2020 LEXUS UX250H F SPORT FULL REVIEW

EV Channels Review

The Lexus UX250h F Sport is presented as a niche vehicle, specifically targeting affluent, childless millennials. The reviewer highlights its exceptional ride quality and handling balance, noting its ability to absorb bumps without sacrificing a sporty feel, a significant achievement for its short wheelbase. The F Sport trim is recommended for its aesthetic improvements. The hybrid system is praised for its seamless operation and impressive 41 MPG average in suburban driving. However, the UX faces criticism for its steep $43,000 price tag, lack of practicality (small cargo space, small cupholders), and missing expected features like a full safety suite and wireless charging. The infotainment touchpad is described as accurate but 'weird' and less intuitive than a touchscreen. The reviewer suggests that competitors like the Toyota RAV4 Hybrid Premium or Mazda CX-30 offer better value and practicality for the money, making the UX a choice for those who prioritize the Lexus badge and its unique, albeit compromised, premium experience.
