After 8 months of driving in a variety of situations, my UX 250 h gets 42.2 mpg. It rides and handles beautifully. It is comfy and looks sharp too.

I have 43 mpg in the city, can't be happier. The exterior looks sharp and sporty, the interior is luxury, there are bunch of technology I have everything I need. The ride is so smooth and comfortable. I love the compact size, it's a perfect car for a single person or a couple. Absolutely love it.

I live close to a Lexus dealer and have looked at this model on two occasions, but, the salespersons on staff always say this model is underpowered and you should look at NX300.
@indie81893 жыл бұрын
@@stedye Yes, the next level up is NX, but for a single woman, UX is perfect. If I have a family, I'd have chosen NX too. Since I mainly drive in the city, the power is more than enough. Even on highway, it has no problem to speed up to 70, 80. But for a family the interior is too small.

It’s a subcompact based on interior volume, however the EPA actually classifies it as a compact for their purposes.
