Lexus UX (2019-2026)

I am having the new car from Sutherland Lexus for two weeks now, its quite good to drive around, enough power, not noisy and comfortable. The drawbacks are: as we know, the boot space is too tiny, it does not come with spare tyre, so if I want to… Read more

buy a donet spare, the boot space even worse; I still don't like the Run Flat Tyre idea. Then, the 12v battery so small and hiding at the back. Other then that, all good.

Reliable and no hassles – I bought my Lexus UX200 in October 2019. It has been reliable and no hassle in terms of driving and maintenance for the past 5 years. However, I don’t like the design for the boot because it is not spacious enough to big grocery shopping and luggages. Also, the foot-kick feature to open the back hatch door is not designed efficiently. Couldn’t get it to work most of the time. Show details

I love my little Lexus – This little Lexus is a gem. I traded a 2021 Toyota Camry SL Hybrid for it in October 2023. Cabin comfort: The Lexus has narrower front seats than the Camry but more headroom and just as much leg room. The higher seating position helps to easily get comfortable and makes ingress/egress much easier. I have the white faux leather trim and it lifts… Read more

the presentation of the otherwise all black cabin (including head liner). Little luxury touches are appreciated like the electric seat adjustment, ambient lighting, electric windows that slow down before they fully close so they don’t “thunk” shut and the kick sensor on the electric tailgate that makes loading shopping easier. The back seat accomodation is quite tight, but ok for adults for short trips. Freezing cold Toyota/Lexus air conditioning works well in QLD summer heat. Large touch screen stereo system has excellent sound. Boot space is not huge, but adequate for my needs. A road trip to Byron with three adults, our luggage and a wheelchair was easily managed with the 60/40 seat folded down on one side.

Driving: The ergonomics are superb. You don’t realise at first but it soon dawns on you just how intuitive all the controls are, how simple yet functional the driver display is and how easy this car is to live with. The driver assist and safety features are really helpful - I love the radar cruise, lane centring function and lane keep assist features. The reverse auto emergency braking has saved me more than once when reversing blindly out of a car space with a large SUV or ute blocking my view. Compared to the larger capacity hybrid system in the Camry the UX250h feels a little underpowered. This results in the engine protesting loudly when pushed hard but it still zips out into traffic and gets up freeway on ramps and steep hills just fine. It has had no trouble on road trips heading up the range to Toowoomba or up mount Tamborine. There is a very slight thump when the system goes in and out of EV mode so it’s not imperceptible like the larger hybrid system - not annoying but I just noticed the difference. The ride is soft and bumps are absorbed really well. The cabin is very quiet and it does feel like a luxury vehicle to drive.

Economy: I am thrilled that this little Lexus will happily drink e10 petrol and as at today’s date with only 5900km on the odometer it is showing 5.6 litres/100km avg on the dash readout. My experience with my two previous Toyota hybrids is that over time this will reduce. I anticipate that with my usual driving style this will eventually settle at 5.2 litres/100km. I drive with the hybrid system in “normal” mode.

I would definitely recommend this car to a single or couple as there’s plenty of room in the front but the limited rear seat room and boot space means it’s not really suitable for use as a family car.

Radio Coverage regional areas don’t work – Having had a UX now for 3 years my only gripe is the radio constant crackle noise in regional vic. Antenna in vehicle is in back window and doesn’t pick up signal. The old shark fin antenna works brilliantly. Lexus have been helpful in replacing radio etc.. but that’s not the problem it’s the antenna still no luck lexus won’t replace my antenna.… Read more

Wondering how many other UX regional vic drivers have same issue with static crackle sound with radios. Other than that I can’t fault the car. Perfect vehicle to drive and servicing is 5 star.

Ultimate luxury in a sporty suv – This is by far the most luxurious vehicle i have driven. The cvt auto is responsive and the car feels light to take off. Handling has always been key for Lexus and the UX200 is a delight to fly around the corners. Other reviews by car people have said the ride is hard and the road noise loud but i say compared to what. The car is so quiet and the… Read more

ride is smooth. You can feel the car taking all kinds of bumps. So many bells and buttons inside the car but there are many options to turn off the alerts if you prefer quieter driving even the auto stop start is quiet. Although i like to save my starter motor by pressing the button to atop this feature. Even though there is so much inside this car the interior is sleek and minimalist but nothing is lacking. The cruise control has settings to cruise at the distance you prefer from the car in front and helps you drive. I have never enjoyed a car so much or felt as safe. Well done Lexus for creating an absolute beast of a compact suv. I have the non hybrid option and the fuel economy is next level. I use 98 fuel and it never costs more than 50 to fill the tank. This also lasts for many kms. The only downside is the size of the boot however when you flip the back seats down this multiplied and there is hidden storage under the boot cover. I have had this car over a year and still feel like im driving heavenly vehicle every day. Apple car play is seemless and i live that the phone can plug in via usb and hide in centre console or you can charge wirelessly at the front hidden compartment. It works well through my case as well. Overall an extreme joy.

Beautiful Car with a few major drawbacks – The car is a beautiful design, very smooth ride with technology that unfortunately is not maintained well by Lexus. The Lexus enform app they provide & its features are very amateurish and basic for a vehicle in this price range. You can not do simple things like check fuel prices and send addresses to the car for planned trips since the last… Read more

update the weather feature has been cut back to the point where it is useless also. Furthermore there is no feedback or response from the app developers to indicate they are listening to the overwhelming negative feedback that is being left. The cruise control does not work on hills or steep surfaces you have to monitor this manually if you dont you will risk a speeding ticket ( Lexus have acknowledged this fault ) Side mirrors do not fold in automatically. No apple play either and that is an important feature when you are left with the Lexus version that is like a flashback to the 90s. Very small boot as well however that does not bother me. I like the car however my partner purchased the car for me & I do regret he purchased this car as for the same price or well under we could have purchased a car with all the features this car lacks and more.

Lexus UX hybrid – If you’re thinking of a small crossover SUV packed with features I would definitely suggest the Lexus UX sports hybrid. Has the most technology in any car that I have driven is extremely easy to drive is fuel-efficient beyond what I could imagine. As well as the amazing look this car gives the driver a safe feeling as well as a sporty quick… Read more

response feel to the daily drive. Probably my favorite feature would be the self driving assist and different sports modes . I found the best service was provided by Lexus Of Brighton

Definitely a luxurious ride – i felt very safe in it glides along our crappy roads it lets you know if you are speeding all the mod con features you need comfortable seats and roomy enough Show details
