2019 Lexus UX Review | Fighting Upstream

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

The new UX is the most affordable Lexus and a new entry into the compact crossover game. (Hatchback) While this segment is flooded with vehicles from everyone including, Mazda, BMW, Audi, Mercedes etc. Lexus is trying to attract new buyers to the brand. In 2019 the SUV and crossover game is going to be crazy as more manufacturers are going more toward Luxury features and options.

    I think manufacturers have an indirect hand through reviewers. With the exception of Savage Geese, all car reviewers on youtube say the same thing about new cars. They never address poor designs and use terms like upscale, and luxury feel when talking about non-luxury vehicles. As a result I've seen former luxury car owners buy an Accord or Camry and then complain online about creaks, rattles, and other quality issues. I'm sure there is a lot of that car reviewers also use subtle talk about SUVs/trucks since manufacturers have such a huge profit margin compared to cars.

In any event, I really like Lexus models and was looking to purchase a hybrid this year but the lack of standard options in some models versus the cost is a bit outrageous. I actually test drove the Mazda CX-5 but the ride wasn't as smooth as my old Lexus and it doesn't come in a hybrid. I haven't bought a vehicle in over 10 years and really feel stuck this year as to what I should buy. Ah, well. Perhaps, Lexus will change the seats of the 2021 Lexus NX hybrid to be more comfortable but I'm going to need something sooner than that.

    We have a 2019 UX that is one year old with 12k miles. Love it. Solid. Quiet. Comfortable. Beautiful interior. Ride great. In eco mode we get 42 hwy mpg!! And ours is not the hybrid! My son is 6’2” and fits/drives it comfortably, however, if you are taller, I’d upgrade to the NX or RX. We’ve had two dealer servicings at no charge. Adequate horsepower. You don’t buy this car if you are Ricky-racer. $40k out the door, and with every visit to the dealer, we are treated like it’s a $125k car! Free chow, free soft drinks, free wi-fi, lounge chairs, big screen tv and everyone is super friendly.

    I put considerable time in a family member's 2020 UX 200. With only 1k on the odo I got 33mpg with expected decent acceleration, especially from 0-30, where I need it most. The interior is absolutely stunning and great to the touch. This reviewer complains about the space. This was never meat to be a people or cargo hauler, other than two people and groceries or a couple sets of golf clubs. Lexus offers bigger models to satisfy people with SUV (not a CUV). I LOVE this vehicle as a daily driver/commuter/cross country hauler for two. The price in the low 30s make it quite affordable for many.

    I honestly would prefer if CVT cars did away with the fake shifts. I guess I'm an engineering purist, I hate anything fake (especially when it sacrifices performance). I feel like saying it "sounds bad" without fake shifts is just a perception issue, it's just what we're used to. At the end of the day engines are just big noisy controlled explosions, what it sounds like is something we should get used to not something we should actively try to change while sacrificing fuel economy/performance. The fact is that when we allow the CVT to act as it was designed, it gives us better fuel economy. Why throw that away for "the right sound"?

    I always appreciate the lengths you go to in your review. But in this case, I think you’re reviewing this as if it cost TWICE as much as it does. No one will be deciding between this and a Porsche Macan. 99.9% of the buyers of this car are probably young people JUST barely bumping up from a Toyota and they want the Lexus badge and the premium feel. And the hybrid will be a great choice with higher system hp and better mpg all at once.

    We've had our UX for a little over a year now, and 16k miles. Is it fast? No. Is the back seat small? Yes. Is the design weird? Yes. But is it comfortable, affordable, reliable, smooth, etc? Absolutely. We actually love where the volume/tune knobs are, and now in our other vehicles, it's an adjustment when we reach down near the armrest and remember the controls aren't there. The Lexus dealer/service experience can't be matched. We feel this is a long-term car for us, and we traded in a 2015 GTI for it. We don't miss that at all. Of course it's slower than the GTI, but we gained a lot of luxury features, an interior that will hold up better, higher resale value, and a much smoother car.

    Hey Geese, wanted to chime in and say great review. I especially appreciate the way you carefully navigated the fact that this car's design was inspired by a female engineer. As an engineer myself, I see a lot of antipathy towards the few females in my profession, and it really grinds my gears. As you said, I think it's good to have a diversity of perspectives in any field. Car design is no different. Honestly, after watching this video, I expected to see a bunch of sexist horseshit in the comments section about how women can't design cars. I was encouraged that you didn't say anything of that sort. Even if a lot of us enthusiasts wouldn't ever buy a car like this, I'm sure there are plenty of people who will like it for exactly the reasons enthusiasts might not. I hope to see more female-designed vehicles in the future. There could be some really great, fresh new ideas for car design to come from that. Great job, as always.

