Full Review: 2020 Lexus UX 200 on Everyman Driver

quotes.everyma... - Get matched in seconds with the right vehicle, at the right price and at the right dealer.
The Lexus UX is a compact SUV for those looking to buy their first luxury car. Its exterior styling makes it look expensive, as does the interior. Rich trims with bold color options create quite a first impression. It's a great option for singles or couples who want a more premium option without breaking their budget. Front-seat passengers have plenty of room to get comfortable, but the rear seats are cramped. There's a choice of a gas engine with front-wheel drive only or a hybrid engine with all-wheel drive only. Neither is overly powerful. They have enough oomph to get this compact SUV up to speed but are not aggressive or especially engaging. What the UX lacks in performance, it makes up for with a long list of standard safety features, a modern infotainment system, and competitive pricing for a luxury SUV.
Competitors include the Volvo XC40, which is similarly priced, but has fewer trim-level options. The BMW X1 is more expensive, but offers better performance.
PROS: Competitively priced. Strong list of standard features. Hybrid model delivers exceptional fuel economy.
CONS: Cramped rear seats. Lackluster acceleration. Lack of touchscreen makes infotainment system hard to use.
The Lexus UX is the entry-level SUV in the Lexus lineup. It has a beautifully appointed interior and elegant styling, plenty of standard features, and a hybrid option. The rear seats are tight, however, and overall performance is modest.

We’ve had our UX 200 for about 17 months now and we love it. It’s not perfect but it’s fantastic for our needs. I’ve had a 2015 is350 f sport, 2018 RX hybrid f sport, the 2019 UX, and now a 2020 Es 350. The ES and UX are my favorites so far. UX is pretty slow but enough power if you learn how to accelerate just right and it’s actually fun to drive!

[@normt5463]

Sounds like it is underpowered!

[@justdreaminvlog]

Norm T yeah it’s not quick by any means lol but we’ve gotten used to it

[@j0404t]

Why was the UX your favorite? Curious

[@normt430]

[@jamievidd775]

I'm sure it's a blast to drive......not. What a joke. Overpriced and underpowered.

[@cmc8601]

You're the best reviewer. Perfect amount of information. Trouble is, you make me want to buy every vehicle you show!

[@michaelfosnaught2238]

One big advantage over its competitors is reliability. I’ve owned 2 bmws and I’ll never own one again😂

[@SergCarReviews]

Hey mate, if you enjoy Lexus reviews I have a few of them, including the new UXe (as well as driving it from 100% to 0%). If you have time to watch it I would love to hear your thoughts :)

[@shmser8401]

I like it. It would be a nice upgrade from my Scion iM that would still fit my lifestyle perfectly while being a little more premium. Gonna wait a few years though since my iM is doing the job just fine. Btw nice modeling at the end!

[@Big.W.]

It’s pretty much the successor to the CT200h, and the UX250h has standard AWD.

[@swinglow33]

I'm turned off by the navigation pad right of the gear selector. Seems like a lot of space wasted. They should make the screen touch only and re-think the center console.

[@garyjohnson8120]

Agreed. I bought an NX a couple of years ago with that haptic pad and got rid of it after a year. It was just impossible to use unless you were completely stopped. And I loved the NX. I would have thought Lexus would have gotten rid of this by now. I am anticipating the announcement of the revamped IS on June 15th because I would like to make that my next car, but if that touchpad is still there, I will pass it by.

[@davidjym]

It's got the looks outside, but a bit small inside ..............

[@michaengie]

10x agree! i’m very turned off by the interior size. the exterior makes it look spacious inside but it’s not. :P

[@davidwolf226]

As a long time Lexus owner, this little SUV is quite nice. I have to agree about the infotainment issues that you mentioned. However, you do get used to it rather quickly. I've never understood why the Lexus engineers are so slow in upgrading their infotainment systems since the Toyota engineers have already done so. Weird... not a deal-breaker for me, obviously, but still weird.

[@normt5463]

You must have had one as a loaner.

[@jeejay98]

This is no longer and SUV/CUV. Wagons are coming back.

[@thegoodman3810]

its better than the Audi Q3, BMW X3

[@matthewgaines10]

So basically the powertrain and ground clearance makes this a hot hatch without the hot. Definitely worth passing up based the features and value offered. The infotainment controls are big cluster IMO. This is a terrible value for the money. I understand why it doesn't sell.

