In my world the kids are driving now and the wife was done with a full size SUV. This was a great choice for her, specifically the Premium trim. I think this is roughly the same platform as the Corolla Cross but a completely different feel, I tested them back to back. And yes a completely different price tag, not quite mid $40's US for that trim level with some common ad-ons. But your review is spot on - I enjoyed it!

Always good to see a Lexus on Autogefühl. Drove this car about a year ago, and I thought its good but not luxurious enough so I bought the new NX250. The NX250 is great, engine is a little noisy but the car is well insulated. The UX is like driving in an A3 or Q3, not luxurious.
13:41 If you drive calmly and efficiently, most of the time you cannot even hear the engine, because it doesnt rev as high. If you push the accelerator much, every car revs up. I never got the complaints about CVT noise.
@@autogefuehl we need videos where the entire autogefuehl team is doing a road trip together, each picking cars of same class and reviewing it while explaining why they chose it. Not like grand tour but do it your own way, add your touches, make it your own. I would even pay to watch it.
The partical shelf can easily be folded and put in a little bag which you can find in the trunk. Its actually a pretty neat design and reminiscent of those 2 seconds tents you fold.
Agreed. I have a hatchback with a traditional hard shelf which is a nuisance whenever I need to fold down the back seats to transport items (nearly every weekend) - I'd need to either leave it at home or drive around with it in the back of the car while the seats are down. This makes so much more sense.

