This is built in Japan in one of the best auto shops of all time. This car is built in the same plant with the same standards as 100k plus cars. Great buy if you ask me
As a former Lexus owner - I love when you and Zack review Lexus vehicle. It actually great to watch the review of this UX cause my mother might buy a Lexus UX or NX after her lease on the Mercedes Benz ends.
My wife owns the UX 250h AWDe “luxury package” she loves it, we’re empty nesters. Here are a few facts about this vehicle. -the first gear on the CVT it’s an actual mechanical gear. - it is not an SUV, you can call it anything you want but this vehicle is a hatchback. - even tho this car is a hybrid it’s not a slow car. It can stay quite close behind a “fast”vehicle. -you can fold down the rear seats for extra cargo space and leave it that way since only 2 people are going to be riding in the car most of the time if not all of the time. -the rear electric motor helps to accelerate the vehicle from stand point. -it’s loaded with enough technology to keep you confused that many people are never going to use to it’s fullest. My wife being one of them.
I agree with you about it being a hatchback. I own a 2017 Mazda3 hatchback and the dimensions of this UX struck me as being very similar. I'm guessing the Mazda probably has more trunk space though.
The UX250 h hybrid power train uses an E - CVT transmission, this is the epicyclip cvt set up & it doesn't have a mechanical launch gear. The new NON hybrid Toyota CVT transmission is the one that has the mechanical launch gear.
I got one after seeing this review. Thanks for your thorough and honest look at the UX. Love the trackpad and love driving a Lexus for the reliability.
I got a call from the dealer that said one of these just came up, and I'll test drive it tomorrow. I found this video pretty helpful, and I expect the test drive to go well, even if it's a little quirky and something you'll need to get used to. I'll find out soon!
I would disagree with their description of the cargo area. I went from an RX to a UX Hybrid, and even though the initial presentation of the cargo area seems tiny, there's a multi-level storage system underneath, along with intelligently laid out cubbies on either side. Plus, this is the only Lexus where the seats lay perfectly flat, and it's extremely easy to plop them down - even from the rear. I have been extremely pleased with the usability of the space.
Hello you two ! after checking your test drive on the RAV 4 and UX , i went to do a road test on both ,and i just ordered a UX 2022, coming oct 25 they say , i am looking for fuel ecomy ,reliability and a feel of luxury that Lexus is able to deliver with the UX at a reasonable price i will get the 2022 premium for $43310 . But i will keep watching your good work on RUclips , your opinion is an influence on my car choices , keep it up ! great reviews, Andre from Quebec
@@MrMustangrick highway im doing 7.2 liters per 100km , city 5.6 liters per 100km , with studed tires im guessing i will do better with summer tires in the spring , sorry dont know how to get mpg
When ever buying/leasing a car, always find out the cost of maintenance, insurance, and fueling. There are comments on here about the Tucson but I am betting with the maintenance and insurance costs, you may do better with the UX, with resale value, and how well it holds up.
Was going to buy one, but there are no hitch available to put a bike carrier. Bought a Mazda CX30 which was cheaper and really well and luxurious equipped!
You guys are awesome seriously you deserve more subscribers, but I've been watching the statistics and you guys are climbing up there quick, love watching you guys always thanks
I have watched other reviews of this suv, and all have said that it has a small trunk, but you have to realize that it is a small suv. If it was a large or mid size suv and it had a trunk space like the UX then you can say it is small. just my opinion, with a small suv you will get everything a bit smaller.
Great review as usual. I think the closet competition, when it comes to execution and size, is the Mazda CX-30. While Mazda's infotainment is aged, it doesn't feel as annoying as Lexus system. Its refreshing to see a press car which is a base model, reflecting what most people are going to get.
This reminds me of my CT200H….hmmm here in America they stopped selling them in 2017 but kept selling them everywhere else which is a bummer. But I do like this model. 👍🏽👍🏽
I agree with you on the big screens. I love technology, but I think it is being overdone. I want to buy a 911 or M3 and keep it for 10+ years. I am worried how all this technology will look or age in 10 years. I love a classic analog watch, I like my cars the same.
in the cheapest version you get only manual seats :-) But since i drove one of these for 3 days i like it very very much ! The suspension is so well done and the steering is also nice. It corners very well ! like it
@@felixli5279 yeah i was complaing about these cheap seats here in europeee...buyers walk immediately away from a LExus when search for seat adjustment buttons and get a plastic lever :-)
