Lexus recently handed me the keys to the 2025 Lexus UX 300h, a stylish and efficient hybrid SUV that blends luxury with eco-friendly performance. The UX 300h offers a unique combination of premium features and hybrid efficiency, making it an appealing choice for those looking to downsize without sacrificing comfort or sophistication.
In this review, I’ll dive into the PROs and CONs of the 2025 Lexus UX 300h to help you determine if this compact luxury hybrid is the right fit for your next vehicle purchase.
PRO: Quality Interior
The interior of the 2025 Lexus UX 300h is a testament to the brand’s commitment to luxury, with high-quality materials like soft-touch plastics and leather upholstery with crisp clear displays to go with it.
PRO: Fuel Efficient
The 2025 Lexus UX 300h stands out for its impressive fuel efficiency, making it an ideal choice for those looking to save on fuel costs without compromising on style or comfort. With its hybrid powertrain, it delivers a great amount of miles per gallon, especially in city driving, where it excels at conserving fuel. It gets 44 city, 40 highway, for a combined 42 miles per gallon.
PRO: The Size
The UX 300h is just the right size for what most need. It is quite compact and can get you around and squeezing through narrow city streets or parking spots, but it doesn’t harm the driver experience in anyway.
PRO: All-wheel-drive
The all-wheel-drive system in the 2025 UX 300h isn’t going to win any awards, but it will add an extra layer of confidence, providing enhanced traction and stability in various weather conditions. Whether you’re driving in rain, snow, or on uneven surfaces, the AWD system helps ensure a smooth and controlled ride.
CON: Very Tight Rear Seat Space
The rear seat space in the 2025 UX 300h is on the tighter side, making it less ideal for taller passengers or families needing extra room.
CON: Rear Cargo Space
The rear cargo space in the 2025 Lexus UX 300h is somewhat limited due to its compact I was just raving about. While the space is quite deep, due to the hatch style trunk vertical space is limited.
