Is The Smallest Lexus Any Good? I Review the 2021 Lexus UX250h Luxury AWD

- The Lexus UX is the cheapest way of getting into a Lexus. When you tack on the hybrid capability, AWD, and luxury trim, as seen in this 2021 UX250h Luxury AWD that we tested, the price goes up considerably. Come see what I like and dislike about Lexus' smallest vehicle.

I've got one it's fabulous and really cheap to run. Pad is fine when you know it. I'll buy another. Great vid thanks.
I love mine!!!!
one thing to note. I kind of like how you review the interior from the passenger seat instead of the driver seat. It makes it look like we are sitting at the driver's seat by putting the camera there, and we get to see more of the driver's side.
Excellent description. Very informative.
I bought a 2021 UX250h F Sport, it’s awesome. Especially with these gas prices, I’ll definitely buy another one.
Mr Ernie hope you are enjoying your car. How is the car in terms of noise levels , and quietness?
@@stedye
I’m really enjoying this hybrid, for me it’s a great fit. Haven’t had an issue with noise, it’s a solid ride. I drive it a lot in sport mode, just feels better. Lexus makes great cars
@@erniebecquer7835 thanks so much for reply .
We looked at both UX 200 & 250. You've got your Demographic spot on. But I don't agree with your appraisal that a tomb-like conveyance is the "Lexus" Hallmark. This is a sporty, fun to drive car that stays in its lane and doesn't try to be all things to all drivers. I don't accept that perceived corporate identity has to be represented by every model and trim level. Otherwise the Cadillac CTS-V could never be a true Cadillac. But the CTS-V is the greatest Caddie ever!
We wanted 35mpg hwy, check.
We wanted crisp handling, check.
We wanted a classy interior, check.
We wanted durability, check.
We wanted sub $35k, check.
We wanted great resale, check.
Looks like a 🎯 to me!
Had 1 today as a courtesy car and at 1st I didn't really like it but after driving it I actually started to like it. I think this review is spot on. But what I want it for I'm actually concidering getting 1 now
Great auto- got the 2019 model and very happy
My friend has a Lexus UX, actually looks pretty much identical to that one
Comfortable and luxurious. The safety system alone is worth the premium
I have this Lexus!Best of the best.
Thanks for the bottom line I have a Toyota and I’ll upgrade to this maybe more now after this
One thing to consider when getting this car is what and where it is used. THIS IS A CITY CAR. Americans complain a lot how this car is small then get a bigger one like the NX or RX. If you live in Europe then this is a great choice. I got the UX hybrid since it is the closest size to the CT which is what I really wanted. Living in the suburbs and commuting to the city gas mileage is really good and it is easy to park. Though the all wheel drive is a plus, it has a small gas tank, I would still use my Subaru Outback for longer road trips. This is definitely a good secondary car.
In europe this is a mid sized car. Its not a city car. That would be a Picanto, C1, 500 etc. Its great on the motorway. Very stable and quiet at 70 MPH.
You don't want the FSport or FWD. The UX250h is great in premium plus sat nav.
Very cool in white mica pearl.
You dont need to use the track pad as just about everything is available by voice recognition.
You can stop the display changing with driving mode and always show the rev counter.
You must have the run-flat tyres which ruin the ride. In the UK we get normal tyres and the ride is quiet, smooth and comfy.
I get 53 MPG.
Why do you get 53 when you barley get 40 mpg? Iv always European have very good gas saving cars compared to America even if it's small it gets 30 miles something to a gallon. That's almost double 😳
So it's has the space of an IS but taller?
I am looking at this car to purchase. I have had Porsches, Mercedes Benz, BMW and Jaguar. Have loved them all - especially the Porsche and BMW on performance. AWESome! However, I need to have a vehicle that is dependable. Lexus trumps them all for reliability and does a better job with holding it’s value. AND - I can use regular octane gas and get amazing mileage. Before, I always used Shell VPower for all my other cars. I will be now saving $$$. It will not be as much fun to drive, I know, but you truly cannot compare this car with any of the German cars as far as performance and speed.
All new cars are dependable. People with extra cash don’t keep their cars for a decade. BMW is something I’m looking into. Lexus is better for older drivers that need to be isolated from every noise.
@@Mr99Burns I dont think so. If It is, reliability rating isnt a thing
@@Mr99Burns you are right , it is really quiet when driving
Bmws suck don't do it!! Iv driven Audi and Porche they are the best 2 reliable German vehicles.... Mercedes and BMWs are always getting fixed. I love my RS7 quicker then any car iv driven. It insane going from 0 to 60 in 2.7 seconds 😳... iv driven Lamborghini, Ferrari, Maserati, Bentleys, Rolls-Royce, Ashton Martin's and R8s.... a Twin Turbo Audi R8 with the hurican motor with white and blue interior!!! Closest thing to a Bugatti since audi owns Bugatti! Lol 🤣 I wonder why?!? Alot of my rs7 interior has the same buttons in a Bugatti..
