Portuguese prices just came out... This thing too much for a small crossover!
For us, is 2.000€ in Luxury trim more expensive than the IS300h Luxury... Wich is a whole different level!
Also, this starts at the same price of a CT200h Luxury... They must be crazy if they see this as a CT replacement!
To put things in perspective, in Luxury trim is as expensive as a Tesla Model 3 LR + AWD!
Too much money for what’s being offered in my opinion...
Also, it’s 10.000€ more expensive than a top of the line RAV4 Hybrid...

Honestly, I will be amazed if this sells as well as they say...

Don't worry CT isn't going anywhere!

I've put about 1000 miles on a UX 200h and a UX 200 and I am very pleasantly surprised at how much I like them. I'll have a review soon but in summary its a great entry level Lexus that doesn't feel cheap and is roomier than you think. MPG is a plus as well but obviously both models are not built for speed.

I am quite smitten by the UX.....

@mikeavelli , thanks bro we will wait for your review but I want to ask you about your last sentence

but obviously both models are not built for speed.

Is it stability problem or power problem or both ?

Thanks. Well I know they are not built for 0-60 but mahn they are slow lol. CVT is smooth but gets buzzy at higher simulated gears. I prefer AWD to FWD. I just cannot wrap my head around FWD having driven RWD or AWD vehicles since I was around 22......

That said for its intended purpose I liked it a lot and was very pleasantly surprised it wasn't cramped at all up front, just the rear but it was still manageable.

I have just over 2,700 miles on my UX 250h (U.S. spec) and absolutely love the car. I bought mine with fuel efficiency in mind and wanted a car that has style, safety tech, and a few creature comforts. So far, the UX does not disappoint. I love the driving dynamics and am averaging just over 44 mpg in combined city and highway driving. Mostly conservative driving.

I will post a more in depth review when I have time and after spending more time behind the wheel.

Same here. Very happy with our UX 250h F Sport. Traded the RX for it as the wife wanted a smaller more fuel efficient vehicle.

Late in posting our new UX!

Your UX looks fantastic! I like the color and love those wheels! The wheels on your UX are not the standard F Sport wheels, correct? Same with the tires?

Great photo! Congratulations!

Thanks. Correct. Aftermarket 20" wheels on 245/40/20 rubber.

Very nice. I like the addition of the Lexus “L” center caps on the wheels.

This vehicle looks better in members' photos than in those stock media shoots.

Good to know handling is pretty decent. If this is the first BEV to come out of Lexus, maybe I should bite lol.

Wheels, like a pair of shoes, makes all the difference!

I believe I posted at least one of these pics in another thread, but have not added anything to this specific thread.

I posted this video in another thread, but think it is also appropriate in this location.

I came across this video demonstrating the performance of the UX 250h e-AWD system in a series of somewhat difficult tasks, designed to put the tested vehicle’s all wheel drive system to the test. I came away a bit surprised as I did not expect the UX to perform quite as well as it did.

What are your thoughts?

Video developed by CQ (Car Question).

 

[Lexucator]

Below, please find a more in-depth review of the UX from CQ (Car Question). In this review, the snow performance of the e-AWD system is tested.

Enjoy!

I had Michael sit in the backseat to show how much room it has. Its not bad for kids at all.
