lexus ux in your video is not top specs, you can get 360 view, powered tail gate, larger infotainment screen, mark levinson stero, sun roof, heads up display, AWD, etc. So its not really a fair comparison. And the biggest difference, lexus is an hybrid which do cost more as it comes with a battery.
Lexus fuel economy SOLOS the X1.
I had the hardest time breaking into a UX250h while operating a tow truck. Owner called us. Took me 30 real minutes. Thick upper door frame that is inset into the roof line like a safe. Quite impressive.
the Lexus UX250H is a hatchback that seems a bit raised up, to replace the old Lexus CT200h. It seems to have the same interior space and boot volume as it's older sibling. The Lexus UX250h is not a mild hybrid, but a hybrid or as they like to call it a "full hybrid"
I think the term is "gutless hybrid" that gets 25mpg if your drive 85mph.
If the UX is a replacement for the CT then I can understand the idea. However the execution of that concept definitely FAILED in my eyes. This thing is atrocious and honestly doesn’t do the whole “replacing the CT” much justice, the CT actually looked good and was clearly understood as a premium Prius. The UX looks like a prank Toyota is playing on folks that ever buy this thing.
Bmws are great to lease but I’d never buy one outright
what would be the reasoning? sorry i’m not too good with cars.
Why?
@tomcurry3358 expensive and delicate, absolute money pit after warranty ends.. reliability is questionable with all the plastic made crap they put in the engines these days and depreciation is disgusting on these cars lol its pretty well known for these German made cars
Lexus all the way for me. Hi tech hybrid engine vs old tech engine is incomparable.
Video is sponsored by bmw 100%😂
Comment is sponsored by Lexus 100%😂
Dude, just start out by say you don’t like Lexuses … you could cut the length of this video in half😏.
i mean, most lexus are rather outdated and only bought because of the reliability. The X1 is brand new so does it surprise you that it's better?
Just a note: The X1 does have cornering lights on the LED headlights tucked into the inside corners nearest to the grill.
Quick question: what's the color of the X1 you're driving in this video, Cape York Grün? I really like it on screen, what is you're opinion of the color in real-life?
Yes correct
The color is waaaaaw on nature ..the moment my wife saw it she fellt in love with it and direct decide to buy the car .
Sam just curious, as tall as you are, do you sit comfortably in your M3? Like would you sit well as a driver or passenger behind yourself, and able to so a 3hr road trip?
Definitely. It’s a large sedan. The seats are super for being bucket style seats
BMW is nice but I would not keep it passed its warranty date. It will become a massive money pit.
It’ll be fine for the next 10 years. I don’t even see the Lexus being much more reliable overall. It’s the more expensive BMW models that have reliability issues over time. Not these economy car models.
@@NS416 exactly what Consumer Reports says... did you know BMW is ranked #3 *tied with Mazda* (up 10 places) for reliability in CR's 2022 survey.
@@NS416 lol just look at used 10 year old 3 series all junk
Only lease a BMW and once the warranty expires you are on your own. It is true for less expensice cars. Purchase a brand new 328i and junked it last year as it was screaming BMW (Bring my wallet).
@@hawaiiguy1 consumer reports survery only about the 1st year of ownership, nothing in longterm reliability which is why bmw ranked so high..and why there are droves of used bmw for a fraction of what they cost new. Money pit most of the time unless you get lucky.
At least we know who is the clear winner for reliability….
Before I had my X3M I had an X3 M40i and before I had that, I had a 2018 X1. The X1 is a great little premium compact crossover. Reliable, more power, more cargo space and better fuel economy than the Q3 and GLA, which is why I chose it over it's competition in the first place. It's better looking too. I see that the new X1's interior is also MILES ahead of the 2018 interior. Also, free BMW Ultimate Care, FTW!
@@mspeed2441 Nice! I had a X2 as a loaner before and it was a weird vehicle, I didn't really get it. SUV-like but not really, Car-like but not really and terrible cargo space. LOL
@@mspeed2441 Yeah definitely! I actually went from a R56 Cooper S to that X1. I felt like the seatback was too small and I couldn't get my back to sit flat into the back of the seat.
I have a 23 X3M non-comp in MBB over Tartufo on order. Mainly didn't go for the comp because it's my DD and I didn't want the 21"s. Lots of train tracks and potholes on my daily commute. I had 21"s on a 2021 SQ5 and it was sidewall-bubble-city all the time. 🤣. My wife drives a 22 GLC43 and we got the 20"s for that as well.
@@mspeed2441 I think either car is fine as a daily. Yes, I believe the X3 is due for a next-gen update for either 2024 or 2025. Personally, I don't think I like where BMW is headed, design-wise. I also don't like the new full-screen gauge cluster/infotainment, no gear selector knob setup. I assume that's the iDrive8 setup. The 2023 M3 also has this(the M cars still have a gear selector though). The X line of suv's all seem to get the new layouts a year after the sedans. So this is why I decided to order my X3M for 2023 instead of waiting. Nice thing about leases is that your not committed to the car. My wife and I are serial-leasers with our leases staggered by a year-and-a-half, so every 18 months or so, we get a new 2nd car and have the opportunity for direct comparisons. We get to see what we like and don't like. We've had a X1, Macan S, 718 Cayman S, SQ5 and currently the GLC43 and M40i(soon to be X3M).
