2021 LEXUS UX 250H HYBRID BLACK LINE SPECIAL EDITION REVIEW

EV Channels Review

The 2021 Lexus UX 250h Black Line Special Edition is presented as a stylish and practical urban explorer. The reviewer highlights its "black on black on black" aesthetic, unique "Black Line" accents, and the convenience of the hands-free power liftgate. Inside, the "new luxe" interior is praised for its comfortable, cockpit-like feel, with the driver's seat offering excellent support and automatic heating/ventilating functions. The reviewer also commends the intuitive steering wheel controls, the advanced safety features like blind-spot monitoring and automatic high beams, and the user-friendly infotainment system with haptic feedback. A standout feature is the adjustable drive modes (Sport, Normal, Eco) that significantly alter the dash display and driving feel. The hybrid powertrain is noted for its 181 horsepower and the efficiency benefits of its lightweight oil and EV mode. However, the reviewer repeatedly emphasizes the limited rear-seat legroom, making it best suited for short trips or smaller passengers. The reviewer also points out the extensive hidden storage compartments in the rear cargo area as a pleasant surprise.