@@kubanskiloewe 1) i would be extremely surprised if a power seat option is not available not just for the UX but every model in the Lexus Europe lineup.... 2) power seat not being standard on the base UX in European market is most likely done for the same reason why the same feature is also NOT standard on rival models in the same class such as X2, GLA, Q2/Q3, XC40, etc.
So buyers in EU "walk immediately away from a LExus when search for seat adjustment buttons and get a plastic lever...." and then walk towards the base model of a rival also without such feature as standard but miraculously not a problem any more? Come on, apple against apple please instead of the logic of apple against caviar.....
For those you say it is under power, u probably didn’t drive it. Lol. It is preppy and zippy. It has enough power. As for gas consumption, it actually gets better than reported. City is around 5.4 L per 100 km and highway can get to 5.2 L per 100 km. As gas price gets higher, hybrid will be better choice. Also for the touchpad, you can get used to it for sure.
Similar experience here re our UXh. We routinely got 5.0-5.3L/100km city during summer. The official 5.7L/100km city leans more towards our winter driving when snow tires are on and avg outside temp is -10 ~ -15c with the heater often at the high setting. IMHO, this is insane city fuel economy when every competitor in the same luxury subcompact segment is officially rated at nearly double the fuel burn of the UXh(Their power output is no where near double of the UXh though...). Though we find the highway consumption is consistently dead on at the official 6.2L/100km rating. I can attest this little crossover is specifically optimized for urban stop n go traffic where its hybrid system makes the biggest gain in fuel burn savings.
Hopefully I will be ready to this winter to discuss for the purchase of the 2023 refresh in time for summer 2023 arrival. I dont like the touchpad so I was really looking forward to them updating to the new touchscreen for 2023MY.
i would change from runflat to normal tires. In over 30 years of driving i only had 1 occasion when a tire lost pressure and even than i was able to drive to a gas station and fill it up and drive to a tire shop.
Hey guy. Excellent report as usual. I agree with Zack : it looks ugly. But in Europe, they sell like hell because of taxes. Salut from "hot" Champagne region (30°).
I would go with a lexus because I trust toyota way more than any of the euro competition, not to mention it beats them in features and mpg easy choice!!
I have 2021 Venza i find it big. it's just me. Im looking into 2024 ux250h or corolla cross? I do lots of city driving. I did put in order for prius but its 2 years away, im thinking of getting deposit back. I do want hybrid. Thank you Andrea and Zack you guys are fantastic 👏. What would you recommend?
Guys, There is always a click sound from somewhere back/rear seat when I turn on car or I am turning off the car. The dealer said its battery fan click. is it normal?
ahh..the glidepath of life...why do I keep calling Mayday..Mayday..lol...ok..so was trying to make sense of this...and the Toyota model its based off of...and cannot make the case,would go a step up and get the Venza...enough luxury and looks alot better...keep up the great work..always enjoy watching the reviews...all the best
I am considering selling my RX350 to buy newer version of UX250h only because I don't need a big suv anymore. Plus RX350 gas mileage is sucks. How is car seat with UX250h?
Its true, lexus packages and add ons are like mercedes. Ridiculously expensive for the options most people would want. Even a BMW and Audi is cheaper in terms of options.
I have recently taken a liking to the UX and I was considering getting one. My only gripe is that the numbers make it look underpowered. Is this okay enough to make it to highway speeds in time after a stop sign?
More precisely, vancouver west side(not west vancouver though) near/around UBC and the hedges belong to the houses/mansions of the ultra upscale neighborhood west of UBC.
I love my Hyundai Elantra Sport GT hatch, but the dealers have been HORRIBLE! Coming from Lexus where you always have a loaner & the service techs DO actually remember to perform the service is a HUGE difference in ownership experience. I can't say enough warnings about Hyundai dealers!
@@FourJaysFour That is why I stay with Lexus. The local Hyundai (Genesis? lol) dealership is way down market. When I visit my Lexus dealer (only once a year BTW) I am treated like a guest, large complex for customers including free food and drinks, a reading room, a dark "nap" room. Car is returned clean inside and out with a hand wash. Oh and it never breaks down. Lexus for life....LOL.
that touchpad is one of the things that keeps me from looking at lexus vehicles. That is tech that does not belong in a vehicle weighing thousands of pounds that is moving.
I thought I hated the touchpad and wanted a touch screen, but then I changed my mind cuz I dont have to inch forward to use the touchscreen. It takes time to get used to tho.