Just my opinion, but I don't think there's any point in "chasing the new" and FOMO for the new stuff in the next gen car. There's always going to be new stuff. If that matters to you then your only option is to lease forever. My wife's 22 GLC43, she decided to purchase because she felt it's the best car so far. I plan to purchase my X3M also, as I may not like the refresh.
@@mspeed2441 Sounds good! I agree! The G80 has grown on me but would look much better with a similar front end to the X3M.
the words BMW and reliable only go in the same sentence with a ''not'' in between. Granted the X1 is a great looking car but doesn't compare to the Lexus. At least if you value reliability and quality and gonna keep the car for longer than 3-4 years
nice review. gonna get the X1.
i'd like to get the M line. but the M line doesnt have the aluminium grill.
i just want my BMW to be all bling bling.
BMW third in reliability? Is that a joke?
BMW will be a money pit in 5yrs whereas the Lexus will be holding its value
BMW is third in terms of reliability so that argument isn’t valid
@@SamCarLegion Sam you know that's not true. BMWs are absolutely trash for reliability in general and you can find plenty of detailed reports on this.
@@B8seven Consumer Reports rated BMW 3rd, Lexus 2nd, Toyota 1st. I owned a Lexus is500 - 6 times in the shop within the first month. I own an M3, zero issues.
@@SamCarLegion Who believe in consumer report. I have owned many BMWs and a.) While they are fun to drive, they become a money pit after warranty expires. b) Their resale sucks, you will have to junk it after 10 years. Lexus or any Japanse brand like Acura will hold their value even after 10 years.
@@SamCarLegiondude, I feel like these people don’t live in the same world as we do.
BMW’s quality has improved a lot these years. Especially the G series. Seems like many people still have the same impression from 10yrs ago
You mentioned paddle shift in the bmw, just to make sure that its only for M Sport pakcage ?
for X1 in Canada and the US, yes, you're correct... Paddle shifters with Boost function requires ordering the M Sport package. (which was how I ordered my X1) :)
I drove the UX Hybrid as well as a BMWX2 for a day. I cant confirm your statement about the UX to have more wind or roadnoise. Roadnoise was in my case from runflat tires which you should change . Other tahn that the Lexus drives more quiet than the BMW . And it handles better as well due to its lower center of gravity.
I'm biased because I have already made up my mind and ordered the BMW X1. :) Having said that, I learned one very important thing about Canada from this video. Look at both vehicles starting around 2:40 into the video. Canada is COLD!!! Both of them have lots of icicles under the front bumper/fender area! WOW! 😍 Don't get me wrong. I love Canada. In fact, I think Canada is better than the US(my own country) in many ways. :)
Cars were seating outside for a couple of days hence why!
@@SamCarLegion I want to thank you for your videos. I'm also 6'2". Seeing someone who is also 6'2" review cars/SUVs makes it easier for me to compare. :) I have been a Lexus owner for 20+ years. It was also a little shocking to me when I test drove the X1. It was quieter than the Lexus NX that I was considering, even at 70mph speeds.
You could also try East Idaho, where it was only -15F for four weeks strait.
Wonder if they will offer 300hp version in the x1 ?
Hopefully
241hp is fast enough for at least 90% of the X1 drivers in US/Canada... :) Obviously, it will be more fun with 59 more horsepowers, but I don't want to wait that long... (at least another year, according to my BMW CA)
X1 looks sharp. Don’t like the tail lights on X1 though. Hoping to review it soon. Lexus is of course better in reliability
Defo
We've had 25 new BMWs since 2010. Barely ever a functional real warranty claim. Maybe just like my nephew would break the cup holder button. But never a tow, flashing check engine, dead battery, anything. But they've all been new. Maybe that's not fair, but our new Jeep GCL and my sisters' new Palisade and Sorrento go to the shop regularly.
Older BMWs? When I had those in college, the previous owners and I, alike, would drive the piss out of them...wear and tear no Toyota or low hp ca would ever incur. So they had wear issues. Cooling, brakes, shafts, bushing, carrier bearing. But, could only afford 10,000 mile cars back then. More recently, though, I drove the crap out of my new M3s, M2s, X3MC, and they never skipped a beat. But they're new.
@@mspeed2441 only 25? I’ve had 30!
I use to own a 3 series BMW it was a money pit!! I now on the UX Lexus and I love it. BMW is great for leasing and under warranty but not for buying and keeping long term. I like the sporty look but the Lexus is reliable and a hybrid is great for fuel savings. The UX is a crossover it’s not a hatchback 😂!
Why do not compare similar package ??
