Though it may have its faults, the UX crossover is a perfectly fine vehicle. It presents motorists with a premium-level interior at a much lower cost than its European rivals, and it looks appealing from the outside, too. The safety suite is extensive and contributes towards the car’s high safety rating. This is confirmed by the near-perfect review of the 2021 Lexus UX by both the NHTSA and IIHS. Reliability is unquestioned, either, as there have been no recalls for this year.
When it comes to 5-door family SUVs, the UX ticks all the right boxes. It doesn’t need more power than it supplies, and the ride comfort is excellent. The savings on the fuel bill stacked on top of the lower asking price will likely bring a smile to buyers’ faces, though. It’s definitely worth consideration if you don’t mind a boring but compliant daily driver.
