Lexus UX Car Review 2019 - Is it unique in the crowded segment?

[@OsvUkVehicleSupply]

Would you consider a Lexus UX?

[@MartinHannett_]

OSV Yes

[@dmann7941]

considering one right now lol

[@YvesEnBart]

Bought one

[@kubanskiloewe]

@@YvesEnBart drove one; great suspension and handling !!! BUT it had the wrong engine; the 2.0 without Hybrid and that´s a NoGo. Perhaps the UX 300electric is the best choice of them !

[@swampgrampus]

It needs the 2.5l hybrid system. I do not want to go back to an underpowered car. Otherwise I like the vehicle.

[@jasonalpha]

I feel your making the same mistake many auto reviewers make in putting most emphasis on performance .. the majority of people will never be interested in these things.. comfort and reliability are far more important to the majority of buyers.

[@OsvUkVehicleSupply]

Thanks for the helpful feedback, Jason. We'll take this on-board for future reviews 👍

[@problemslayer3538]

I don't think it was an 'emphasis' it was merely information that the channel decided to include. That said, the depth of the reviews this channel provides is clearly leading the KZbin pack, especially in comparison to carwows Matt who just blabs on about bottles and door bins.

[@peterphillips9324]

Probably the most comprehensive report that's available on the UX 250.Especially the car comparison which was extremely informative. Brilliant job, well done

[@OsvUkVehicleSupply]

That's great to hear, Peter. Many thanks for watching!

[@House_Of_Cards_]

There is basically no competition from any western manufacturer for the UX. Lexus is light years ahead of any German manufacturer in the fields of quality control, reliability and hybrid technology. The fact that people in Europe don't buy Toyota or Lexus is just a cultural thing. They rather pay tens of thousands of euros for fixing their BMWs, Mercedes and Volvos after the warranty expires.

[@theneone111]

If you're serious about buying a car, the reviews from this channel are simply more relevant, detailed and therefore useful. Thanks for another good review.

Just bought one! looked at Discovery Sport (poor reliability) Alfa Stelvio ( appalling reviews on dealerships-come on Alfa, what are you doing?) Volvo XC40 (nice but expensive). The whole experience at the dealership in Leeds was fantastic. An absolute class apart. Already have a SC430 which I have traded in as I want to go "greener". What a car the UX is-oozes quality. Will be a keeper for me. For the complete car buying experience get down to a Lexus dealer. Even if you don't end up buying one you will be treated like royalty.

[@OsvUkVehicleSupply]

That's great to hear, Jim. Enjoy your new car!

[@xmaniac99]

Stelvio and Giulia are both wonderful driver's car, quality seems to be great to (considering the reputation), but those dealerships are killing the brand. Unfortunately that means I am also driving a Toyota and a Lexus as opposed to an Alfa Romeo -- which pains my heart.

[@phil8437]

Love these cars. The attention to detail is exceptional. I don't believe you get the same level of customer support and reliability from any other brand. If you were spending your own cash, Lexus is by far the best overall brand in the luxury car segment.

[@OsvUkVehicleSupply]

Glad you like Lexus as much as we do, Phil!

[@Parso77]

Very fair review. Too many reviewers are all-critical or indeed all-glowing.

[@CarlSmith-bs4qx]

Very professional review, puts other 'leading' trusted reviewers to shame.

[@tonyajones8655]

Excellent review

[@mobiusklein9140]

Mine is on order for August, test drove the car yesterday and was absolutely blown away. Test drove a CT a few weeks back and that was fabulous too but as they are discontinuing that model, very few are available.

[@OsvUkVehicleSupply]

That's great news, we hope you enjoy your new car! What made you choose the Lexus UX?

[@mobiusklein9140]

@@OsvUkVehicleSupply IMHO, the best car available for my budget, Very quiet, very economical, environmentally friendly and a dash/instrument panel that is superior to the new Mercedes 'A' class (my current car circa 2017).

[@OsvUkVehicleSupply]

@@mobiusklein9140 That's great to hear. Thank you for watching!

[@dazsid100]

Great car. Love Lexus

[@fivish]

You dont need to use the track pad as just about everything is available by speech recognition. Just press the button on the steering wheel to activate. The eco dial can be changed for a permanent rev counter. 151 BHP petrol engine + 30 BHP electric motor. 53 MPG. Its great!

[@jsz2619]

I like how this guy makes the illusion of multi camera recording. Ha-ha.

[@alnam1194]

Good review. Very informative. Sounds like watching a soccer match.

[@jimmese252]

We bought it, we love it!

[@OsvUkVehicleSupply]

Fantastic news, Jim! What do you love most about your UX?

[@GFI888]

Watching from the US. Although not everything applies, I enjoyed your review. I've owned two RX's but want to downsize. I might consider a UX though it now costs what I paid for a 2015 RX, which are now in the 50-60k range.

[@oddities-whatnot]

Ive had a CVT Subaru Outback and you do need to understand how the CVT is designed to operate to get the best out of them. I like CVTs for the smoothness, I never needed to floor the accelerator to make good progress, its all about matching revs to engine speed. This Lexus looks a great car.

