMX5DP not afraid. It’s just completely undesirable to the point of why would you even bother wasting time looking at this?
@@naveenthemachine you may want to ask actual owners, or maybe Brian’s review might be somewhat enlightening if you simply disregarded it. Seems to sell somewhat decently so there must be a few redeeming qualities that people appreciate.
@@ALMX5DP if you saw Alex or redlines video on the UX neither of them were impressed. They said they’d quickly look elsewhere
I’d rather the Corolla Cross
Looks really weird & off-putting towards rear with those ridiculously protruding taillights. Wish Toyota would bring the new LBX to the USA instead.
The NX is not that big either but too expensive for its value.
This model desperately needs a more practical new gen model with more expansive powertrain choices.
Based on the corolla cross instead of the old chr
@@normanli7085 not really the chr across the board had multilink in the same platform as the cross. You have to get awd in the cross for multilink. So I beg to differ. Chr rode way better than the cross. Facts
@@moeanthony9308 yeah u can say that the ride is better, but if u can't fit inside a car ride doesn't matter. Which is why having the UX be based on the CHR is not gonna work long term
@@normanli7085To each is own. I personally and many think the size is adequate. Ux is tighter in rear than Chr hands down
I’d buy a loaded Prius Limited! And have money left over for Botox, Filler, Wine and shoes.
Homie you know damn well ain’t anything fun about this car if Alex ain’t in the video. Lol
What in the world is this. Luxury Corolla with crazy price
How tall is the reviewer? They seem to always say "I fit fine" and then never announce how tall they are. That tells us nothing. I love the idea of this car, but I would have to actually go and sit in it first. I am 6'1" and might be too tall.
He is 5'9" and almost always says so. Alex is 6'.
Way too much money for a tiny car.....best sold in western Europe where they are more used to little cars.
Not all of us need larger cars. We live in a city and have a tight garage space. A Venza would be a squeeze, and anything larger impossible. We rarely use the rear seat for anything but short drives, with shorter people back there, so rear seat space is no big deal as long as an adult can fit with a little cooperation. Our current car is about this size and is fine. I'm more bothered by the cramped cargo space, but in practice it would do. It just doesn't look efficiently packaged, given how much space is before the load floor. Yeah, I know the battery is in front of that, but they should have either included a mini spare or made the load floor do something to make that space under it more useful.
The problem isn't the size, but the price for the features and material quality. And the hideous styling.
Nowhere close to a luxury car.
The UX has a cheapo interior that looks like a Toyota in person. It has anemic power and tiny trunk space. Far better offerings out there for the money.
Practical...? You are joking right?
where the H*** is Alex???
Cut off your legs before purchase.
The worst offering among all subcompact luxury crossovers in my mind
Not in yore mind, just period
Literally every single one agrees
@@naveenthemachine 🤣
This is not even a crossover. A liftet hatchback perhaps
So is the LS NX RX. Really the whole line up lol
The roof rack looks ridiculous on this hatchback. And why does the UX have less horsepower than the new generation Prius 😅
