The interior of the UX 250h is extremely inviting and comfortable with a host of features that add to one’s driving pleasure. The only drawback is limited rear seat room with tall front seat occupants. Oh, and the entertainment system could benefit from being more intuitive and user friendly.

PERFORMANCE

The 2022 Lexus UX 250h is not a rocketship, but acceleration is certainly more than adequate, and is actually quite satisfying. The CVT gear changes perceptible but smooth and the handling characteristics lean to the sporty side of the equation.
