“The UX is a likeable compact SUV and arguably the best car Lexus makes. However, few UK buyers will see the benefit in the four-wheel drive version, especially when it costs more to buy, fuel and tax than the front-wheel-drive UX – some of the main draws of owning the hybrid Lexus.”

“The Lexus UX hybrid is good to drive, economical and should be easy to live with, too.”

“Dynamically speaking, the UX is the most competitive car Lexus makes, blending a comfortable ride with neat, controlled handling. However, if you’re looking for family-friendly practicality, you’ll need to look elsewhere, due to the UX’s cramped rear seats and tiny boot.”

Score: 7 / 10
“A Volvo XC40 is a more complete, well-rounded package, while the Audi Q3’s cabin offers even greater levels of premium appeal. But for those after something a little different, that’ll stand out from the rest of the compact SUV field, the Lexus UX is easy enough to recommend.”

“Refreshingly different, cost-effective premium SUV is a credible, if not class-leading, alternative.”

“There’s no doubting that if you’re in the front, at least, the Lexus UX is a cocooningly pleasurable place in which to spend time. It soothes with its comfort, quietness and air of refinement, particularly if you stick with the standard 17-inch wheels and go for a Luxury specification model.”

“The Lexus UX is a striking small SUV with a classy, well-equipped interior, but those looks won’t be to everyone’s taste and the infotainment system is about the fiddliest there is.”

“The Lexus UX stacks up brilliantly for business drivers, but has practicality issues and some styling and especially usability nuances that would improve the car if ironed out.”

“The Lexus UX F Sport with Takumi Pack may be difficult to get to grips with at first – but once you do you’ll find it’s beautifully complicated.”

“The Lexus UX 250h is a compact SUV, it has an efficient petrol-electric hybrid powertrain, and a premium badge, so it ticks lots of boxes with potential buyers – and it’s also good to drive.”

“It’s frustrating that more effort hasn’t been concentrated on giving the UX an extra sprinkling of showroom appeal, but the budget has clearly been spent on producing a car that’s well built and will be cheap to run.”

“Compact crossover is an intriguing, leftfield choice”

“Is the UX enough to compete with the XC40? For me, not quite. But it’s the first Lexus which knows exactly what customers want, rather than persuading them to break the norm and take a gamble.”

“The family SUV market really needs hybrid cars like this to reduce CO2 emissions and provide an alternative to diesel. Unfortunately the UX, while providing a serviceable hybrid drivetrain, misses the mark with its poor internal packaging, connectivity options and screen graphics.”

“The driving experience is so-so, the infotainment system is poor, while practicality is shocking for a family SUV when it comes to rear-seat and boot space. If you want a hybrid SUV you’d be better off with a larger Toyota RAV4 for the same money.”

“In the popular compact SUV market, the Lexus UX stands out not only because of how it looks, but also how well it performs in pretty much all respects. It’s easy and relaxing to drive, is comfortable and feels very well built. If you can live with the small boot, it’s a great choice.”