The 'flimsy' parcel shelf is an advantage in my opinion, it allows you to push a little bit more luggage in the back while still being hidden. It is easier to stow the shelf away and saves weight. Safety wise it is a bad idea anyway to put stuff there. It can end up in your neck in a crash and it blocks your view
Very subtle detail but Lexus is using F-sport Performance badges by the front fenders instead of the regular F-sport badge. The former has a black background while the latter is white.
While I do agree that pointing the CVT drone out is important for new buyers, it is rarely an issue. Only on overtaking or hard acceleration, most of the time you rarely hear the engine. Let's also point out that lexus has much more sound deadening than the toyota equivalent and it is much more quiet than it would be.
The interior looks luxurious enough, though the back seat appears to be quite cramped. I agree with you on the location on the drive mode selector. How many times are you going to use that. People just like to hate on Lexus/Toyota. Lexus knows about their consumer demographic much better that all these armchair critics and they will continue to make cars that sell as long as it makes business sense. Critics don't matter, consumers matter.
Where is the 433L trunk volume figure coming from? is that including the space above the cover? Because the Lexus brochure has it a 320 for the FWD and 283 for the AWD. This is a deal breaker for me, even the LBX has a similar trunk and that's a much smaller car. Gonna need some insane discounts to consider this over an X1 or even a top trim Corolla Cross.
Owned many luxury autos and the Lexus 2025 UX 300 h one is fantastic . Prefer the AWD over FWD . You said 2024 in the beginning of the video that is a typo . PS The UX is a better ride than the BMW and Mercedes much more enjoyable and relaxing to travel in . Sound insulation is the beset I have ever owned .
I'm a bit late for the party, but I agree about the sound insulation. I drove a top-spec 2024 model earlier this year and it felt luxurious and quiet. Unfortunately let down by the interior room, and a ride that was no better than my 2017 Camry.
With iPhone Apple maps navigations should show up in cluster/HUD and for Android google maps should. This is how it works in LBX and I assume here should be the same. Also- there should be a way to just 1 click and adjust speed to latest sign. I've never tried to use it, so I may be wrong.
I know the LBX feels cheaper, but I still think that's a better product than the UX. The UX just isn't particularly good looking nor practical nor good value. It's just there if you really want a car from this segment and it has to be a Lexus.
I used to have an old diesel lexus it started like prrrinndiii prindddiii tirgaradakdakdak, then I changed it out to a Maruti and went home in it where I belong
16:55 Problem with this is that it bings few times and stops, so it doesnt annoy people who drive faster all the time, it only annoys people driving close to speed limit (as you should) because that is where the bingbong therehold is and it bings every time.
@@nikhilsrl Yes, this also depends on each country. For example, in my country there are no environmental labels, insurance is not more expensive because of the engine capacity or horsepower, but because of the value of the car itself, the same happens with the license plates, there are no historical license plates, the one that pays more taxes and insurance is the one with the newest car, and after 25 years of age of the vehicle, you stop paying to the state. And recently the annual technical vehicle verification was eliminated. So, there is no reason to buy new vehicles, just to tell you that there are these Lexus hybrids and they are a failure, because they do not sell hybrids, much less electric.... They bring them, and you can buy them if you want, but nobody does it... In fact, the sales argument for hybrids is “In traffic it doesn't make noise”... For those hybrids that up to a certain speed do not start the combustion engine. And with the value they have, even if you are a Toyota fan, it is worth buying things like a SW4 or even a Land Cruiser. Oh, and if the fear is consumption, a liter of fuel, whether gasoline or diesel, is only worth the equivalent of one euro.
@@nikhilsrl They will continue to launch vehicles with combustion engines. In fact in my region what we do is to bring the designs of the new bodies and we put reliable combustion engines without electrification... We have been doing that for quite some time now, and will continue to do so. For example the Toyota Corolla Cross here has a 2.0l without hybridization and 170cv... or the Peugeot 208 that equips the 1.6 of the 206. It is a normal practice here.
Nice review in true autogefuehl style. The ruler of truth made me lol. So I like the style of AJ. That said, boring car, and if Mazda made a phev version of the cx-30 it would blow this away.
i love lexus, but paying 65k euro on a souped up corolla, is just insane. this will be as successful as the is300h. Toyota doesn't understand that, if a product will exceed 50k euro, then i'm going to expect GS450h performance.
AJ can be a really small guy. Im 195cm, and I try this car in the showroom, i set the front seat for myself (normal diriving position), and the front seat reaches the limit, but the space for me it wast enough fully. But after that I opened the backseat door, and there is 0 legroom behind me. I think this car is not enough for an avarage size woman too... And its much expensiver than a Tesla Model Y what is 2 the size...
Thank you very much for your interest in this topic. I also bought cars with animal skin leather seats before I did my research and got to know the industry. The most important thing is: With today's modern materials, you have nothing to lose, just to gain. You achieve the same kind of luxury and comfort or even better while having the same or better durability with less impact on humans, animals and the environment. You can use fabric/cloth, microfibre or leatherette. The classic approach is using oil/plastic as source material. Overall, a vehicle contains about 300 kg plastic. A car seat needs about 5 kg plastic. So the overall plastic share for the seats is very low and it is at this moment the most efficient way to produce a car seat. A couple of litres of fuel equals a car seat basically. So if you want to save oil/plastic, rather look at consumption for energy, fuel and heating and to other car parts than the seat. Note that animal skin leather also always contains a plastic coating for durability. However, long-term we should of course find raw oil alternatives. So going further, seats can be made from recyclables (e.g. from PET-bottles or old fishing nets) or even increased share of plant-based materials (like pine oil, canola oil or start-up materials like Pinatex from pineapple leaves or Desertex from cactus fibre or the mixed-plant-based Mirum, so be seen at ua-cam.com/video/S1aNZeoatmE/v-deo.html). On a calculation base, by ditching animal skin leather from car interiors, the amount of emissions (CO2e) is reduced by 85 (!) % (www.press.bmwgroup.com/africa-dom-easteurope/article/detail/T0403389EN/on-the-market-from-2023:-bmw-and-mini-models-with-vegan-interiors?language=en) - and that is a very conservative calculation. So it is at this moment the most important thing you can do to make car interiors more sustainable. A good example for high-end luxury with ventilated animal free seats is the BMW X7 with Sensafin: ua-cam.com/video/1pRNkW9nrrw/v-deo.html And the Kia EV9 with plant-based oil share: ua-cam.com/video/6vXePQi_MAk/v-deo.html New leatherette materials can be superior in every aspect, even for cleaning: ua-cam.com/video/u94YXJ72UTA/v-deo.html More and more natural materials are rising: ua-cam.com/video/nRSsXEnwHDo/v-deo.html Also check out what the animal skin leather industry tried to with our channel: ua-cam.com/video/nP_CvLlaFlI/v-deo.html For seeing how the animals are being treated and transported in the global leather industry, watch this footage: ua-cam.com/video/tkjCAmq1_8E/v-deo.html Note that the footage is genuine and was recorded by a highly decorated investigative journalist in Germany I know myself personally. Also a group of researchers and German journalists from public media could recent directly trace the connection between car animal leather production and illegal burning down Amazon rain forest: www.daserste.de/information/reportage-dokumentation/ard-story/videos/illegales-leder-video-100.html In a high animal skin grade, the animals are specifically raised for this matter. However even if meat is the "first" misuse case, the hide remains a profitable body part. That means: If manufacturers put animal leather in a car and you demand it as a customer, you give your money to an industry that earns money by oppressing humans, animals and harms the environment, you make them more profitable. Alternatively, you could support industries with your wallet which try to improve the sustainability of materials. Also, if you turn the argument around to "meat is the waste of the leather industry" you realize that it doesn't make sense (and is ethically doubtful) to discuss the primary use of individual body parts of mammals. Mind experiment: You are getting slain down on the street; would it matter to you if it was for your smartphone or for your purse? Remember that animal skin leather is no different to fur, fur is just leather where the hair is still on. And fur is widely not accepted for clothing anymore, and of course not for cars. We cannot change what we have bought in the past, but with more information and compassion we can change how we decide in the future. For a great insight into sustainability in the automotive industry, you can also check out our extensive documentary: ua-cam.com/video/-8gNXlRGngA/v-deo.html
@sha22276 What country are you from? 35K will get you a crossover hybrid B segment car from a mainstream brand (Toyota, Ford) here in the Netherlands if you go for the highest trim. Also, he said 'Toyota', while a Landcruise can go past that price easily. Even if he means that all Lexus' are Toyota it doesn't make sense, since you shouldn't pay for the brand anyway.
@@autogefuehl oh ok. Verzeihung. Ist an mir vorbei gegangen irgendwie. Hab jetzt übrigens im CLE Cabrio in Hamburg und Berlin Probe sitzen können. Dir / Euch eine schöne Woche.
The UX is just a huge fail from Lexus . It isn’t pretty, it isn’t practical, it isn’t fast , it isn’t truly luxurious. It is exactly nothing. The trunk is way too small also. Price is too high. And that in the most demanded size model.
This is AJ and he has been a member of our team for years, bringing you all-new vehicles where I can't attend because I'm already filming something else. Please remain calm and appreciate the service - thanks!

