Here's How Lexus RUINED The UX Model! The Unfortunate Truth!

In this video I share with you how Lexus ruined the 2023 Lexus UX with it's most recent update.

Lexus started the update of the UX well by making it hybrid only. Then things went down hill from there especially with the F Sport Model not having 2 trims one just a jarring F Sport and the other a specialized Handling Package which makes absolutely no sense in a sensible quiet small luxury hatchback hybrid.

Lexus can make decent sports cars like the LFA, the LC500 and the F Line cars. But the F sport trim continues to ruin very nice cars making them very jarring to drive and not sporty or well handling at all and the updated 2023 Lexus UX is just another one to be added to this list.

Why do people complain about a small vehicle not having much space? If you want more space, buy a larger vehicle.

[makotohanazawa]

right on spot. i know a lady owner of a 2019 ux hybrid. people that buy this model dont need anything crazy with sporty look or functionality they just want a small, easily manoeuvrable while luxurious car.

I own a 2021 FSport2 model in Canada - best car I've ever had! With regards to the run-flat tires-first thing I did was to buy all-weather Hankook Kinergy tires and put them on the factory rims. Living in Central Ontario, we get some bad weather like you do in Chicago. Now I have great tires that are much quieter that I can run all year round!
I have just over 35, 000km on it, have had 2 oil changes since I bought it in Aug/21, and my lifetime fuel average is 6.0 l/100km.
Keep up the great videos!!

For something like a hybrid, it makes sense to use a Nickel Metal Hydride battery, hybrids don’t need large batteries so the weight disadvantage of NiMH won’t be that noticeable.

The other advantage of NiMH is longer life cycles and better cold weather performance.

The roof crossbars also create drag, increasing fuel consumption.

[Salehqesh]

Nice one. Thanks for sharing what you know and what you have put your efforts to update. Thanks

[tommyhsu]

you are absolutely correct! I wouldn't look at Lexus hybrid if I am searching for a high performance hot hatch. Instead of F-Sports trim, they should come up with the ultra-luxury trim which offer things like 360 camera, dash cam sentry mode, massage ventilated seats etc.

Thank you for another great review and honest opinion on this F Type!
Thank You!!

[christianacosta]

Love the content. That fake sound with the fake shifts is absurd. The back seat is also a non-starter. Anyhow, great review. Keep up the great work.

[gregnote]

Thank you for being candid. No other reviewers mentioned run flat tires.

Hey my name is Terry, I just bought my first Toyota a 2005 Toyota avalon w/ 294k...and I must say I'm very thankful to find your channel. I plan on putting alot of work into the car!! I've had quite a few different brand of cars and so far the Toyota is by far my favorite car I've ever had. I don't know much about working on cars but I'm learning...Toyota isn't the easiest to work on but luckily I have u and your channel...keep it up!!!

I was somewhat disappointed with Lexus and Toyota at the Chicago Auto Show this year. The thing I love about my 12 year old Camry is the comfort. I always expect comfort and especially luxury + comfort with Lexus, but it seems to me Toyota/Lexus thinks that everyone wants "sporty" these days. I don't need my Toyota/Lexus to be sporty.

[lootenint_dan]

the production quality of your guys' videos are increasing exponentially. It is quite remarkable, Very Good Job to the whole CCN team

[justincutler]

Great video, love the production quality and care to detail. Thanks!

[Mr.DisAppointed-SC]

Just discovered your channel, very nice. I bought the base model of this car for a commuter on New Years Eve. My commute is 92 miles each way, and I am averaging 35 to 38 MPG. I own three other Toyota products currently including a 1996 Crown Majesta i4V8. I look forward to watching more.

Being a Lexus and Toyota fan I can’t tell you how much I appreciate your opinions and videos, thank you for your service that is technical and sensible 👍👍👍👍

I just want to say as an owner, I love mine. I don’t like the new changes tbh. Touchscreen is not necessary since I think touch pad is fine. The new ones do not have the Lexus clock which to me is a classy thing to have in a luxury car. The control on the front armrest is so brilliant and easy to use. That is probably another feature that shouldn’t be removed and they should expand the design to all their cars. Also, I don’t like the painted fenders. I don’t know why people want them painted so badly. The painted ones will get chipped, dinged and scratched so easily. The black plastic is great. I can buy products to restore them back to original condition easily. Painted fender will not be able too. As for the RF tires, they are loud but they are not that unreliable. Mines still got lots of treads after 2.5 years use. I think UX is quite advanced built. A lot of aluminum use (hood, fenders, doors). It means it won’t corrode in long run. Oh yes. It is small but you know it when you buy it. Lol. I fit 4 average size adults perfectly. As a driver, I tend to sit upright and closer to the steering wheel, so my driver side passenger at the back doesn’t complain about space issues. For sure, if you guys are 5’11” +, this will not be a good car for you. Just like the corolla hatch, it is small too ( same platform).

[panfistach]

new infotainment system is nice, but honestly dashboard before facelifting looks much much better and I agree with You- controls in front of the armrest was brilliant, i had UX250h with it and i really miss it in my BMW 6GT... The question is... where is sweet analog clock? 🥺 Anyway UX is still the best compact car for calm drivers with suspension comfort worthy of being in a higher class (in non-Fsport version and without runflat especially) and even though it is no longer there I highly recommend it

[cadacabezaesunmundo]

Thanks for your review and for sharing your honest, professional, and informative comments.
I want to keep my 2017 Hilander V6 until the government says that I cannot use a gas car anymore. I have been learning from you to do maintenance.

Love our 2020 UX. Flawless for 32k. The only negative is the run flats. I still have about 5k left. But they are harsher riding than conventionals. Next, I put some All Season Cooper (US made) tires on it.
