Lexus UX 300e 2022 Review: The BEST Luxury Electric Car You Can Buy? | OSV Car Reviews

[@rivervalegroup]

So, would you buy the Lexus UX 300e? 🤔

[@アキュラ-p5j]

Definitely. But I bought the UX250h.

[@bobojo8591]

I am old school l accept they will be forced on us sooner than later but l will hold out as much as possible. l had an electric scooter with a claimed range of 50km, if l ever did 30km on a charge that was very rare. So no thanks. Until they can do 1 000km, minimum, on a single charge, more charging stations are available and they do a full charge in less time, l am not interested. However, when they work they are simply amazing, pity the juice tends to run out too quickly.

[@CB-RADIO-UK]

I am considering the normal hybrid version which you can buy for just over £30k. I think they may be asking too much for the 300e considering its low range. For £53k you have a lot of choices out there.

We have leased one. After 1 month of having the car it's got terrible range, hoping for around 160 in real use but only getting 120 miles maximum, if we had bought it we would have sent it back.

[@bobojo8591]

Thanks for the video, hopefully a full review will soon follow. l must say you do those better than just about anyone l know. Keep up the good work.

[@rivervalegroup]

Thanks for the great feedback, brilliant to hear that you enjoyed the review 👍

great video, love the colour options on the UX

[@rivervalegroup]

Thanks for watching! Which colour would you go for?

In the hybrid model, the battery is underneath the back sets, NOT the boot floor. The reason for less boot space in the hybrid is just poor design in the boot and how high the boot floor is (loads of space underneath), something which they thankfully corrected in the UX300e.

[@rivervalegroup]

Thanks for the correction David 👍 What do you make of the UX 300e overall?

[@level10boy]

@@rivervalegroup funnily enough I have one today as a loan car. Honestly I'm quite surprised how quick it feels, especially at higher speeds with all that instant torque, more than enough power for the roads. the NVH and ride quality are bloody good, leagues better than a Tesla. So definitely fun to drive, but being front wheel drive, traction control was kicking in a lot. Two big problems though, range isn't that good, and blimey it is overpriced for what it is. Lexus have really got the pricing all wrong with the UX300e, it should be 35k max for the base model.

[@RevLexus]

@@level10boy I like the initial punch the 300e provides off the line

[@CB-RADIO-UK]

Hi. The sunroof does it open ? Ta.

[@rivervalegroup]

It certainly does, Fred!

[@CB-RADIO-UK]

@@rivervalegroup Thanks bud. No one has been able to answer that before. Prob worth the £700 option then.

[@nickyfoulkes8476]

Nearly £45,000 for a car that does less than 200 mile driving range. Devon & Cornwall don't have any motorways. I could not drive from Devon to deepest darkest Cornwall & back in one charge without stopping in Truro for nearly 1 hour to recharge the thing. I wouldn't want one if you were giving it away.

[@rivervalegroup]

Thanks for your comment Nicky. Hopefully the UK's charging infrastructure will improve in the next five years

[@adrianbyron-parker5797]

@@rivervalegroup Its not the charging that's the issue its the range

[@SergCarReviews]

@@adrianbyron-parker5797 It is a shame cos the car is well done for what it is but the range... And cos of that the price becomes unjustified... I actually drove this UXe for the whole day from 100% to 0% and the expected range is no where near what is outlined! You're welcome to watch it and let me know what you think.

[@simoncastle5200]

@@adrianbyron-parker5797 we're getting about 120 miles in eco mode. Terrible.

[@ragnarkisten]

It is underrated! At least the latest version!

[@RagShop1]

Where is this car available? I don't think in the U.S.

[@rivervalegroup]

Hello Jeffrey 👋 The UX 300e variant is not available in the U.S currently. However, the Lexus UX Hybrid is due to enter American markets next year.

[@RagShop1]

@@rivervalegroup We've had the Hybrid for some time; the gas only engine version is going away for 2023.

The milage is abit of a let down for the price of the car to be fair. Think il have to get the kia e-niro

[@RevLexus]

@@SergCarReviews I got 165 miles of real world range on a charge today. Not the 196 claimed :/

[@spiritualdeath101]

Based on the online feedback I suspect Lexus are going to have to buy these back. Lexus currently have 69 used 300es available. The short range and chademo is fatal. Shame - I was interested in buying this car.

[@rivervalegroup]

It's a great EV - just a shame about the short range! We suggest taking one for a test drive as there's lots to admire

[@apiscator444]

Biggest issue is slow ev charging because of non standard poor charging port. So takes 4x to 6x as long as popular fast charger, that's a stupid decision. Oh and poor rear legroom. Check independent reviews

[@burayisonradoldururum]

I couldn’t focused what you said thinking how handsome are you 🥰

[@pfeifferarmin]

Attractive? Looks like a Transformers intermediate conversion stage, tbh.

[@rivervalegroup]

Which models do you find more attractive, Armin?

Have you stopped getting your videos from C&D now?

Which other electric cars do you have in mind? Hope you enjoy the review! 👍

[@Munkeh102]

@@rivervalegroup Yeah, I'll still tune in, your reviews are always very detailed. If you're happy with an electrified ICE car, I'd say an iX3, the base price is much higher, but so is the base spec.

Electric Cars are all the rage Now, but people should be aware that once the Battery guarantee expires, if the battery dies which has happened to some, it will cost more to replace the battery pact, than buying a New car.

[@rivervalegroup]

Hi there, if you'd like more information about getting an electric vehicle, be sure to visit our EV hub ⚡ www.osv.ltd.uk/electric-vehicle-hub/

[@ryanpinder9053]

It's regarded as something that is supposed to last the life of the car like an engine or transmission, also I've heard stories of Toyota replacing hybrid battery packs for free outside of their warranty period

[@jameschapman4824]

This car is five years to late. The cars that Toyota are building in China may be their saviour we'll wait and see.

[@rivervalegroup]

Thanks for your feedback James. It will be interesting to see how the EV landscape changes in the next five years 👍

the RZ should be good! I have that video on my channel.
