Our quick take

Lexus UX 250h - 4.0 / 5

Eye-catching design

A smooth-driving hybrid

Tech lacks, er, UX…

To recap

While this small-scale Japanese SUV is comfortable, eye-catching and well-equipped for the money, the on-board tech is tricky to use - ironic given the ‘UX’ namesake - so it’s hard to recommend buying it over a German rival like the Audi Q3. Once the Lexus tech suite is next-gen, however, this’ll be a great little SUV option if you’re looking for an easy-to-drive and comfortable hybrid.