thanks my friend!
hatred? seriously? 😢 I love AJ's videos, usually don't read comments and just came to post that I was also glad to see more with him.
Appreciate the support!
@@baddad09every comment is positive. I’m not sure where he is seeing hatred or if he’s making it up.
In my world the kids are driving now and the wife was done with a full size SUV. This was a great choice for her, specifically the Premium trim. I think this is roughly the same platform as the Corolla Cross but a completely different feel, I tested them back to back. And yes a completely different price tag, not quite mid $40's US for that trim level with some common ad-ons. But your review is spot on - I enjoyed it!

About fuel consumption: in a city you can have 3.7 l/100 km or even less. I saw such test. Great for such car
AJ good to see you back 👍🏻

cheers m8 !
He’s lost some weight so isn’t chubby like before. It’s probably increased his natural testosterone production.

This is the type of car I see myself driving when my kids grow up

Where is the 433L trunk volume figure coming from? is that including the space above the cover? Because the Lexus brochure has it a 320 for the FWD and 283 for the AWD.
This is a deal breaker for me, even the LBX has a similar trunk and that's a much smaller car. Gonna need some insane discounts to consider this over an X1 or even a top trim Corolla Cross.
This is the official figure from the technical data from bottom to the top, indeed, until the trunk cover it is 315 l
Owned many luxury autos and the Lexus 2025 UX 300 h one is fantastic . Prefer the AWD over FWD . You said 2024 in the beginning of the video that is a typo . PS The UX is a better ride than the BMW and Mercedes much more enjoyable and relaxing to travel in . Sound insulation is the beset I have ever owned .
I'm a bit late for the party, but I agree about the sound insulation. I drove a top-spec 2024 model earlier this year and it felt luxurious and quiet. Unfortunately let down by the interior room, and a ride that was no better than my 2017 Camry.

Watching from the US, pretty wild the AWD option is so much more. In the US, it’s only $2,000 more
Hybrid + F-Sport is the dumbest combo. This should be a cushy, comfortable small car. It should not be “sporty” with a harsh ride.
Interesting that you have the driver attention monitoring system there but here in Canada we don’t have it. 🤷♂️
How is the steering wheel old fashion?
I know the LBX feels cheaper, but I still think that's a better product than the UX. The UX just isn't particularly good looking nor practical nor good value. It's just there if you really want a car from this segment and it has to be a Lexus.
They also increased the price a lot over the 250h
The 250h 2024 had the same infotainment system and touchscreen
It looks like a car from gta or something
this has to be the only car that has power tilt steering wheel with manual seats!
I used to have an old diesel lexus it started like prrrinndiii prindddiii tirgaradakdakdak, then I changed it out to a Maruti and went home in it where I belong