[@normt5463]

A hot mess for sure!

[@jamievidd775]

169hp, CVT.......saved me 14 minutes.

[@turbojobo]

I used to think the same but as i owned bmw/audi now i want reliability and gas saving not power and problems

[@mistertee5000]

Why don't they just call this what it is? It's a hatchback. I"ve had enough! The industry has gone too far with this crossover bullshit.

[@bcrogsnc]

Nice. But looks like it could a future Subaru Crosstrek.

[@medellon]

Do low end models from luxury brands sell well? It appears that they do not, yet manufacturers still insist on making them.

The Lexus UX always catches my eye out on the freeway. But I don't see very many of them. Buyers must be letting their wallets do the numbers on the options list - and buying elsewhere.

I prefer the small screen

In$ane price at any level. Look at a 2020 Santa Fe SEL way more vehicle less money..

[@DrBenz63]

That’s where it looses. “Santa Fe” lol

[@rampar77]

Most 200 sell for over $37,000. Who the hell wanted to buy a $40K Lexus that went 0-60 at 9 seconds and had limited space? They would be better off with a Honda

[@Name-ts4fy]

Nice review Dave. From your review I can definitely rule this little overpriced SUV out of anything that I would buy.

[@darrelpeters]

Great video. Not surprised this cars isn’t selling well. It’s too pricey for what it is. Red line reviews reviewed the same car last year I made a comment that from the side and back this looks just like an upgraded Hyundai Kona and Lexus would have a hard time selling these. Why not just buy a limited Hyundai Kona and save the 10 grand 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@Big.W.]

The UX is a much higher quality car.

[@user-tb7rn1il3q]

Darrel Peters My RAV4 AWD LE is a much nicer car for a lot less $$$.

Buick Encore outsells this in spades!

Where is Seltos?

[@davidparkin9017]

Put the key fob in your pants pocket and forget about it like everyone else. The UX 200 would have been better off with the CAMRY's 8 speed automatic.

[@apaulmuller503]

When reviewing a Lexus, you need to point out the HUGE, front grill as some like it, some hate it. I hate it! I just purchased a 2020 Honda Passport Elite for the same MSRP as this over-priced Lexus. And it comes with a V6!

[@normt5463]

Sorry... The Passport along with Acura RDX and MDX have lost their recommended status with Consumer Reports. "The Passport two-row midsized SUV is an all-new model based on the three-row Pilot SUV. However, members told us that their Passports suffered from climate system problems, including refrigerant leaks and the AC compressor not working properly. The similar Pilot did not have these problems. When reached via email, a Honda spokeswoman told us that “a countermeasure to address the climate system problems was applied to vehicles beginning in June, and a service bulletin was issued in August. Passport owners experiencing problems with their climate system should contact their authorized Honda dealer as soon as possible to have the vehicle inspected.”"

[@kurtgrundel4045]

Very disappointing. Mazda CX30 looks better to me and features the same game with a load more power.

[@BlazeIDP]

Just did a review on that and was great. Check it out

[@thundergato84]

@Randy Jackson Mazda is not in the same league as Mitsubishi. You do realize Toyota owns a small stake in Mazda. Both also have a joint venture plant in Alabama.

[@soxx11111]

A lot of money for a vehicle with so many faults

[@Tojazzer]

No AWD. See ya! Gone at 02:01

[@a.j.patron9214]

Lol $35K+ for a Corolla engine???? GTFOH

[@elijahuduoje3527]

Nice look but not a fan of lexus and Toyota but good review though

[@normt5463]

For good reason TMC is that as good as it used to be.

[@simonstegel]

I have driven it when shopping for a new car. I did not like it. It is noisy, it does not drive well, it has high loading in the back, it is not cheap for what it offers, the biggest drawback is the infotainment. I actually like the colors but to navigate with it through menus....good luck

[@normt5463]

Versailles reflect your opinion to the T.

[@mgrella63]

Nice car but the color is hideous

[@e70_x5_guy4]

I’m not a fan of the Brown. It looks good in white but for some reason I like the Orange even tho I generally don’t like orange
