I do a like a Lexus. The UX doesn’t try to be something it isn’t. A BMW X1 is so hung up being a sports car it missed the point of being a comfy daily driver. The UX is meant to be a car driven for comfort. It’s totally relaxed and chilled out.
That’s true. Lexus doesn’t compromise on being sporty. I would get this over an X1 but I’d rather have a torque converter than a CVT and also if they allow larger wheels as an option. I feel like with the soft dampers it would be alright with 20’ wheels and it will fill out those square wheel arches
@@Adamlllllllllllljjjljljjjjj the CVT isn’t that intrusive tbh and in the long run it’s more reliable. In terms of the wheels that a matter of choice but for a daily driver I’d always opt for the smaller size for additional comfort, plus your tiers won’t cost as much when you need to change them.
Very good and informative review. Really conveyed what the car is like to drive. These are coming up at some very good prices used now, making them very tempting. lots of good spec
At the start when he mentions the high revving intrusive nature of the engine, its normal for any CVT including this ECVT. Engine revs increase as CVT catches up then once you have got up to whatever speed you wish to do, the revs will drop. Its a constant up and down as its only a fixed single gear. I prefer these to manual or standard auto boxes. Im not keen on feeling gear changes. CVT are not for everyone but once you get used to how they are designed to work, they are a very nice experience. The road isnt a race track so for mature drivers who can actually drive, its perfect.
CVT is Infinitely variable transmission in comparison if you try to make a manual gearbox like it would be several hundred gears. Bit difficult to drive .I do not like the driving experience of a CVT the majority of them are not a good gearbox The exception to the rule is the Toyota CVT which is A very different design to everybody else CVT so therefore they need to be avoided in other makes. I think the manufacturers are making CVT transmissions due to the fact they are cheap To make.
I owned a brand new Premium Sport on a 22 plate. I didn’t like it as much as my X2. The CVT gearbox is raucous when you accelerate and the infotainment system was dire, although I believe they have updated it. The boot is just too small and servicing costs are astronomical!
I didn't find the seating position that great, it is better than other cars but the seat is quite hard and i don't know what is happening with all the newer cars, all feel to sporty, your ass it is like in a bucket.
Forget the track pad and use voice control from the button on the steering wheel. The P711 transmission is great. Smooth and quiet using all its 181 BHP to rapid effect. Reversing camera wideness is adjustable. 53 MPG is easy to achieve. The reviewer is not very competent.
@@oddities-whatnot Me neither, I had a 320i which fucked its timing chain, I should of done more research as its a common thing on them apparently, I would never buy a German car ever again, there's a reason why they're at the bottom half of every reliability list, I now own a IS300h, not as "fun" but way comfier and reliable and IMO looks better.

Different vehicles for different driving values.
@@InteriorDesignAndersonhappy w my NX. Amazing car.
Is the UX droney on the freeways? Might get this as my 2nd car
Just bought one with Apple car play/Android auto.. there are now absolutely no faults with these cars. They are brilliant!
May I ask if you get the F Sport version? I am replacing my Audi in March 2025
@monocle8868 I did indeed.
@@LynGriffiths70 Thank you 🙏🏻 🙏🏻
This one is on my list, cracking car. I also enjoyed your review of the CT200, which stands up very well against this newer model.
More Lexus’s please.

I love to see a review of a Lexus ls 600h😊
Excellent 👍

What’s do you mean by astronomical? Never paid more than 200 bucks for servicing my NX 300h and 350 for the LC 500.
@@ac3arcadia the first service was £285 and the second £515!
@@mccockers that it is expensive, it is just 2.0 l
I have a Rav4 2.5 hybrid and the mpg improves in town driving when electric is used more
Nice review..
can you test drive 2017 Audi S3 2.0L TFSI Black Edition Quattro Auto when you post 3 month ago please test drive it
How fast from 0-100 km? 8 seconds? 9 second? Thank you.
He said at one point, 8.5 sec. which not to bad, quicker than the is 300 h

I’ve drove 2024 model brilliant car,,,, my other half is getting one ,, but it’s not ready yet, so
They give us a loan car,,,
Nice car to drive, but the boot it is a joke, with 340 L it is smaller that the CT 200H.

Still prefer the x1 but it is nice
I wouldnt buy a BMW for long term ownership.

watching people driving on the wrong side makes me sick...😂🤣🙃
Boot far to small and road noise is terrible
Way too low down to be classed an SUV
Fortunately :-)
