That’s what I don’t understand about peoples hate towards Lexus hybrids. They are outstanding to live with and the hybrid system is just a joy on a daily basis

[@wglgee1347]

Haters are GOING to hate I drove a CT 200H for 100k miles and loved it now I have the UX and it’s quicker than the CT by far and it’s just a marvelous machine.

[@paulmcgee1867]

Absolutely

[@paulmcgee1867]

@@wglgee1347just done the same! Very happy with my choices

[@paulmcgee1867]

Climate control also has switches

[@jeffl1484]

I have this car as a daily, you dont buy it for speed. You don't buy it to fit a whole family in it, maybe for 2 people and some groceries or a dog. Works great for my needs. If I wanted more space, I have a LS and a NX as well. For speed, I have the LC. People who criticize the UX really just don't understand the platform. It's a great car.

[@AndriiSirenko]

I love all Lexus cars because of their serene driving style. I can feel it even when watching the povs. Its just so silent and smooth I don’t see any competitors for this money really. I’m selling my Lexus RX for something smaller due to a move to Spain. And still Lexus UX looks like a better option for me then german luxury competitors I tested. I just don’t need this pseudo sport twitching.

[@TechJunky777]

The UX300h is coming!

[@miekwest1]

Really enjoyed this review. Thought you struck a great balance and it was a good test over a reasonable distance/time period and in a mix of traffic situations. Thought you homed in on the pros and cons really succinctly - and highlighted what Lexus does best. 👍

[@rayaanshaikh5830]

Nice review. I think these "Living with" series are great. Lexus have addressed the infotainment issue now with the newer touch screen setup on the "facelift" cars. Its massively better and so much more intuitive.

[@edwardboardman4048]

This is the best review I have ever seen, well done

[@johnfigueiredo3223]

Great review highlighting strengths and weaknesses of UX

[@TheMastaRob]

Great review! One question, you were using the paddle shifters quite a bit when throwing it around, which I thought was interesting as I've seen a few other people saying they arent really very useful, even a gimmick, except to give you more regen downhill. Since they're only on the F-Sport models, do you think they are worth having, if you wanted to have a bit of fun in the car occasionally, or did you find yourself just letting the gearbox do it's thing in the end?

[@code6499]

Rumour has it that if you say "Audi Q2" one just spawns on demand.

[@ParagonCarsLondon]

🤣

[@oddities-whatnot]

The Q2 is horrible. Its Audis attempt at a crossover but in my opinion ends up looking cheap and nasty. Driven one for a day, was okay to drive but to me seems like a poor persons Audi, trying to be trendy to show off yet goodness knows why. Audi love customers who are full of their own self importance.

[@KJ-vw8cd]

Why did u blur out ur speed when u were driving in like 2x speed

[@mickb8565]

I find the track pad quite. Easy to use if you set the tack pad to slow but the wing mirror thing is ridiculous it's like going back in time 10 years

[@BoldMusic-v9i]

Fantastic review! Does this have the pre- entry climate control? And did you resolve the automatic wing mirror issue? 🤔

[@ParagonCarsLondon]

i think the pre-entry heating is only on the fully electric ux300e.

[@XDMIIIIIIIII]

Does it feel like a proper SUV/Crossover? Kinda looks like a higher up hatchback, same as the GLA.

[@lrac111]

Brilliant review, thank you so much. Would you say its best in its class or what is it close to?

[@fivish]

Forget the touch pad and use voice controll. Brakes are smooth! Small? A Fiat 500 is small. Gets 53 mpg city or motorway. Sport model has low profile tyres which you dont want with pothole infested roads. Radar Cruise has 1 mph increments on the + - buttons.

[@ronmartyn6292]

Needs mirrors folding from the fob, otherwise great car for me.

[@Farmhandboy]

included on the takumi trim level. Frustrating it's not standard as is significant safety feature when alighting from the car "blind" with folded mirrors!

[@ClownfishDepot]

What was the final MPG ratings?

[@Wantali]

You could play a good ‘safe and predictable’ drinking game.

