Lexus UX 200

Its like an upgrade from the European comparables in its class. Lexus standards are really up there. The attention to details and the reliablity is outstanding. Perfect for Singapore driving. UX has a nicely appointed cabin and comes packed with standard equipment.

So I've been driving BMWs and Volvos as my past cars. Im done with those brands due to reliability. Test drove the Merc GLA, Audi Q3, and Mazda cx lines. This Lexus UX is hands down the winner. Best in class. Smooth drive, superior interior, edgy exterior and an engine that can last a lifetime with the reliability. Decent power for the compact suv set up. The transmission is as smooth as silk as well.

Been driving this for a few months now. The attention to detail on this compact suv is amazing. Love everything about this. Feels lux and has the Lexus reliability. Perfect for Singapore urban driving. Drive to work, shuffle the kids around and weekend runs. Loving this car...

Test drive the Car after phase 2 of CB. The Car is agile, responsive, and comes with posh interior and attractive exterior design. It comes with lots of good safety features when compared to other premium cars (which requires additional $ to top up to get). I am hence pretty happy with it. I love the touch pad infotainment system as well, as it is rather unique and handy (it will take some time to get use to it thou); Cos I does not like the norm of conventional touch screen, as it leaves behind ugly finger prints on the touch screens easily... When within the cabin, it feels neat and serenity, the air and ground noise are relatively low when the car is in motion, with great sound quality from the in-car stereo. Lexus is also well known for its Car Reliability, hence felt the Car is even value for $ when it comes to mid and long term car ownership! Kudos!

When parked side by side with the NX, I thought it was a sedan. It does not look big and tall like any suv.

Exterior styling is pretty good.

Interior is where it shines. Good comfortable seats, looks of soft cushions in used, put your arm on the rear center arm rest, you can feel the soft cushions when your arm rest on it.

Nice dashboard, albeit some of the parts would make it look odd, like the stub stick on the top left dashboard that is used to change the display mode.

The 10.2 inch screen offers crisp and sharp image, better than any other cars. Too bad it's not touch screen.

The touch pad will take some getting used to, however I like the radio and volume control pad, just rest your left hand on it and use your thumb and index finger to shift thru the channels and volumn, have never seen this in other cars.

Drive is pretty decent and quiet in my view. Power is pretty good consider that it drops not offer a 200hp output, but with a cvt gb, there is a limit to its performance no matter the engine power. Cvt gb is pretty smooth and slick.

168k for the luxury then only you get memory seats and turn signals are not even LEDs. Korea, Japan variant gives you FULL LEDs as standard. Here, even luxury model doesn't have it nor does the hybrid. Boot is the tiniest I've seen. Not sure what you could put in there... Maybe, just the front wheel of a mountain bike! Rear space if you are 1.75 to 1.8 then good luck. Aircon vents doens't even have metal trim to make it look posh. Aircon vents in the rear look like 80s taxi. Ride quality is fine but sound proofing is horrible. Buy this only for the badge otherwise, you're better off getting a Honda CR-V 1.5 Turbo. Tons of space, lower in price, option of 5 seats or 7 seats, FULL LEDs exterior lights and lower road tax.

Test drove the luxury version last Sunday. Personally, I think it's main rivals are BMW X1 and Merc GLA series. Here's my take on the car.
