It might be a bit quirky for some, but quiet EV power really suits the Lexus vibe

Pros

sophisticated,
well judged

Cons
Suffers slightly from not being a bespoke e-platform

If you live in a city, are hankering after a posh compact SUV and fancy going electric, we can see why the Lexus UX300e would be a tempting proposition. It’s well-equipped, pleasant to drive and comes with the promise of Lexus’s excellent reliability record. However, if you have a family or frequently need to do longer journeys, there is a plethora of more spacious rivals out there, the Kia e-Niro, Tesla Model 3, Volkswagen ID.4 (or even the ID.3) and Volvo XC40 Recharge Pure Electric being among them. All those cars offer significantly longer ranges, faster charging, better infotainment and much more interior space.

Pros
Well-equipped
Comfortable ride
Reliability record

Cons
Cramped rear seat space and boot
Short range and slow charging
Frustrating infotainment

By: 
whatcar.com

Pros
Unique styling helps it stand out
Comfy, and very easy to drive
Engines are smooth and refined

Cons
Back seats tight for adults
Infotainment could be sharper
Not very fun in the bends