This is so confusing! Some reviewers are impressed with how quiet and compliant the ride is, and you like some other complain the ride is un-lexus like and unrefined. So which is it?! What kind of roads are did you test it on? You don’t say
Some have run-flat tyres and 18" wheels, both of which ruine the ride quality.
Get 17" 60 profile normal tyres.
I drove it in a drive test.. Media says it's a premium car. I felt it wasn't. Not so refined rolling sound insulation as I expected. Hard run flat tires. Short seats amplitude of movements included the steering wheel reach for tall people. Short boot. Reduced width at shoulder level in front seats. Good sound system only in the most expensive version. Confidencial 4 wheel drive version. A well dressed Corolla; a makup only.
@Josiah Cormier If you talk about Corolla hibrid 122cv you are right. Not about the 2.0L Hybrid 180cv. Lexus is nicer and more elegant.:that' what I meant by " a make up".
Run flat tires always ruin the ride, I don’t know why they still come on new cars.
Panoramic sunroof?
I purchased this car not too long ago in Canada as a luxury package but mine doesn't include fog lamps or cornering lamps in front bumper, also headlights are different then you show on your video.
Im looking for one that ddoesnt charge as much gas and is a bit big because we in canada, that been said. How are you liking it?
@@MrWTFish this car has tank of 40 litter and I make 725 km out that tank. I guess I couldn't ask for more it's really good on gas.
Also, you don't require to put premium gasoline, just regular. I love it, so far.
@@lee16 what about the ES 330h? Im just asking cause i prefer this car tan the 330 because of size(one being slighty taller with bigger wheels i believe) and been also AWD which is good for winter, which one would you prefer out of the 2? And do you know is the 330h consumes premium cause google not helping when i search 😅😅
@@MrWTFish if you really want to buy good future lexus I would go with this one.
th-cam.com/video/vq6_mpXKhMg/w-d-xo.html
ES 330h is way to expensive it's also sedan 250 h is a hatchback and your insurance will be more expensive as well
Anyone who has upgraded from a CT200h to a UX250h? What are your experiences and comparisons?
I’m genuinely curious about that too. I sat in one for less than 5 minutes and I wasn’t comfortable. Which was a shocker considering it’s a Lexus. However, now after owning a CRV EXL which is awd.. I will be looking for that specific drive train next for each my cars. I like this because it has awd plus the hybrid capability.
CT is not good for crach test
The worst thing about this car is the size of its boot / trunk, otherwise a differently nice looking car.
No spare tires?
spare tyres are no longer a thing. you get a can of goo and a pump.
Never use the goo. It will ruin the tyre and pressure sensor.
HATE TAUCH SCREEN, DON'T CHANGE IT
Are you a transformer fan???
This car IS GREAT?
Optimus prime face? I'm out
I never drove the Hybrid but I had the 200 Fully loaded and it was the worst piece of crap I have ever own. The car had a terrible road feel or vibration on thr gas pedal that did not go away. Tire blamed the run flat tires, I replaced the tires by nun run flat and issue persisted. Then they said, oh you have the F Sport so is normal, drove the non F and same issue. Then they claimed the engine is a small 4 cylinder so that is why it has more vibration. Meanwhile my GF Corola drives better and has no vibration whatsoever…. I wont ever own another Toyota product in my life.
It’s no good
A rav4 hybrid limited or venza limited are way better than this
Those are not even in the same class!
This is a COMPACT crossover.
This is nicer then the RAV4 and not hideous unlike the Venza.
Underpowered and overpriced. Simply move up to the RX hybrid.
In the UK that can be a $25k price difference. Not so simple.
181 BHP is a lot giving quite rapid acceleration.
You could pay a lot more for a lot less over at BMW and Merc.
It’s a Toyota Corolla Utility vehicle with Lexus badging. I’ve test drove it and it rides like a Corolla. Don’t waste your money buying this.
Th interior is vastly different, it has far more horsepower, and has AWD. This not comparable whatsoever...
@@Gabbagool345 honestly….
Nobody ever makes this comment about VW and Audi cars.
.
My friend has one, it doesn’t drive like a Corolla. The only real issue with this is the huge lack of power
@@e70_x5_guy4 cheeky comment incoming::::
Speed limit is 60-mph in most countries. Or 30-40mph in the city.
It already does 0-60 in around 7 seconds.
A car of this size won’t be towing anything.
So why do we need so much power?
