This is what What Car is all about, no fuss, no gimmicks, just high quality, informative, well produced and presented video. Great review, great car.

Dimensions are in fact very similar to Audi Q2 except for wheelbase which is 20mm less. People buy Lexus for built quality, customer service and reliability. If you wish to own/lease a car that is likely to be unreliable in the long run then by all means get a VW/Audi/Evoque/Merc etc :) If you appreciate peerless reliability, low depreciation and easy resale after 10 years then get a Lexus and purchase it with cash!

Putting the button functions in the head up display is actually really clever as it keeps your eyes on the road while you find the right button. And since they’re physical buttons, you don’t accidentally trigger them. Capacitive technology used to actually improve the experience instead of a distracting gimmick.

A nice detailed review as always. I like the vehicle a lot. Many buyers simply like a well finished, quality product so I don’t get the dressed up Toyota argument. Toyotas are mechanically sound, so no worries there.

A very welcome increase on the interior and boot space available in the UX. Not really a family car, but perfect for a couple

BRILLIANT car! Smart looking and comfy. I will be buying one 😍

I want the Morizo edition with the 1.6L G16E engine.

Very good first reviews in the Netherlands, build and fit and finish real Lexus.

Excellent review, thank you. I'm tempted, but what is it like for long distance cruising? I have a Toyota Touring Sports, which is superb about town, but very disappointing on the motorway, especially because of road noise.

It is good news that in the new interior design, there is no trace of the monitor above the dashboard. The top of the dashboard should be empty and the monitor should fit inside the dashboard.

I like it. I rarely have more than 2 in the car and rarely use the boot for more than groceries, so I'm less concerned by the practicality and ore about whether i like the look and feel, this looks nice (to my eyes).and the quality looks good. Also, when compared to an EV, the cost is good, you lose range amxiety too 😅

[jdmguy]

Very appealing indeed. I intend to give this thing a closer look when I can. Great job Lexus 👍

[KeliK]

I agree with the verdict and I like it. Great review and awesome video editing!

[TissaMadawela]

Wonderful video. Well made and pleasantly presented. Well done. Compared with Honda Civic 2024 Saloon which gives a better value please ? Thank you.

Had a 2020 RAV4 hybrid, comfy but terrible bouncy handling/road hybrid but just couldn't get over that bulbous feeling,
That's coming from my old Lexus GS300 sublime but 20 years old.
Bought a 2023 Toyota corolla hybrid estate with the mk 5 hybrid system.
What a transformation, super economy, outstanding road control, terrific suspension damping and exceedingly when heavy on the go peddle.
Totally chuffed with this purchase!!!??!
Don't believe that that Lexus especially on space or price and the Toyota corolla quality is top
Can fit 4 adults, luggage and a dog in here, in comfort and it doesn't drive any different than when only 2 in it

Excellent review and filming, as usual!

[theophinfranclin]

Very nice review with detailed explanations and different prices showed with many additional features. Good job 👍🏽. Now this is my dream car 🚗 ❤️

What an impressive vehicle! Lexus has truly excelled in designing cars that maneuver smoothly through small streets and tight spaces. Renowned globally for its top-tier luxury, Lexus has embarked on an incredible journey, achieving numerous awards and accolades over the decades.

Hello there. Which bi tone color combination do you think goes better with the LBX? Sitting on the fence between sonic white (pearl) with black roof or the sonic copper with the black roof. What do you think? This is highly appreciated. Btw your review was excellent!
