Purchased in the Ultra Mica blue for my wife. Her smile when she gets in this car is worth every cent.

Your videos are always fun to watch

The Red knocked my glasses off after it popped.

comparing to the 2012 CT200h that I drive, things like rear passenger AC vents, touch screen infotainment and digital cluster, electronic tilt and telescopping steering wheel, more HP and AWD are absolute luxuries. Thanks for the review, Joe!

I drive the 2022 Lexus UX250h and love it! I think the UX300h has some nice changes! Great Review…

Love Your Channel Keep up the Good Work !!!!

Love your videos man

Joe and Lori and Steve keep up the good work real true and I love the video 👍

Luxury Lexus with mark Livingston sound system, at 40mpg such a perfect deal

Bought one of these in premium trim in March. Phenomeal car and experience. I came from a CX-30 turbo and I don't miss it. The electric motor give it just enough scoot to feel punchy. Highway passing is a treat as the electric motors give you instant torque. This wont blow your doors off but it is plenty for those worried. Great video as always, I was waiting for yours! Iridium color with Palimino interior on mine looks great!

Love your car video

Great spec! I like generally like Lexus and the UX well enough, but in this color and trim it's a truly cool, desirable ride. Wish the wheels were even one notch more aggressive - and I don't usually love super aggressive cars but this one works.

My next purchase will be a ‘24 Lexus ES 350 F Sport. (Wish I could pick this color though.)

Awesome mate thank you so much for such a detailed review 👍 And what a gorgeous Lexus love the red with the black roof. Can’t wait for them to arrive in Aussieland 🇦🇺 Keep up the awesome work champion 👏

Yes of course Joe & I will buy this as my daily.

Great work Steven. Except for the red perforated seats thing. You dropped the ball there 😂

That color is fire

All we know is we love our 2020 UX. No issues in 50k+ miles.

Love this car. Wish I waited for the 2025. I just about paid 45k for a premium model.

I believe you can turn off the fake engine noise.

That red color looks faaaaaast! 🤣

Reminds me of my Toyota Matrix, which was a great car.

would definitely take this over Mercedes entry SUV

Well, Joe, I remember when the UX came out for the 2019 model year, it's was quite striking at the time. Through the years with Lexus having redesigns and refreshes in their lineup, this UX just kinda lost its appeal for me.

I upgraded from the 2022 Mazda CX-30 to the 2024 UX 250h last year. It was paid off so it took about $24k off the price of the Lexus. Lexus financing is 8% APR so I would recommend getting a 0% credit card and doing a balance transfer. I was looking for a hybrid made in Japan and it was the same price as a Toyota Crown I was considering, but I preferred the styling of the Lexus. The gas mileage is great (43mpg) and it has been reliable so far. The blind spot monitoring on Mazdas felt safer and more useful, but after getting a bad wheel bearing after only 15k miles, I lost faith in keeping the car long term.

Appreciate your reviews over the years . Just a heads up i think if you check with the dealership the one drove was not a AWD. AWD would have had the badge on the rear and also the battery charger status on the screen did not show the rear engine . Also the ride is even faster and better i think it is about a $1875 upgrade but worth it . Things I would have mentioned : Pull up storage bins in the boot area there are three of them , the break hold button is fantastic at stops and lights you can take your foot off the break , it truly is one of the safest SUVs out there 9 your insurance cost is peanuts) , there is also a wave your foot to open the rear hatch door , the car in cruise steers and drives itself hands free even around bends , it uses regular fuel and a tank can take you about 440 miles on ten gallons , you can drive pure EV for about 16 miles and no need to plug it in to recharge . The Premium version UX300h AWD with a lighter interior is probably the way to go and get the larger touch screen and wireless charger . I have owned BMW , Mercedes ,Caddy , 2 Alfas , Saabs many other brands and of all the 25 + cars I have owned and driven this is my favorite for the smooth ride , quality and fit is just perfect but recommend trying the AWD Premium loaded up for a rest ride !

Raiti’s garage update?

Lexus needs to add this tech and stuff to the IS 300 and 350

You need to review new model 3 performance

Now thats a Cute Ute

Really need your advice Joe…compare to crown signia what do you think

Hey Joe, for me this car/crossover reminds me too much of the Mercedes Benz GLA 250 from the driver, passenger doors back. If it wasn’t for the front end and the interior I would’ve still guessed it.

You can turn the fake sound off by pushing the button that’s just to the left of the left turn signal. Edit: it says ASC

On 22" wheels that thing would look killer.

i assume this is F Sport Handling?

14:35 snatched right out of a kia 😂

If this awd trim had closer to 300hp id be at the dealer right now. Its a beautiful car but underpowered for the price.

Looks like they couldn't take any more zonks for the gloss black finally

No spare tire?

I think this would be a better comparison for this and a Toyota RAV4, but let’s see how this goes!

Yo Raiti, how you gonna make excuses for the giant hood of the QX80 saying I need to see it in person when you literally tower over this toy car lol.

Hope you get your hands on a 2024 Lincoln Nautilus® SUV soon. Just saw an add, and the interior looked really unique. The way the info screen stretches around like a space ship. Very cool.

Did have ux250h, same exactly dimensions. It is not very spacious hatchback not crossover.

