The 2024 UX250h is the smallest vehicle produced by Lexus, and you might be surprised to hear that it is classified as an SUV. The UX seems to be only a slightly higher hatchback, which helps distinguish it from more upright options such as the Mercedes-Benz GLB-class and the BMW X1. A hybrid powerplant with 181 horsepower under the hood may power the front wheels or all four. Either way, the UX250h isn\'t very fast, but it\'s lively enough to keep up with city traffic and freeway traffic without making the driver nervous. The UX\'s interior is well furnished but not as spacious as those of its competitors. 

With the pint-sized UX, which is more appropriate for single city residents, Lexus is not targeting families. Its roomy interior would accommodate two adults on a long-distance excursion, and its fuel-efficient drivetrain creates further chances for more economical road trips.

Fuel Efficiency and Actual MPG

The EPA estimates that the UX will get 43 mpg in the city and 41 mpg on the highway with front-wheel drive and 41 mpg in the city and 38 mpg on the highway with all-wheel drive. This is typical of hybrid cars, which do better on highway driving than local roads. This was demonstrated when we tested a 2019 UX250h with all-wheel drive on our 75 mph highway fuel-economy test route as part of the comprehensive testing program, and it only produced 31 mpg, which was 7 mpg less than the EPA estimate. The tested front-wheel drive model got 35 mpg, which was still 6 mpg less than the EPA\'s rating.

Cargo, Comfort, and Interior

With its elegant design and high-end materials, Lexus makes sure that passengers know this is a premium car. Additionally, it has power-adjustable front seats and dual-zone temperature control as standard equipment. Options like a head-up display, snazzier materials, and heated and ventilated front seats can improve the experience. The rear seat is not very roomy, but it\'s also not as little as one might anticipate. Sadly, there isn\'t much room for cargo behind those seats. Three more carry-on bags in the back of the BMW X1 could have been packed, but only four carry-on suitcases can be squeezed back there.

Connectivity and Entertainment

Each UX offers four USB ports, a mobile Wi-Fi hotspot, and a touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Many more options are also available to improve the little Lexus, such as an eight-speaker premium music system, wireless charging, an integrated navigation system, and a bigger 12.3-inch touchscreen.

Features for Safety and Driver Assistance

Additionally, every vehicle has standard driver-aid technology with the Safety System+ 2.5 feature set from Lexus. This incorporates adaptive cruise control with lane-centering, lane-keeping assistance, and automatic emergency braking with pedestrian recognition. Visit the websites of the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) for further details on the UX\'s crash test results. Important safety characteristics consist of:
 

• Typical automatic emergency braking that detects pedestrians
• Regular lane-keeping assistance and lane departure warning
• Normal adaptive cruise control equipped with lane-centering functionality

Coverage for Maintenance and Warranty

In addition to an excellent powertrain warranty, Lexus offers a competitive limited warranty. Additionally, the carmaker offers a brief duration of gratis planned maintenance.
 

• A limited warranty is valid for 50,000 miles or four years.
• The powertrain warranty lasts for 70,000 miles or six years.
• The guarantee for hybrid components lasts for 10 years or fifty thousand kilometers.
• Free maintenance is available for a year or 10,000 kilometers.

Cost and Selection of Items for Purchase

The 2024 Lexus UX ranges in price from $36,690 to $44,120, depending on the model and extras.
 

You could choose the F Sport Handling version since it has additional upgrades such as a sportier suspension, more supportive front seats, and a sleeker-looking instrument cluster. 
 

Also, the Premium package is superior to the other one, as it comes with superior inside materials, a sunroof, rain-sensing windshield wipers, and heated front seats. Lastly, it is advised to include wireless charging, a motorized liftgate, a heated steering wheel, and a head-up display.