    I grew up driving a 1989 Firebird Formula; still own it. Sit in the "back seat" of that car and you'll appreciate every cm of room you get out of these CUV's! I know what you mean though. These CUV's are meant to be more roomy and more practical than sedans which is why they're replacing sedans, but they don't quite make them different enough yet.

    You have the best Cinematography out there! I need to be your apprentice ;) Since I'm dedicated to covering Lexus, I'll try to fill in the gaps. 1) F Sport UX can also have Black interior other than the Circuit Red 2) Radio buttons could have been slapped onto the dash, but they didn't want to over-clutter it and forfeit the clean look. Instead they put the radio controls where the drivers hand will be the majority of the time. It takes some time to get used to, but literally, the radio controls are always in your hand whether you have both hand on the steering wheel or one hand on the arm rest. Remember, the car is designed for 25-40 year olds who "listen" to music all the time, so they wanted the drive to have audio control in every situation. 3) 2) Getting in and out of the back is difficult for me being 6'1. Rear doors are small. Once inside, it's not bad for such a small vehicle. You have to remember that this car replaces the CT 200h, which has the same or less rear leg room. 4) Load floor is okay for the rear hatch. I wish it had a lower access point but it's not a deal breaker for 99% 5) Why would you buy the Lexus over the Toyota brothers? Quieter, better re-sale, built in Japan (the UX is anyways), HYBRID version with AWD...That's the biggest reason! 6) No Fake Exhaust tips BUT it still looks cheap. Even in the Hybrid, they didn't even try to hide it. 7) Steering and Brakes are great! Your takes on them are spot on. 8) Suspension is no GX 460 and something I've become to be accustomed to with the NX models. It can be a bit harsh. 9) Engine sound isn't good. Probably the most cringy thing about this car. 10) Paddle shifters are sadly the only way get the traditional auto shifting simulation. Mashing the gas holds at redline :( It is a CVT afterall. 11) Overall Styling I think is good, not great. The front end is really nice IMO and so are the rear taillights. The ugliest part is the rear fender panel from behind the rear doors to the hatch is just not well-executed.

    Great detail and explanation of the UX! It has its flaws but it gives reason for improvement. I think Lexus should give it a higher ground clearance and get rid of the plastic cladding. A UX-F optional at a higher price would be nice too...to give consumers a choice in if they want fuel economy or power but we can't have both due to the UX's weight. Great coverage of the UX on your page by the way!

    I think Toyota/Lexus has gotten a little too daring with styling, but that sort of bold design works on smaller vehicles. The UX looks more interesting inside and out than most of the competition, and aside from the grill, I think it’s quite a bit more reserved than some of the newer entries. There’s a decent value proposition, though I think a $30,000 base would be more in line with what you’re getting. Otherwise, I dig it for a versatile, reliable urban and suburban runabout.

    Wife drives 2021 UX from new, and it has been a solid car not one problem just dealer service. Yes it's smaller but safety is top notch on testing results.The smaller car is what she wanted, this however makes it a great urban machine getting in and out of parking and running around the city and it's just a little taller for drivers view. I don't drive it often but when I do it takes no time to feel comfortable and appreciate the lexus luxury and ease of drive experience. Fuel up time is not painful. I have to say It is easy to live with. I would recommend a set of snow/ice tires if you live in a snowy area so you can make it to the ski hill on the weekend.

    I love the thorough review. I wouldn’t call the UX an over styled mess as I think it looks pretty good. If I were to pick apart anything I’d mention the mpgs are just ok and some of the interior materials look like they were pulled out of a Prius. I don’t think it’s the worst car on the road though. Have a look at the Buick Encore GX-I’d say it’s around this size and a real mess of an suv.

    Would like to see how this compares to the 2019 Rav4. Very similar overall dimensions (Rav slightly longer and taller) but Rav4 has 2.5L, 203hp and 8 speed auto and maybe nicer interior architecture. Similar pricing for the top models around $36K but the Rav also has 4WD options for only $1.5K more than the 2WD. In the base models there is saving of $6K over the Lexus. When the base Corolla hatch is $20K, the Rav4 seems a bit of a bargain at $26K.
