  • 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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    • @fivish

      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.

    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.

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.

    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.