Joe is simply the best in his field....

He enjoys his munchies🎉🎉

Gone are the days you could get a bulletproof reliable 3 liter v6 for almost half the price producing more power.

That color is 🥵 😮‍💨 🙌

I Think This Is A Much Nicer Than The Prius🤔💭👍👌🚗!!!

It's nice. It's Lexus with a very low total cost of ownership.

Wouldn't this be more comparable to the corolla cross hybrid?

I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm choosing the Prius.

That door panel is about as interesting as a prison cell wall. Not that I would know how those look 👀

I'm first. Better believe it.

Is Lexus just done with sedans or what ?

That video game engine sound would be a deal breaker for me. Can it be turned off?

Is it made in Japan 🇯🇵!!!!!!

45k thats toyota grand highlander hybrid price

45k is a weird price point...so many overlaps between the NX, RX very close in range

hmmmm… this is a great car not just up to par with it’s price tho

I would say that a better comparison is the Corolla cross instead of the Prius

This should be at least $38K

Not me.. I DO CARE about 0-60 which is the big problem with most of these (non Plug in type) hybrids.. although the new Civic Hybrid may be something.

Raiti do you think its more value to buy the Crown Signia over a new UX?

I had one of these for the day literally a few days ago as a courtesy car. It's a nice little car with a very nice ride, all the new tech was mostly a very nice upgrade, but I found the digital tachometer very laggy. Also, I didn't really notice the small bump in torque/horsepower over the the 250h, but I'd say it has adequate power now. They need to remove the dreadful fake engine noise, and the paddle shifters are very ineffective. Good handling yes I have to agree with that. Last zonk was the Mark Levinson sound system, very disappointing, really lacking bass, the 10 speaker system in my IS300h is so much better.

Can there be at least one mainstream vehicle produced that doesn’t look like they have a super glued an iPad in the center of the dash? None of these screens look integrated anymore.

The Toyota version of this is the Toyota Crown Sport.

Nice, I just don’t like the cvt… or electric motors…

45/40 mpg is terrible for a small hybrid. The prius gets 57/56, Insight gets 55/49, Civic Hybrid gets 50/47. 40 mpg on the highway is almost the same as a non-hybrid Corolla or Civic

Me likey

👍🏿👍🏿🤜🏿🤛🏻

I want to ask a question Which car is more better in terms of Luxury and Comfort The Range Rover Autobiography LWB or the Maybach ???

Test drove this car about 6 months ago. I found it underpowered ,cramped and overpriced for what was being offered. It actually felt a bit cheap inside as well. The CVT was absolutely sub par in my opinion ,especially for the price that wanted..

I like it Edit: not at 45k … interior is a let down imo

Only if you want to pay more to insure it

I like it but I wouldn't pay that much money for a vehicle this size, especially if you only need it for going to work or school.

These cars that are 45k, and modest in performance and dimensions are starting to be picked off by the EV competitors. Toyota is on fire in 2024, but one issue i see happening is that too many of vehicles are bunched in the 40-50k segment, and although they are winning big because they have hybrids when the other mfrs foolishly tried to go EV and failed to deliver on time at the original target price, Toyota has raised their prices so high that the core middle class customer on which they built their fortune is being squeezed out of the new car market. Here in California have a 10% sales tax, and reg fees in the first year are considerable. So a 45k car is 50k out the door, with perhaps $1k reg fee, and then sky high insurance rates. Insurance costs are so high in CA that it is hurting EV sales; the Avg Tesla insurance bill is over $2k/year. That's a lot of money.

...what is it with you (american plural only!) and the AC-Terror?! just kidding, keep cool.

Thats a hot shade of red. Probably get burnt if you touch that thing. Slap a Lexus badge on that baby and charge top dollar for it. Nice stradegy Toyota. I dont think this will be their top seller. Just sayin. 💙

It's a luxo Corolla Cross.

This looks like tge perfect mom car

Jesus Steve do your job lol 😂 just joking 🙃

$45k for....that ... yikes.

0-60 in 7.9 with fake sound. C'Mon 😂 Thanks Joe 🤙🏼

corolla crossover lol

I won't buy it if I can't get the 360-degree camera system in it. Simple as that.

THIS STILL EXISTS!

If it ain't Mazda...it ain't red

Show me the Best FORD fiesta

Toyota powertrain with a Lexus price is quite underwhelming.

Aren't these Lexus bit over priced for what they offer ?

So the speed improved from a walk to a power walk lol

Yo

No. No No No. No No No. This a #HotMess 😟

Too much for the price Joe.

🤎🤎🤎

This car is HALFWAY to being good. Almost there, Joe!

While this is definitely a nice car, I can't understand what consumer base this fits. Take for example the now discontinued CT. That vehicle was a hot hatch with Prius power, something owners constantly complained about. This vehicle should be getting a better powertrain for the money, because the Prius gets close to the UX for far less. Lexus would fare better with a UX300 F-Sport Performance. Then perhaps they can justify that strange engine audio that's pumped in. Great review Raiti!

Comparing a Lexus to a Prius is wild. We live in an interesting time lol.

I hate the name. What does it even mean?

It should be compared to a Corolla Cross, not a Prius