[@LunaDaSavage]

This is the "To infinity and beyond" review 😂👍🏻

[@JackiePrime]

After watching this review I know this car better than I know myself

[@betitos11]

The Lexus will run at least three times longer than any of those competitors mentioned 🤣🤣🤣

[@SuperDirtyFrank]

I assume the e-cvt in the Lexus is the same as in the Toyota. If it is then it doesn't have a belt. It's a series of planetary gears.

[@oddities-whatnot]

Yes, correct. This reviewer as good as he is at this, seems to get confused about the mechanics of these CVTs. The ECVT works so much better than a belt driven setup, although im a fan of both.

[@apolitis1]

If you consider the reliability aspect it’s a no brainer compared to its European counterparts

[@OsvUkVehicleSupply]

Lexus is definitely up there when it comes to reliability.

[@dmann7941]

Amazing review! Are the paddle shifters for the regenerative breaking? every other review says they are to manually shift gears. Or do threy somehow do both? because i currently drive a Honda CRV and the paddels shifters help manually control/operate the regenerative breaking. is UX same in this sense? even somebody at the lexus dealership told me UX f sport paddle shifters are for changing gears. You are the only review who say this about paddle shifters and i hope its true? great job again so much detail

[@kubanskiloewe]

i drive a Lexus RX450h and i use manually downshifting only on steep downhill area when my heavy ship needs more braking in the long run. So this is very usefull for better braking and higher recuperation !!

[@WilliamTECH1991]

Belt driven automatic transmission?! Where??

[@ricardokim544]

Lexus ux Diésel is the best.

[@MartinHannett_]

Compares to an Audi Q3 and not a Q2, why?

[@kubanskiloewe]

indeed yes ! i drove that UX and its more the size of a Q2 and compared to this the UX is far better !

@ekim andersom enough for me, enough for many others......90% of the drive times trunks are empty , lol

[@nickyfoulkes8476]

What is it with Toyota/Lexus with no android auto or apple car play or door bins.

[@rayaanshaikh5830]

EU Licensing issues which have now been resolved - android auto and apple carplay will be available via software update within 6 months

[@scotiajinker8392]

We had a Lexus ct200 from new , got rid of it after 3yrs, the ctv did my head in

[@WicherBos]

Why? I am driving cvt for over twenty years, and fully happy...

[@scotiajinker8392]

Wicher Bos no guts in the engine to over take , you put your foot down & you get more noise than acceleration. Also it was a totally uncomfortable car

[@rayaanshaikh5830]

@@scotiajinker8392 Why buy a CT200h then? Should have got an IS - sounds like a case of not test driving a vehicle before buying than anything wrong with the actual product

[@MartinHannett_]

Scotia Jinker...did you even bother to research this car then? It makes use of a gear and CVT to eliminate the effect you’re talking about.

[@scotiajinker8392]

Rayaan Shaikh we drove the car around for an hour or so on a test drive, but living with the car was a different story. It was my wife’s run around car.

[@richardlionheart3965]

Please, please, please, please, please - stop saying "belt driven" eCVT - it is not, never has been and never will be belt driven. This is not a Daf Daffodil from the 1960s. A planetary gearbox sat between 2 electric motors, not hard to understand or say.

[@jeffreygreen7686]

Why oh why do you reviewers always moan about how difficult it is to use the infotainment system? It’s so easy. Just use voice commands! Say -“bbc radio 2”, “turn up volume” and on the satnav just say “take me to Cheltenham” and it sets up the route. Please try it and upgrade your review. accordingly. .

[@ricardokim544]

I don't want HYBRID.

[@hectorheath9742]

Which? says, counter to your description, that the emissions of the UX are 'worrying'.

[@Cityoftrees1911]

Thats a very popular model though, UX is a niche vehicle thats collecting dust in dealer lots.

[@swanblake]

If by Unique you mean underpowered, no utility, slow, CVT whine, fake awd, and the worst user interface in the industry, yes its very "unique".

[@patrickhay8079]

Blake Swan This whole segment is full of fakes. I have no idea why anyone wants to buy this kind of underpowered, overweight, semi-agricultural looking, lumpily styled non-utility vehicle. It is far from unique. Nearly all its competitors are equally poorly conceived - though possibly not quite so well constructed.

[@swanblake]

@@patrickhay8079 well all the competition has atleast a 200hp Turbo engine option and off er way more space. The competition is not anywhere near as port of a product offering as Lexus. I know old people think Lexus is God but you need to shop more and actually leaver the Toyota parking lot

[@patrickhay8079]

Blake Swan Who on earth would want 200bhp in a wallowing, rolling, lumpen brick?

[@bextar6365]

2019 Hyundai Santa Fe Blows it away for less $$$$$$

[@patrickhay8079]

Bextar636 Maybe, but it looks like a brick and drives like a bus (or maybe vice versa). All these non sport, non utility carts use more fuel than they need to, cost more than they should, and deliver a driving experience that borders on cruel abuse.
