Lexus UX 2019 review: Compact, But Luxurious

[@nickhayesreviews]

Very nice car, I really like the look of it and that interior looks lovely. I'll have to take a test drive when I get the time.

[@chasingcars]

You should!

[@garryhopkins]

Thanks for a very useful video. In fact just ordered a 250h in Sports Luxury with the ochre/cognac trim. Shopped it against the 2020 Mercedes GLA 250 but overall the hybrid Lexus was better for us. The Benz was surprisingly noisy on acceleration.

[@kubanskiloewe]

i drove one for 3 days and it was only the non Hybrid version as here in the video. superb ride and suspension ! great dampening and very quiet, good steering too. best quality inside much better than Toyota. But the engine+10speed auto did not work very good together,imho. I would definately go with the Hybrid AWD version while i own a RX450H

[@aw4610]

What an amazing channel.

[@chasingcars]

Too kind!

[@JonLucy_downunder]

I envy the brown interior. I own a red UX with black leather with red trims on the f sport

[@BryanChance]

I think this generation of the NX and UX design is much better than the new ones, especially how the infotainment screen is integrated into the dash.

[@pablosabhlok]

And also please review the Suzuki Vitara Allgrip

[@raghavshankara5601]

Hi Tom, Can you please review Lexus Rx 350 if u get a chance?

[@bobfrombrisbane1831]

Hmm I really like it but not sure why I would buy this over a RAV4? Why did they go for the tracking pad rather than a rotary dial or something else baffles me. Nice Video Tom.

[@chasingcars]

I’d say the UX has a couple of advantages - badge (if you care about that - I don’t), and plushness of the interior (the Lexus seats are nice and soft, and the ride is about equal). That said, obviously the RAV4 has massive practicality advantages, and a better hybrid option - the 160kW system is better than the UX’s 130kW version.

[@LamNguyen-nl8en]

Looks ok. Basically RAV4 mechanical twin. Touch pad is a disaster and the volume buttons seem like after thought as theyre in such a weird place. Only positive aspect is reliability but that you can get from a new RAV4.

[@cl6107]

Looks so much better than a RAV4

[@chasingcars]

Size-wise, more like a C-HR or Corolla however, though all these cars ride on the Toyota TNGA platform.

[@jonw7544]

Hi Tom, just wanted to ask what sizes are your Away suitcases? Medium and bigger carry on or large? Thanks!

[@pablosabhlok]

Can you please review the Chery J1? Its Australia's cheapest brand new car and I want to know what you think.

[@chasingcars]

I will look into it.

[@drewllewellyn]

those lights are something are like but what about that back window ? looks quite small and hard to see out while looking through the rear view mirror ...

[@joshkroenke7693]

Why is there no parcel shelf..? Very strange 🤔

[@malcolmscott4150]

Interior very nice but Corolla on stilts appearance with plastic wheel arches look low rent - much prefer the BMW X2 with turbo diesel

[@laidnassira4962]

Wow ...first time I like a japanese car ..good work..👍👍👍👌👌👌..and the first time I see camera man .hhhhhhh

[@chasingcars]

Haha, you caught it!

[@guysolomon7904]

This car is so nearly a good looking car to me, but the square plastic wheel arches and some of the design elements end up making it look a bit of a mess... The CHR is better looking car imo, although the interior is pretty good save for the 1984 steering wheel Lexus continues to use and is hideous xD

[@bobfrombrisbane1831]

Guy Solomon many have the plastic unfortunately. Seems to be the styling car manufacturers think people want in a SUV.

[@mellenix]

3:40 Hello Mr. Camera Man

[@chasingcars]

Good pickup 😂

[@ashalim79]

This or the Mercedes Benz GLA?

[@alexger85]

Difficult...atm this bc the Merc is getting on a bit and about to be replaced

[@ashalim79]

@@alexger85 which is why i'm considering it, hoping the previous plate year model will drop in price once the new one is out or the dealer demos will become more available. Or thinking of just waiting for mazda cx-30 to come out...all the bells and whistles without the luxury brand.

[@alexger85]

@@ashalim79 There also is the Infinity QX30 which is a GLA with a slightly different body. But this one might alreday be out of production

[@laidnassira4962]

This

[@chasingcars]

The outgoing GLA250 is alright, but otherwise, the UX Sports Luxury

[@manyu6]

Only 360p 😕

[@chasingcars]

Just give it a few minutes - should be available in 1080p now.

[@kelvpoon]

Spare wheel?

[@SergCarReviews]

On the 2021 models onwards, repair kit for the Luxury grade, RFT for FSport and Sport Luxury

[@nathansmith1365]

Can you do a review of a ford focus sport?

[@raghavshankara5601]

Why 360 pixel video?

[@chasingcars]

Give it a few minutes - 1080p always takes 5-10 minutes to ‘show up’ after processing.

[@aw4610]

[@stevej2825]

So technically, it’s same as C-HR.

[@bigchief2331]

Peugeot 3008 GT kills this car on value and interior

[@bobfrombrisbane1831]

Big Chief that might be true but unfortunately Peugeot are on life support here in Australia.

[@bigchief2331]

@@bobfrombrisbane1831 Peugeot are getting ready to enter the USA market within the next year or two, I think the 3008 and 5008 are going to be the cars which turn the company around in AU/USA. Peugeots from the last 10 years have for the most part been excellent, they have always been known for exceptional engineering but those pervasive issues in the 90's damaged their reputation. But as far as drive experience and comfort they beat all the Japanese cars, and interior quality has taken a quantum leap with the 308, 3008 and 5008. Resale may not be ideal but it's the same with any European car, I wouldn't have a hesitation purchasing one of these in Australia, its much more interesting than a generic Mazda/Toyota/Hyundai which just feels like an appliance. They have invested a lot of time and money in improving quality, style and durability of their vehicles. Peugeot isn't going anywhere, this is just the beginning.

[@worrywart1311]

@@bobfrombrisbane1831 More like it died and has returned as a zombie.

[@bobfrombrisbane1831]

Big Chief Hey Big Chief, which Peugeot do you drive? I like the look of the 3008. I don’t have anything against Peugeot I was just saying with the number of cars they sell at the moment it may not be economic and viable for them to stay here in Australia. I believe they are selling less than a 100 cars a month. I hope they do experience a sales resurgence here in Australia, but it won’t be easy.

[@bigchief2331]

@@bobfrombrisbane1831 Just a 2015 308, but it's a lovely car and I bought it for a steal. I don't think Peugeot are going anywhere in Australia, they are commited to sales growth and are very keen to make deals with their new models. They don't have many dealerships and it seems they don't have any budget for advertising either, that is why they are failing. If they can invest a bit in these areas I think they have a strong future.

[@l4ndz3r]

the front design looks like a dress

[@scottchin3582]

If a Lexus has a CVT then it doesn't qualify as a luxury vehicle! I will go to a Mazda CX5 4WD 2.5 turbo instead! CVT just means a shxt box!!

[@worrywart1311]

Completely disagree re CVT - I like it.

[@SergCarReviews]

@@worrywart1311 I think it makes the car smoother. It’s very refined. I’ve made a video on it if you’re interested :)

[@snoopy13946]

Square plastic wheel arches are so awful, so ugly , it’s a big NO. Just awful, no other words.

[@chasingcars]

Yeah, the design isn’t for everybody - but I am noticing a few out on the roads.

[@snoopy13946]

Chasing Cars The entire Japanese design team needs to go back to design school.

[@stevenagy88]

Looks truly awful.

[@worrywart1311]

Two years later it looks practically elegant against the new Sportage and Tucson.