Just got the 2024 lexus 250h f sport and its
is noticeably more sexy looking than that base model 250h model in the video and that x1 😎
good review 👍
Glad you liked it
The x1 taillights looks similar to the new Honda crv
Came here for a drag race! Cmon! Haha which one would win?
i bet this gen's x1 will sell like a hot cake. just miles above the competition
Totally
@@SamCarLegion I placed my order in November. I wanted it with the exact options/colors that I wanted... no more and no less. :) It was only last week that BMW scheduled the production of my X1 on March 20... which means I will probably have it by mid-May. Wish me luck! :)
All the best! You will love it
@@SamCarLegion I'm 97% sure that I'll love it. :) I've owned about 9 or 10 cars in my life.(yes, I'm old) However, I have never spent so much time researching cars/suvs before buying. Mostly due to the shortages, so I can't just go into a dealer's lot and impulse buy.(which is a good thing!) :) I have test drive the demo X1 at my BMW dealer 5 or 6 times for a total of almost 100 miles, so I'm very happy with it. Not to mention the other cars on my original list(Volvo XC60/XC40, Lexus NX, Mercedes GLB, etc) Last, but not least, I have watched at lest 50 different long TH-cam review videos on the new X1. :)
@@S_Paoli I ordered my bmw X1 SDrive20i (X-Line) on 22 December 2022 (I a living in Belgium - 700 km away from the Regensburg - Germany factory). Delivery-time is estimated (by the BMW dealer's system) for ... January ... 2024 !
the mpg comparison was hilarious
Love the BMW. What's the color?
I don’t thing this two cars in same level .
Ux is the most beautiful lexus out there much better looking than ugly X1
Agreed!!!!
Lexus looks like a futuristic version of a Mazda
I'd take a Mazda 3 AWD Turbo over that UGLY Lexus any day.
Hi Tyler! Yeap BMW sponsored this Video!! But after 10years the UX will have 4 or 5 times the value of the BMW, will still be like new and run the same. BMW will be already recycled after 6 or 7 owners before that time. 😂😂
Obviously a BMW fanboy
Obviously a BMW hater
Such a biased review, the Lexus is a HYBRID. Also power tailgate is an option just like it is on the BMW. These cars are not competitors, the Lexus is a raised up hatchback built on the Prius platform. You said a bit of a difference on fuel economy, LMFAO the Lexus blows it away. This is for sure a shill comparison, you should have a disclaimer “Paid for by BMW’
Such a BMW hater - you are clearly paid by Lexus to comment here
@@SamCarLegion By my latest count my guy, you're paid by Honda, Nissan, Range Rover and now BMW among others. Congratulations! "You're paid by *insert car company" is just such a based comment. Never cease to be amazed by this free app.
Jim I am a billionaire thanks to all these “got paid by”
Had the 2019 UX 200. It was a glorified Corolla. Went to Cam Trd,then 340i. So maybe i’ m
biased too. Been thinking f X1 for daily so can get bike in back
@@davevolz6138 Make sure you order the X1 with X-Line... because they do NOT offer factory tow hitch option if you order the X1 with M Sport package. :) although I guess you can put your bikes on the roof rack? :)
Lexus looks way better than BMW! Ive owned them both...
No you haven’t
Lol said absolutely no one 😂
The Lexus front grille is so ugly and dated. Some newer BMWs with huge "kidney grille" are disgusting too, but this X1's grille size is acceptable.
haha x1 really smashed lexus, they are not in same level, bit unfair. i would more like to see X1 vs GLA
Whats wrong with a Lexus?
Quite biased, stopped watching after 4 minutes. If you just love BMWs, don't bother checking other cars
most stupis comparsion I've ever seen , he must work for BMW
Biased review for sure. Downvote
Coming from you 🤣🤣
@@SamCarLegion these are literally opposite vehicles one is brand new and one been on the market for a little while
So? Maybe Lexus should stop selling them?
Scotty, Scotty, is that you!?
Lol the UX is ugly as sin and garbage. No luxury car should come with a CVT transmission.
Wow biased much 😂
The x1 comes out on top because it’s actually competitive unlike the UX which SUX. Like it’s not good at all
The best thing about the x1 or any competitive crossover is that they aren’t an uncompetitive lexus
😬😬
Was looking at X1. Had the UX when it came out and only kept it 4 months. Awful
Hope X1 isn’t a repeat of that.
Savagegeese bashed it.
Maybe X3 M40i is the way to go
The BMW always ages badly compared to the Lexus.
Clearly this guy is biased towards bmw ... just another sheep !
The interior of the Lexus looks like old BMW.
Who wants a gasoline car these days ? Must be die hard bmw fans. There is no need to compare.
98% of the new buyers
Most e key Ric comes from nukes, coal, etc…..😊
Wait what? Did you know the UX is NOT electric, it is a hybrid. Did you also know the X1 comes in fully electric as well.
Also Gasoline cars are far better commuter cars than Electric cars. For strolling the city EVs are great, but for actual driving, not so much.
X1 is basicly trash, has no near UX quality and looks dull
BMW is the third most reliable brand based on consumer report?
Hahaha! The dumbest comment I have seen in a few days!
That UX is so ugly!!
