2021 Lexus UX 250h AWD on Everyman Driver

The Lexus UX is a compact SUV for those looking to buy their first luxury car. Its exterior styling makes it look expensive, as does the interior. Rich trims with bold color options create quite a first impression. It's a great option for singles or couples who want a more premium option without breaking their budget. Front-seat passengers have plenty of room to get comfortable, but the rear seats are cramped. There's a choice of a gas engine with front-wheel drive only or a hybrid engine with all-wheel drive only. Neither is overly powerful. They have enough oomph to get this compact SUV up to speed but are not aggressive or especially engaging. What the UX lacks in performance, it makes up for with a long list of standard safety features, a modern infotainment system, and competitive pricing for a luxury SUV.

Competitors include the Volvo XC40, which is similarly priced, but has fewer trim-level options. The BMW X1 is more expensive, but offers better performance.

PROS: Competitively priced. Strong list of standard features. Hybrid model delivers exceptional fuel economy.

CONS: Cramped rear seats. Lackluster acceleration. Lack of touchscreen makes infotainment system hard to use.

The Lexus UX is the entry-level SUV in the Lexus lineup. It has a beautifully appointed interior and elegant styling, plenty of standard features, and a hybrid option. The rear seats are tight, however, and overall performance is modest.

I recently bought this exact car in ultra white and I have to say...I love it. I was concerned about the size and power at first, but have had no complaints with it so far. I do not need a huge SUV so the size for me is perfect. I love the smooth quiet drive, and the interior quality is impeccable. I have been averaging 45.2 mpg around town. I am very happy with my 250h and would highly recommend it. The Lexus dealership was also great to work with. FYI....the infotainment is NOT finicky, it just takes getting use to it. ;)

I currently own a fuel efficient sports car. But I now really want one of these and I'm not rich. Time to save for used future market