Hi Andrea and Zack. I have a question. Do you agree the push on EV cars? I have only UK data. Do you have Canada's data? If UK wants to reach 2050 goal to all EV cars, they need to produce just under two times the annual world COBALD production, nearly the entire world's production of NEODYMIUM, three-quarters of the world's LITHIUM productions, and at least half of the world's copper production. That's a hell of a lot of energy that's going to be required for batteries, that might last more than a decade. And that is just one country. Where the rest of the country will get those materials? The cost to recycle a LITHIUM batteries three times the cost of the battery it self. Should the auto industry invest more to the HYDROGINE cars? I am not an environmental activist, I just asking these questions, it seems to me will be a hell of the impact on our children environment. Thank you. Frank.
Thanks for the review. I agree it's a quarky looking suv. I have been driving Lexus for last 18yrs, different models, loved them all but Lexus needs to get away from that sharp edge lines, pointy lights and come back to smooth finish looking vehicle i.e Q5, GV80, etc.
Hi Andrea - nice review; with you on that trackpad (like everyone else), but NEVER going to buy any beautiful, tech-rich Audi vs any Lexus. Why are used Audi's rather inexpensive - they're maintenance hogs.
Run flat tires.... The Automotive world indication that they built the car so small you cannot fit a spare tire in it. Unless you live in Vancouver run flat tires are a disaster in the prairies and eastern Canada. They are so noisy and rock hard they almost knock your teeth out. All three sets were gone of my Mini Coopers at 20,000 KM they don't last and at $100-150 extra a tire they are not worth it. I carry a Tire plug kit and a compressor in all three cars!!!! Most tire shops will tell you if you have to replace a run flat it's a special order. So you end up stuck in the middle of nowhere waiting for a tire to be shipped to the shop.
So, they started with a good looking Toyota, the CHR, and created an Aztec competetor. And then made it even uglier than the Aztec by fitting with black rims. You are right, only an empty nestor with weak vision would buy it.
You can pick up a 2019 for around $30,000 with under 10,000 miles. I wouldn't say thats overpriced at all. It always a bad idea to buy completely new. 30,000 is a new mazda 3 hatchback, a new civic hatchback at the highest trims. I would take this car at that price over a mazda or honda any day of the week,
@@Gabbagool345 You would be better off with a Mazda CX-30 than a used UX. You can get the price down on a UX with a used one, but the powertrain is still really lackluster. Not sure why you compare the UX to two hatchback cars.
@@boomlightsout Have you driven the Mazda? Powertrain is far more important than folks give it credit for. I can put a seat cover on an ugly seat, but changing the engine is far harder.
I love how your guys' very differing opinions highlight opposite--but positive--alternative views on the same car features 👏🏽
Keep up the great work!