I love the Lexus design... German cars are so bloody boring!
Unashamedly a Lexus brand car
Honda's HR-V hybrid system works best
3:05 Volvo xc 30 ?
XC40 AJ meant
Too small inside and far too expensive
"Steering wheel is old fashion" How does a modern steering wheel looks like?
"You can get animal leather as an option"
So lexus is saying they will offend vegans for a small fee?
Neato!
Thank you very much for your interest in this topic. I also bought cars with animal skin leather seats before I did my research and got to know the industry. The most important thing is: With today's modern materials, you have nothing to lose, just to gain. You achieve the same kind of luxury and comfort or even better while having the same or better durability with less impact on humans, animals and the environment.
You can use fabric/cloth, microfibre or leatherette. The classic approach is using oil/plastic as source material. Overall, a vehicle contains about 300 kg plastic. A car seat needs about 5 kg plastic. So the overall plastic share for the seats is very low and it is at this moment the most efficient way to produce a car seat. A couple of litres of fuel equals a car seat basically. So if you want to save oil/plastic, rather look at consumption for energy, fuel and heating and to other car parts than the seat. Note that animal skin leather also always contains a plastic coating for durability. However, long-term we should of course find raw oil alternatives. So going further, seats can be made from recyclables (e.g. from PET-bottles or old fishing nets) or even increased share of plant-based materials (like pine oil, canola oil or start-up materials like Pinatex from pineapple leaves or Desertex from cactus fibre or the mixed-plant-based Mirum, so be seen at ua-cam.com/video/S1aNZeoatmE/v-deo.html). On a calculation base, by ditching animal skin leather from car interiors, the amount of emissions (CO2e) is reduced by 85 (!) % (www.press.bmwgroup.com/africa-dom-easteurope/article/detail/T0403389EN/on-the-market-from-2023:-bmw-and-mini-models-with-vegan-interiors?language=en) - and that is a very conservative calculation. So it is at this moment the most important thing you can do to make car interiors more sustainable.
A good example for high-end luxury with ventilated animal free seats is the BMW X7 with Sensafin: ua-cam.com/video/1pRNkW9nrrw/v-deo.html
And the Kia EV9 with plant-based oil share: ua-cam.com/video/6vXePQi_MAk/v-deo.html
New leatherette materials can be superior in every aspect, even for cleaning: ua-cam.com/video/u94YXJ72UTA/v-deo.html
More and more natural materials are rising: ua-cam.com/video/nRSsXEnwHDo/v-deo.html
Also check out what the animal skin leather industry tried to with our channel: ua-cam.com/video/nP_CvLlaFlI/v-deo.html
For seeing how the animals are being treated and transported in the global leather industry, watch this footage: ua-cam.com/video/tkjCAmq1_8E/v-deo.html
Note that the footage is genuine and was recorded by a highly decorated investigative journalist in Germany I know myself personally.
Also a group of researchers and German journalists from public media could recent directly trace the connection between car animal leather production and illegal burning down Amazon rain forest:

In a high animal skin grade, the animals are specifically raised for this matter. However even if meat is the "first" misuse case, the hide remains a profitable body part. That means: If manufacturers put animal leather in a car and you demand it as a customer, you give your money to an industry that earns money by oppressing humans, animals and harms the environment, you make them more profitable. Alternatively, you could support industries with your wallet which try to improve the sustainability of materials. Also, if you turn the argument around to "meat is the waste of the leather industry" you realize that it doesn't make sense (and is ethically doubtful) to discuss the primary use of individual body parts of mammals. Mind experiment: You are getting slain down on the street; would it matter to you if it was for your smartphone or for your purse? Remember that animal skin leather is no different to fur, fur is just leather where the hair is still on. And fur is widely not accepted for clothing anymore, and of course not for cars.
We cannot change what we have bought in the past, but with more information and compassion we can change how we decide in the future.

Manual seat adjustment. Poor man's car. This should be forbidden on "premium" cars.
Asian cars are over stylized, the function does not dictate the form
63,000 euros for a Toyota? Bulshizo!
There are Toyota's of this price. Why would you think they don't exist? Question is whether the quality is worth the price.
@@djoetmanot worth the price. This is a 30-40k car
@sha22276 What country are you from? 35K will get you a crossover hybrid B segment car from a mainstream brand (Toyota, Ford) here in the Netherlands if you go for the highest trim.
Also, he said 'Toyota', while a Landcruise can go past that price easily. Even if he means that all Lexus' are Toyota it doesn't make sense, since you shouldn't pay for the brand anyway.
Exactly this car cost 48k in Germany.
Never been this early ^^

The UX is just a huge fail from Lexus .
It isn’t pretty, it isn’t practical, it isn’t fast , it isn’t truly luxurious.
It is exactly nothing.
The trunk is way too small also.
Price is too high.
And that in the most demanded size model.
Indian?
