Although the beginning of the year is not usually a time when prices drop, it is a time for sales. at the time of buy a new car in these times we are satisfied with the fact that prices have not skyrocketed compared to the previous year. However, at the moment, there is a hybrid crossover that has reduced its spot price by 1,000 euros compared to the middle of last year. Its financing offer price has only increased by 300 euros, and in addition, it has received a notable technological update. Yes, this Lexus UX is a great opportunity.
Why is this Lexus UX 250h Business a good deal?
The Lexus UX 250h on offer it is a Business access finish. However, we are talking about a car with a very extensive equipment, and recently updated at a technological level. The equipment includes automatic double climate control, adaptive cruise control, lane centering assistant, traffic sign reading, 17-inch alloy wheels or a state-of-the-art multimedia system with an 8-inch touch screen – compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

To this equipment is added a fourth-generation full-hybrid mechanics, with 184 hp of combined power and more than solvent benefits. More important than a 0 to 100 km/h time of 8.5 seconds, the relevant data is a average consumption approved of only 5.3 l/100 km. Being a full-hybrid car – that is, capable of driving in 100% electric mode – its consumption is especially contained in an urban environment and in mixed circulation. Its electric motor has 109 CV, and is capable of moving the car by itself at speeds greater than 100 km/h.
The Lexus UX is a car with refined dynamics, openly oriented towards comfort due to the tuning of its suspensions and its great isolation. Its interior is impeccably built, with first-class materials and settings, clearly above the average for the premium segment. Nevertheless, the Lexus UX falters in its practical component: its rear seats are small and dark, and with a volume of 320 liters, its trunk is small and more typical of a traditional B-segment vehicle.
The weak point of the Lexus UX is practicality: its rear seats and trunk are scarce.

What alternatives are there to the Lexus UX?
With full-hybrid mechanics, there is no alternative in the premium compact crossover segment. However, there are microhybrid versions of rivals such as the Audi Q3 (from 45,450 euros)the Mercedes GLA (from 40,900 euros, without hybridization) or the BMW X1 (from 44,200 euros). However, all of them are considerably more expensive, as well as less efficient.
