Expert Reviews

Expert reviews: 

Pros
Refined
Cheap to run
Build quality

Cons
Small for an SUV
Expensive top trims

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

Pros
Slick,
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
Zesty turbo engine,
high-class cabin,
pleasing to drive.

Cons
Just-average warranty coverage,
wireless smartphone charging only offered on top trim,
less headroom than in a CX-5.

By: 
caranddriver.com

Pros
Quick acceleration from optional turbocharged engine
Sharp handling
Upscale interior design
Decent off-road capability for a small crossover SUV

Cons
Ride quality is bit stiff
Slightly more expensive than rivals
Middling cargo capacity

By: 
edmunds.com

Pros
Posh, comfy interior
Zippy engine performance
Athletic handling
Many standard features

Cons
Busy ride quality
Below-average cargo space