[@nadrukiuk7097]

Someway I couldn’t go above 40mpg with my ux 250h with no speeding at all 🤷‍♂️ maybe It’s just something wrong with my driving style or with my car

[@infinite_azure_]

Love Lexus'! Wanted to ask, what camera do you use to capture your pov footage? Always looks good

[@ParagonCarsLondon]

New Go Hero 11

[@mintimperial1762]

Like,,!!! Like

[@robinholmescnx]

Killing anything whilst driving is terrible. Don't drive like such a boy racer. "It's a bit small for an RV of this size"🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂 Funniest review ever!

[@seb1things1]

The car looks great……but the boot……sorry the one that is not existing……..

[@guppy360]

It’s actually larger than some of the competition. You can lower the floor for more storage

[@hctim96]

great review and the 2023 has update to the infotainment system and 2025 bigger engine. 200 BHP whooohooo

[@doomldn718]

Was hoping you'd show how the apple car play worked like ! Seeing as the main infotainment screen has bad reviews

[@BorjaDe]

The mirror thing isnt an oversight, its a lexus BS policy where a proper auto mirror flod is reserved for the fully loaded versions ony

[@leesmith9299]

no hesitation at junctions is what i'm really looking for. it's what i hate about other automatics and i really can't be bother with a manual in traffic.

[@adrianosparlapipas]

HOW WOULD YOU COMPARE THIS TO A COROLLA 2.0?

[@Farmhandboy]

Just a clarification on the small boot. It's quite shallow with a large tray under the floor panel which gives it extra storage volume. However, taken the tray out and.you will find a polystyrene tray for tool storage etc. As this can be removed also it leaves a large extra volume for storage. Why Lexus did not make this more easily accessible and convenient with a clever rear deck adjustment is anyone's guess, but the potential is there for a decent sized boot to compete with the other cars in this class. Further, if you look at the cars external styling at the rear, it has some considerable clearance from the road and so could have been provided with a much bigger load depth with a small change in external styling.

[@mtavassoti]

I'd like to see how you deal with capacitive buttons of VW and Benz 😂😂😂

[@oddities-whatnot]

I had a Subaru Outback, 2016 model in the UK. Really great car for ride and quality of build, handling and character of the 2.5 engine but….awful fuel economy round town and not fantastic anywhere else really. Thats the problem with Subaru. Ive only driven the CT200h and really liked it but the low profiles and firm suspension was not very good. This UX, I knew nothing about it until a couple of days ago, seems a very very good car. Refined, enough power for me as a weekend only car if im honest as I am in a van during the week. Seems quiet and very well made, plus the economy is appealing with an engine that does seem to have a nice bit of character to it. Well worth a look I think. Great review.

[@Ambienfinity]

Excellent thoughts. I had thought about one of these, but the infotainment and the boot size have been a bit offputting. Feels plush inside though.

[@dakonyt]

I hope nothing happened to those pidgeons at 18:28

[@leesmith9299]

can i suggest that in the editing the music is played at a similar volume to the talking before and after it. a bit annoying to have to adjust my volume when watching. plus it really shocked me one time. of a nervous disposition i guess.

[@robovac3557]

BOO!!!

[@Rick-tb4zm]

Love my lexus

[@markandrew6572]

Motoring journalists bang on repeatedly about the lack of buttons and having to find settings for basic stuff like heated seats etc buried in the touch screen. This reviewer mentions the buttons and says something like ‘I don’t know why they’re here’. Seems like manufacturers are damned if they do and damned if they don’t.

[@markmw123]

Hi, great review but FYI, I’m pretty sure they’re not bag hooks in the boot rather they’re for the luggage screen but, there should be hooks that toggle outward ??

[@AbdulAhmed-ll3cn]

Nice review really informative- didn't realise Rishi Sunak had started reviewing cars on KZbin

[@ParagonCarsLondon]

😂

[@gingerpietka8426]

Great review! Thanks

[@LS-ut3kf]

great review!

[@KJ-vw8cd]

5:04

[@RPercheiro]

Great review 👍

[@marufbepary100]

I would probably keep the fake engine sound ON just to drawn out the CVT sound to be honest. I had a friend recently and he was like why does your engine sound like it's about to explode and I told him it's normal for a CVT.
