Purchased my wife a CPO UX 250h premium model last year with only 8k miles for 34k out the door. It’s a great reliable little vehicle that checks all the boxes for her.
One of my pet peeves is when people harp on the lack of cargo space on small vehicles. That is kinda the point compared to the larger SUVs. Not all of us want to drive a large vehicle around every day, especially if it’s usually just one or two people in a car. Let us have nice small cars!!!
I like to think of the UX as a glorified Corolla Cross. If they stuck the GR Corolla engine in the UX, it’d make it infinitely more exciting, but then again we’re talking about a small crossover. I’d much rather go for a base model Lexus IS, if I were looking to get into a Lexus.
going for a base model IS is basically a downgrade, current IS is still on the last gen rear drive platform vs. TNGA which UX is based, the infotainment is from last gen on the Lexus IS, and if you go for base IS u get the 2L turbo which is still slow. UX even though everyone class it as a crossover but really, it is a hatchback and yes is based on corolla hatch. this is a facelift, so new UX coming soon. Lexus already stuck at GR Corolla/Yaris engine in one their product, it's called the LBX Morizo RR
When you buy a lexus is for reliability and save the pump you don't buy a Mercedes or BMW better materials interior i owned a 2009 matrix2.4 a lot of auto journalists complaining about cheap hard plastic but since 2009 the cheap hard plastic still looking good i owned since 2009 zero problems only tires brake changes that is it thanks for sharing your video take care bye from milton Ontario Canada 🇨🇦
50k is comfortable ES money which is a way more subtantial car. Heck that's lower end NX money if you want to stay CUV. Looks good though. Being a Toyota/ Lex, would be a great 3 year old off lease car to pick up.
Great review - Jen, you (and Mary) are such a great addition to TFL! My take on this car is largely the same as you guys',...in addition to its intrinsic limitations (size, etc), it needs a bit of help in the luxe department. Lexus, like the Toyota-brand of its parent corp seems to be struggling these past couple (?) of years in that department - resting on its laurels. That rear cargo does look compromised (high floor contributing) and related lift-over looks excessive, maybe due to battery? You did not mention, but since the UX's larger cousin, NX's roof doesn't open, I assume this one doesn't either - another demerit. On the brighter side, speaking of "ux," the user interface for the infotainment and HVAC controls etc, looks excellent. Although I am a blue person, I am more conservative with colors and am with Mary on this particular shade, but also agree with Jen that at least it's a break from the usual gray, silver, black, white, etc.
It’s interesting to get the female perspective on a new vehicle in this very nice review. The guys review it and see how fast he can get to 60 miles an hour as that is everything allegedly to every buyer. Also does the Mercedes or BMW Competitive base SUV models offer the same or even similar MPG?
Seems fair enough to me. Your opinion matters. So, if you say something else like the X1 or the GLA might be a better deal for the $, I would go with that. I think it becomes a brand consideration at this point then. If you like Lexus over the competition, it is more than reasonable to stick with this brand in this class. IF you are cross shopping for something with a more aggressive driving dynamic, the X1. If you want a more luxury oriented feel for you and your passengers, the GLA. Seems like a fair assessment to me.
Yes, girls. The car is incredibly boring. Blends in with everything else on the road. It’s not ugly, but it doesn’t stand out. As the interior is pure Toyota. But the beautiful ladies inside the car, are top-notch. Very pretty. I’ll watch more videos if they’re going to be in them.
I'm not feeling this vehicle at all. Bland, monochromatic interior. Useless back seats as the legroom is awful and the headroom lacking. Add to those negatives a small trunk, no spare tire, and a price tag of about $50k and it's an easy pass. Very much a "meh" vehicle.
This is a Toyota ladies. I don’t see anything “Lexusy” in this car except the badge and the price. Grossly overpriced. By saying this is OK you are enabling the predatory practices of the automakers. Quit doing that! It is bull…
Nope it isn’t. Put the letter “S” before the word UX and you’ll see exactly what’s wrong with it It flat out SUX. It’s on the same level as a Mitsubishi Mirage

Thanks Jen and Mary! I've driven the previous generation UX 250h and liked it. Great city car for single professional.
Glad you liked it!
The BMW and Mercedes may be nice for another 3yrs on a lease, but if you want to own it long-term Lexus all day long.
I'd call it more of a luxury hatchback than an SUV. And for the price I think it's a great buy.
Thanks ladies
Please mention about the new hybrid power train. Biggest advantage of this vehicle. Hybrid power train is standard in UX.

No it wouldn’t. It would still be slow

My wife owns one. It's an awesome hatchback. In my opinion, it's only worth it if one gets it under $35k.

It's nice to see a women's perspective on cars!😊😊
$50k 😳 At that price, I’m switching gears and test driving the Explorer ST
This thing is hardly an SUV. More of a hatchback.

I could not imagine getting this over an ES350h for basically the same price.
In Europe thats a company car, because no one buys the UX. Expensive and Small.
Great review ladies !!
Thanks for watching
It costs $50k and only the front seats are usable. What a great car!

GOOD 👍👍👍 LEXUS TWO BEAUTIFUL WOMAN 💋💋💋 WOMAN ❤️❤️❤️🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😢😢😢😢
I need a pinched grille belt buckle
Great review! Not a huge fan of the car though! Cheers Kirk
Sounds like an episode of the view

No one wants a “German touring car” anymore. Will probably sell about the same as other Lexis sedans ~5000 a year.
These 2 work only when they are with Kase and Tommy. Calling it an SUV….
YES
Camry is better
This is a Toyota ladies. I don’t see anything “Lexusy” in this car except the badge and the price. Grossly overpriced. By saying this is OK you are enabling the predatory practices of the automakers. Quit doing that! It is bull…
@@drnick40 well Lexus and Toyota don’t even know how to compete. They’re struggling to stay relevant
This is a very boring vehicle for the price.
Boryota and Lettuce will last a very long time.
Not much to look at@
Nope it isn’t.
Put the letter “S” before the word UX and you’ll see exactly what’s wrong with it
It flat out SUX. It’s on the same level as a Mitsubishi Mirage
❤❤❤
This thing is not a SUV
no. it is just an ugly design.
Unsubscribed.
Go kick rocks buddy nobody cares.
I’ll bet they don’t care.
Nobody cares.
This isn’t an airport, you don’t have to announce your departure.
