    I bought one two days ago, a Nori green 250h with Carmel color seats. Couple of additional things learned: the back seat headrests fold forward to more easily allow the seats backs to fold, however, keeping them down also has, to me, a greater benefit by considerably increasing the view out the rear window, for both rear view mirror use and for turning around to look while backing up. 2. Oddly enough I had been considering buying a sports car (either an Audi TT or a Porsche) but ended up buying this car. Now of course the UX won't handle quite as well as either of those two for sure, but its size and seat comfort along with the quality of materials is very sports car-like, and it handles just fine, so for me it's a sports car with a whole lot more room. And it gets fantastic mileage, costs quite a bit less, and will no doubt be considerably more reliable and cheaper to maintain. Plus, for me, its higher (but not too high) seat level means it's a lot easier to get in and out of than any of the typically low sports cars no matter which one you consider. It may seem strange to compare it with the sports car segment but for me the comparison works; and therefore any discussion of it being a too small SUV is neutralized by virtue of it being a quite large sports car! It's also quite a bit quieter to drive than either of the above mentioned, which will make longer trips much more pleasant; I like listening to music and you don't have to play it extra loud in order to override air or road noise. I've owned over 70 cars and I can say that this UX is the closest vehicle I've found to be an all-in-one car as has ever been made. Like Kirk, I too love efficiency, and to get that along with sportiness, luxury, quietness and comfort is a pretty decent package.

At first I was apprehensive about the touch pad but quickly got used to the pad. This is my first luxury car and I will definitely keep in the Lexus family. :)

    I have the atomic silver and the Carmel color seats. The UX 250 h is a very sharp car, and it handles and rides smoothly. My MPG overall, considering a variety of driving scenarios, is 41.3. There is enough power, but the efficiency and comfort are top features for this addition to the Lexus lineup.

    I am in Australia and have had my UX250h for a few months now. It’s a great car, although I do have some reservations about the use of a CVT. I am 187cm/6ft 1.5” tall and have always had problems with rear headroom in cars with a panoramic sunroof. However, the lack of a sunroof in the rear of the UX has allowed the designers to sculpt out the headlining to increase head room. I can sit there quite comfortably. I was amazed when I sat in the rear seat in the showroom. Also you are absolutely correct about the silent transition from EV mode to petrol/gas engine. I actually reconfigured the HUD to display a tachometer so I could see if the engine was on or off. Very good job Lexus.

    • @kubanskiloewe

    But the hybrid brakes on the electric generator and comes to a full stop on the pads. The NiMh battery is under the rear seat. The boot has a wheel well partially filled with car stuff and then two trays and the boot floor. Lots of wasted space which could have been used to lower the boot floor.

    That model you driving is actually a base hybrid model which starts around $36,000. The slot of buttons you was wondering are for upgrades. Such as Heated Steering Wheel, (ASC)Active Sound Control, Wiper De-Icer. Those features will have the buttons located there. The Price you mentioned is for Luxury Package model which will basically have everything. Also the first thing you will notice is the 10.3in navigation display screen on luxury packages only standard OR if one was custom built to have it installed.

    The IS300h also has a really nice hybrid system, almost imperceptible transition from EV->ICE, super smooth, good power and great fuel economy! Also way more fun to drive than the UX, just a shame they don't sell it in the US. They definitely messed up a bit though with the new ES300h, too under-powered, not sure why it's so slow when the RAV4 has almost the same hybrid setup and is much faster, I mean how can an SUV be faster than a sedan with the same propulsion system... They should've beefed up the electric motor there just like they've done for the new highlander.

      LOVE THE CAR, nothing like a Lexus/Toyota hybrid (I've had 2).

Go to one of your dealers and establish a good relationship with one of the people who your maintenance/repairs or the salesman if your buying a car and when you come back they'll hook you up.

    Why does Lexus make it so hard to find the triple beam LEDs? I' ve looked at the RX and NX and its hard to find. They seem to not focus on that important feature that we all need as we get older: Better Headlights!! Even Tesla offers them as standard on all their offerings. The other thing, also related to safety, is that Lexus offers different tires on the same vehicle, typically Michelin and Yokohama and the the Yokahamas suck.
