Find your perfect UX

The Lexus UX is an interesting alternative to established premium family SUVs, with distinctive looks and a very efficient hybrid system. However, it's only the promise of good fuel economy, cheap company car tax and Lexus's excellent reliability that appeal. The driving experience is so-so, and practicality is poor for a family SUV. As a result, it's impossible to recommend it over a Volvo XC40.

Takumi trim is focused on luxury, and is equipped with a Mark Levinson sound system, a 360-degree reversing camera, ventilated front seats, a head-up display and driving position memory (for both steering wheel and seat adjustment). It’s very well equipped, but it’s too expensive to recommend.

Lexus has added a more powerful 300h hybrid system to the UX line-up, with an uprated battery and electric motor. It produces 196bhp, which means it can go from 0-62mph in 8.1sec. That’s marginally quicker than the 250h, but the extra power is more noticeable as you pull away from a standstill. It also offers stronger acceleration at high speeds.
