The Lexus UX is a subcompact luxury SUV known for its distinctive styling, high-quality interior, and excellent fuel economy from its standard hybrid engine. Best suited for city driving, it provides a quiet, comfortable ride. For many markets, the UX is exclusively a self-charging hybrid (now badged as the UX 300h) continuing to focus on urban efficiency rather than high-performance driving.
Lexus is a Japanese luxury vehicle manufacturer and the premium division of Toyota Motor Corporation. The Lexus UX occupies a distinct position as the brand’s smallest and most accessible gateway into luxury, serving as a crossover that blends the footprint of a hatchback with the elevated stance of an SUV. It features a best-in-class turning radius that makes it significantly easier to steer through tight city streets compared to its larger siblings. While other Lexus SUVs lean into heavy towing capacities or expansive cargo holds, the UX prioritises efficiency and a low centre of gravity, offering a more car-like, nimble driving experience that remains tethered to a high-efficiency powertrain.
It's most similar to the NX which is the next logical step up, providing more interior volume and more powerful engine options, if you find the UX too compact for your needs.

The ideal driver for a Lexus UX lease is a single person or a couple, especially one that prioritises a premium, comfortable, and stylish experience over maximum practicality. This driver likely spends most of their time in urban or suburban environments, appreciates a high-quality interior, and wants an efficient hybrid or electric vehicle for stop-start city driving. They're unlikely to have a family needing extensive cargo space or rear-seat room.
Cars similar to the Lexus UX in the UK include direct premium competitors like the Audi Q3, BMW X1 and Volvo XC40, as well as more budget-friendly or mainstream alternatives such as the Skoda Karoq, Volkswagen Tiguan, and Toyota RAV4.
A 2023 update introduced a larger battery that significantly increased its maximum official range to up to 279 miles.
Leasing a UX is an excellent option compared to buying for a number of reasons, including the lower initial rental instalment and monthly payments. You’ll also benefit from a fixed leasing price, so there’s no need to worry about price hikes midway through the contract. At the end of the agreement, you can sometimes extend the lease. Otherwise you'll simply hand the car back hassle-free, to shop around for a new one.
