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.

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 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.

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.

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 !

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.

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.

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®? 🤔

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.

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

PLEASE DO A COMPARISON VIDEO BETWEEN LEXUS UX AND MAZDA CX30

It looks like a fancy Nissan Kicks, but smaller than Toyota Corolla Crossover Hybrid.

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.

What a great size - wish this had a plug-in option.

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.

Wait wait wait. 48K for that!!😂😂😂

Thanks handsome, this was excellent!

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.

Which this had the 2023 Prius/Corolla Cross's newer generation, more powerful hybrid powertrains; would make it a much more serious contender.

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 simply can't get over the fact that all of these are tarted up subcompact crossovers and go for 50k, that's insane.

i know its a hybrid but maybe some sporty tires would boost its performance just a tad

At this price point, I would just get a Venza

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

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

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.

I'm shocked it's got A+ for handling

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

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!

Not worth it! I prefer my 20 Prius Prime Limited over this. Thanks for the video review just the same.

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.

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.

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

This model desperately needs a more practical new gen model with more expansive powertrain choices.

I’d buy a loaded Prius Limited! And have money left over for Botox, Filler, Wine and shoes.

Nowhere close to a luxury car.

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.

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.

What in the world is this. Luxury Corolla with crazy price

Way too much money for a tiny car.....best sold in western Europe where they are more used to little cars.

Homie you know damn well ain’t anything fun about this car if Alex ain’t in the video. Lol

Practical...? You are joking right?

where the H*** is Alex???

The worst offering among all subcompact luxury crossovers in my mind

Cut off your legs before purchase.
