2019 / 2020 Lexus UX 250h Hybrid | Thrifty, But Not Terribly Swift 

Despite the re-badging haters, Alex nailed it. This car is a pragmatic and needed inclusion. Until the Tesla this year, the RX 350 was the best selling luxury car in America. Lexus expects this car to outsell even the RX. For someone who wants a RELIABLE and sensible small luxury car with great mileage (rather than a buzzy tin box), this luxury entry was a long time coming. It’s a Lexus in every regard. Lexus has a reputation for NEVER rebadging but instead truly differentiating above the Toyota’s. This car will be a sales hit; that’s pretty much the bottom line. And don’t hate a car for an economical engine or a small back seat, just buy a car that suits your purpose. This platform is a Toyota CH-R with a Corolla drivetrain. This car is for Corolla Hatch people who choose to pay for a Lexus. Not a bad idea when Corolla’s sell in the millions.

I drive Lexus for 21 years. I got their first RX in 1998. IS, ES followed. Two weeks ago a bought UX 250H AWD Luxury. I love this car even more than previous models. It feels like it was made with me in mind. Not too long (like ES), not too small. Very comfortable, quiet, fuel efficient, reliable just to mention a few. Two seconds slower in acceleration from 0 to 60 m/h could mean something on the race track but not on the streets of Chicago. I'm very happy with my purchase. Ohhh.....forgot to mention that none of my cars EVER failed me.... zero problems! On the other hand this car was designed for a woman. 90% buyers are women. This nice review is done by the man from the man's perspective and I get it 😉, and thank you Alex.

Who else but Alex would do his review in the pouring rain! That’s dedication! Lol

I absolutely LOVE my Lexus UX 250h. I love it every moment I drive it. In fact, the relative (and I emphasize "relative") lack of "aggressive" acceleration (it's plenty aggressive for me!) reminds me in a more existential way that it's the journey that matters, not the destination. When I get to work (in a mostly down hill trek, catching green lights) and the MPG is 51...yeah, I LOVE this car. Most times, it's over 40. That's pretty darn OK with me too!

I actually think this looks really cool, but it’s hard to justify the cost when a new RAV4 hybrid is just around the corner. It might make more sense in a couple years when you can by a used one at a much lower cost.

All the European models you mentioned have a terrible long term track record for reliability and extremely high repair costs.

BMW reliability? VOLVO'S resale value? AUDI'S turbos? Really... I see the point here about the UX

If I am shopping for a Lexus, my decision is based on the legendary reliability of the Lexus brand, so I'm not particularly interested in "competitors." This model interests me because of the incredible fuel mileage and small footprint and I will gladly trade swiftness for those attributes. I love this channel, Alex is one of the best.

Whats funny is all those competitors to the Lexus will die waaaaay before that Lexus has any issues 🤣🤣💀

wow..real passion for his job...respect

Alex is a true professional conducting this review in the rain and not missing a beat. Someone buy this man a drink and out it on my freaking tab!!

Thumbs up for giving us such a great review even in the pouring rain! This is why your channel is my favorite when it comes to car reviews !

Thats what i call dedication. I never seen any car reviewers literary reviewing car in the rain. Keep it up alex. Best car review channel period

Thanks for putting up with the weather to bring us another great review Alex.

You are the best car reviewer.

Great review as always Alex. You’re a boss for filming in that weather!

i always appreciate your choice of appropriate song for each review you do. "slowly" was the perfect song for this car

You have just completed the single most thoughtful, thorough and "REAL" reviews from a drivers perspective that I've seen on this vehicle. Wow, you're spot on. I LOVE THE UX, and seeing this color, guess what. It's what I'm now going to buy. I just subscribed. You're a professional, not just a good job, but you're easy to listen to and watch. Thanks!! Lexus should give you my commission.

Hey Alex, thanks for the plug about those Frankenstein knobs...I made the same comment on another Lexus review you did. Next up: cyclops instrument panel, lol.

You’re a no-limits soldier. Respect. Great review!