Toyota make good cars, but they're no oil painting, they really need to work on their aesthetics
Maybe it goes down well back in Japan, who knows. But to me it looks like a 2010 sneaker made a baby with a 2000 Nokia phone. :^/
It's a "Lexus" !!! It should come standard with power lift gate and a heated steering wheel.
I agree with the heated steering wheel, but the car is way too small to have a power lift gate
@Motormouth can we get a comparison video between the Lexus UX hybrid & the Lexus NX hybrid? Thanks.
Hate to sound like such a Venza fanboy, but wouldn't a base model Venza be a better choice than this?

The review was okay but it left out stuff that's important to me --- safety. Is there blind spot monitoring? rear collision alert? etc

You mentioned Audi Q3. That is a great car, but will break down more and will cost much, much more to repair. Lease a Q3 and buy a UX/NX.

Hi Andrea and Zack.
I have a question. Do you agree the push on EV cars? I have only UK data. Do you have Canada's data? If UK wants to reach 2050 goal to all EV cars, they need to produce just under two times the annual world COBALD production, nearly the entire world's production of NEODYMIUM, three-quarters of the world's LITHIUM productions, and at least half of the world's copper production. That's a hell of a lot of energy that's going to be required for batteries, that might last more than a decade. And that is just one country. Where the rest of the country will get those materials? The cost to recycle a LITHIUM batteries three times the cost of the battery it self. Should the auto industry invest more to the HYDROGINE cars? I am not an environmental activist, I just asking these questions, it seems to me will be a hell of the impact on our children environment. Thank you.
Frank.
The bulging tail lights mess up the overall appearance. They should be more rounded. Its not a Subaru.
It would be better in black because it would tone down all the angles
Andrea is 100% right re: Lexus interior. “It works” can’t be a valid argument; pay phones work, too.
Let Andrea speak and respect her opinion ☺️

Zack -- sometimes bigger IS better. I don't see you being happy with a 15" monitor in your office or a 32" TV in your living room.
True
Oh so true, you should see the size of our TV.
The X1, GLA are not as reliable as any Lexus.
Agree with Zach, it's ugly, but disagree with Zach, the grille is not good.
Hi Andrea - nice review; with you on that trackpad (like everyone else), but NEVER going to buy any beautiful, tech-rich Audi vs any Lexus. Why are used Audi's rather inexpensive - they're maintenance hogs.
Can they make it uglier? Yes, they can, it's a luxury Toyota.
I wish every car had the option to order without power lift gate, they are useless.
Run flat tires.... The Automotive world indication that they built the car so small you cannot fit a spare tire in it. Unless you live in Vancouver run flat tires are a disaster in the prairies and eastern Canada. They are so noisy and rock hard they almost knock your teeth out. All three sets were gone of my Mini Coopers at 20,000 KM they don't last and at $100-150 extra a tire they are not worth it. I carry a Tire plug kit and a compressor in all three cars!!!! Most tire shops will tell you if you have to replace a run flat it's a special order. So you end up stuck in the middle of nowhere waiting for a tire to be shipped to the shop.
It's just Toyota with different badge 😛
That's like saying a Porsche is just a VW with a different badge which is technically true re the Cayenne vs Touareg.
Its not that small!! It's not a Mini for Pete's sake!
Sure get an Audi, all the tech toys and all the maintenance costs that come with it. Reliability over performance, get a Lexus.
after over 20 year sof AUDI/VW here in germany i switched to a 10 year old Lexus Hybrid..... i better had switched years earlier !!!
Why doesn’t the Lexus light up blue when it’s hybrid ? Do you have to pay extra for that ?? I hate the mouse pad ! So not functional …
LEXUS Leveling Exotic Xenons Utilizing Strategies
Nope, according to Toyota HQ back in the 80s when their luxury division was in planning stage, LEXUS brandname stands for Luxury EXport for the US.

So, they started with a good looking Toyota, the CHR, and created an Aztec competetor.
And then made it even uglier than the Aztec by fitting with black rims.
You are right, only an empty nestor with weak vision would buy it.
The UX is way overpriced, and way underpowered. Classic Lexus resting on their reputation, and not bringing its A game.
You can pick up a 2019 for around $30,000 with under 10,000 miles. I wouldn't say thats overpriced at all. It always a bad idea to buy completely new. 30,000 is a new mazda 3 hatchback, a new civic hatchback at the highest trims. I would take this car at that price over a mazda or honda any day of the week,
@@Gabbagool345 You would be better off with a Mazda CX-30 than a used UX. You can get the price down on a UX with a used one, but the powertrain is still really lackluster. Not sure why you compare the UX to two hatchback cars.
@@digitaldoc100 powertrain isnt everything. The level of refinement is apples to oranges compared to the mazda
@@boomlightsout Have you driven the Mazda? Powertrain is far more important than folks give it credit for. I can put a seat cover on an ugly seat, but changing the engine is far harder.
