The model
Read full Lexus UX reviewThe Lexus UX is an interesting alternative to established premium family SUVs, with distinctive looks and a very efficient hybrid system. However, it's only the promise of good fuel economy, cheap company car tax and Lexus's excellent reliability that appeal. The driving experience is so-so, and practicality is poor for a family SUV. As a result, it's impossible to recommend it over a Volvo XC40.
The trim
See full equipmentPremium trim is more generously equipped than Urban, and adds keyless entry, front parking sensors, heated front seats and a heated steering wheel. We reckon it's the trim to go for on account of it offering the best balance between cost and kit.
The engine
See full engine specsLexus has added a more powerful 300h hybrid system to the UX line-up, with an uprated battery and electric motor. It produces 196bhp, which means it can go from 0-62mph in 8.1sec. That’s marginally quicker than the 250h, but the extra power is more noticeable as you pull away from a standstill. It also offers stronger acceleration at high speeds.
