The UX competes directly against cars like the Volvo XC40, the Jaguar E-PACE, the Audi Q3, the BMW X1 and the Mercedes GLA. The angular Lexus NX, which previously represented the company against rivals such as these, has been repositioned a little further up-market as an alternative to slightly larger medium-sized models (think Audi Q5s and BMW X3s). So, does the UX stand a chance against such an army of fiercely talented competitors? Well the looks are certainly a little different to what's on offer elsewhere in this sector - and so is the core powertrain, a non-Plug-in petrol/electric hybrid. There's also an alternative UX 300e battery full-electric version available if you want it. Lexus believes that over 80% of buyers will never have owned one of the company's products before. Will they like this one? Let's find out.
You might wonder whether the market really needs another posh little SUV like this Lexus UX, but we would contend that this segment wasn't really complete until this premium Japanese brand entered it. True to form, this Oriental maker is the only one of the established players in this class to offer the option of self-charging full-Hybrid power and that in itself will be enough to garner this UX plenty of sales in a market where plenty of buyers want an alternative to diesel. Obvious rivals offer Plug-in Hybrid technology - strangely lacking here, an oversight that might in future look somewhat short-sighted. If you really must plug in your UX, you'll have to choose all-electric UX 300e variant, but that's pricey. So the standard UX 250h is the version to choose and if you'd like one, a better comparison point would be with an ordinary Focus-style family hatch rather than with any kind of SUV: this car is a Lexus CT200h replacement in all but name. Think of it in those terms and it makes plenty of sense. As Lexus models tend to do.
