Lexus UX 250h (2018-present) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Striking styling stands out in a crowd	Poor infotainment system is fiddly to use
Easy-driving hybrid system	The boot is on the small side for a car of this size
Brilliant customer service from Lexus dealers	Cramped back seats

Quick Summary

The Lexus UX (2018-present) is a compact SUV that offers a distinct alternative to mainstream rivals, standing out with its striking styling and plentiful creases. It’s powered by a 2.0-litre petrol-electric hybrid system, delivering 181bhp with a focus on urban use. While it provides a comfortable ride and good body control, particularly on 17-inch wheels, its infotainment system, operated by a fiddly touchpad, is a significant drawback.

Space is somewhat compromised, with the boot offering only 320 litres and cramped rear seats, making it less practical than some rivals. However, the hybrid system is seamlessly integrated and economical, often achieving over 50mpg, making it an easy-going and quiet drive in urban settings. Lexus's renowned customer service and reliability add to its appeal as a unique, economical, and comfortable option for those seeking a premium compact crossover.

Best for: Drivers seeking distinctive styling, an economical and comfortable urban hybrid, excellent customer service, and reliable ownership, or those wanting a premium alternative to German brands.

Not ideal for: Buyers prioritising generous boot space, spacious rear seats, or an intuitive, modern infotainment system, or those who need a car for frequent long-distance family travel.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the UX if: You're drawn to its unique styling, prioritise a comfortable and economical urban hybrid experience, value exceptional customer service and reliability, or seek a premium alternative to traditional German rivals.

Consider alternatives if: You require ample boot space or generous rear passenger room, desire a highly intuitive and modern infotainment system, or frequently travel with a full complement of passengers and luggage.

Competitive Position: The Lexus UX (2018-present) carves out a distinctive niche in the compact SUV segment with its bold design and refined hybrid powertrain. While it faces stiff competition from established German rivals like the Audi Q3, BMW X1, and Mercedes-Benz GLA, the UX differentiates itself with its focus on comfort, fuel efficiency, and Lexus's renowned reliability and customer service. Its main compromises are infotainment usability and interior space, but for buyers prioritising style, a smooth hybrid drive, and a premium alternative, it remains a compelling choice.
