I worked on one of these a couple months back, and yeah. It’s SMALL inside. Even with the seat all the way back I could barely fit behind the wheel. And for its weight, it weighs around the same as my 2016 Mazda cx5 which gives me more legroom and shoulder room. I’m glad Mazda got Toyotas hybrid system so my next car will be the cx50 hybrid whenever my cx5 dies.
Sofyan, They remembered to 'swap in' the more powerful Prius powertrain but they forgot to swap in the longer wheelbase that comes with the Prius. 🤨 If you have over $40K to spend on a luxurious product from Toyota Motor Corporation, a spacious Crown Signia is a much better value.
Honestly Toyota interiors are nice enough now where I doubt anyone would choose the “nicer” version. This is the only model in the lineup that I don’t think makes any sense.
This luxury SUV has some issues. It doesn't have full LED turn signals, hood struts, or remote start, and it only has 196 horsepower. I think it should have at least 250 horsepower. Even a Dodge Hornet has better features. Also, it could be higher off the ground to compete with the Volvo XC40, BMW X1, Mercedes GLA, and Audi Q3. At least this has ventilated seats unlike its rivals
@@jngobngo my point is that since the fuel tank is so small, a shopper can’t drive as far as they think they could since it’s a hybrid. Fuel tank size is often something people don’t pay attention to. They just look at fuel economy estimates.
@@seannguyen593 Of course I do. I just have heard a few people complain about their vehicle “going through gas quick” or “getting bad gas mileage” when in reality, the fuel tank is just small. Fuel range and gas mileage aren’t the same but some people think they are.
OMG; get the Corolla Cross XSE, and add in the sound system and adaptive headlights. Use the $$ you save to go have some fun! Unless you need a fancier interior....? You will have the same amount of power, a higher ground clearance, more legroom in the driver's seat, etc, etc.
I'll take my 2024 Audi Q3 over this upgraded UX anytime when talking luxury comparable vehicles... Same pricing, more HP, no run flat tires, spare tire, real leather, full led lights, much more space overall, fits 4 adults, better ground clearance, etc. Yeah its not a hybrid but I'm getting 32mpg on the highway which is good enough to not have to deal, maintenance wise, with a hybrid system, electric motors, etc
I don't like those fenders even though I love the vehicle concept overall. I know it's silly, but I would wait for a touched-up redesign of this great vehicle. You know those fenders won't be around long!!
price and MPG is too close to NX350h. problem with latest LEXUS is cost cutting everywhere. interior is really a let down in UX and overall cheaper "looking" compared to NX which I ended up buying. UX has pretty good discounts if one must have a Lexus.
The driver/passsenger compartment is SO intrusive, which makes the car feel extra tight. If they moved it a couple inches forward, that would really open things up.
When the Mazda CX-30 & CX-5 give you LED turn signals for less $ on certain trims than the base Lexus UX & NX, you know that Lexus is cost-cutting there
Not even certain trims. Every single new Mazda CX-30 and CX-5 (even the base models) come with full LED head, tail, brake, reverse lights, and turn signals.
No LED turn signals?🥴 cmon Lexus.. even the Corolla hatchback has standard led turn signals. And has been that way since 2019. Also where are the power folding mirrors?
It has the Prius/Corolla Cross drivetrain DNA baked into the vehicle plus $10K in luxury upgrades. Good luck getting one at MSRP in Canada as they are in short supply $$$$
The review is good, the car is not. If you want Toyota for the reliability, hybrid drivetrain etc. ... just buy a Toyota. You'll get more power and practicality with a Prius, Venza etc. Or, why wouldn't you get a Crown over this? If they want the UX to compete in the luxury segment against the XC40, GLA or Q3... yeah, good luck with that.
Won’t happen. They’ll probably discontinue this as Lexus just doesn’t know how to compete They’re so far behind to the point where they can punch air and redesign this 500,000 times over and over and still fail to compete with the current competition
Do the seats sit as low as a sedan, or are they a bit higher like a compact SUV? I need one I don’t have to climb up in to, but also don’t have to get out like I’m doing a squat at the gym??
I see a lot of them on the road in SoCal so it does have a market. Remember the Lexus 200h? It was a little five door hatch? I still see lots of those and I think many people weren’t pleased with they were discontinued. That’s who this car is for.
Oddly enough, although it feels the most like Toyota, some of the door paneling clips are sturdier in my friends than in the RX. So it’s odd because the materials are Toyota but the build is less like Toyota than its higher priced mother.
SO Hatchbacks aren't allowed tinted windows because of the EPA classification? What? My '23 NX 350h is considered a Wagon on the registration Not an SUV and it has tinted windows..
I ll take my residual trade in value anyday on the UX verses any others mentioned. There is more storage bins in the rear and the hold button under the EV button is great it enables you to sit at a light and take foot off the break .The hold button is fantadtic .
@@BillySamKidry so based on your logic a rav4 is objectively superior in just about every way to a cx5 cx50 gv70 RDX because it outsells them. But does that mean the rav4s prettier, more luxurious, nicer materials, better tech, more feature rich, roomier, more practical, more powerful, faster, more fun to drive, more comfortable to ride in, quieter, more refined, etc? No it doesn’t.
Why y'all review people don't compare acura and lexus to their real competitors smh but y'all compare all the mainstream vehicles to toyota and Honda y'all be soo bias
35K plus hybird around 40K but if you get blazer its where the compare， rav4 hybrid save gas but cost about 5K～6K extra which you chioce if you have less money get the 4～5 seat suv like buick envista with no extra feature. Or a Trailblazer for none turbo charging
45k Lexus and it doesn't have a led turn signal 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣, my supra is 10k more and its a BMW sports car with full led headlights and tailights, like what ? 10k less for basically a Corolla cross ? 🤦 SUVs are a ripoff
It's a BMW made Supra sports car which cost $10k more and is completely different from an entry level car made for young (Lexus)buyers. Supra should have LEDs 😂 The UX does have LEDs in the rear tho.

Put an S before UX and you’ll see what’s wrong with it. It flat out SUX. It’s the Mitsubishi mirage of the segment where you just can’t give credit where it’s due. In just about every way it falls way behind the competition. But by all means go ahead and try to make your pathetic “naveens a Toyota hater” excuses. They just won’t work The upcoming ADX will objectively discontinue the UX.
Any Lexus vehicle without LED turn signals I think is wrong, it’s luxury it should be standard!
eh, i could say the same about the cars that stupidly use the brake lights as turn signals instead of a dedicated bulb
Agreed, especially since the Prius has full LED lighting.
Lexus removed them after 2023 unfortunately
What about acura rdx?
@@kevij371that’s a different story as the RDX is more fun to drive to the point where you’ll forget about not having leds
