It's wild how much a more compliant suspension and redesigned cockpit improve the UX250h.

has addressed some of our issues with the previous UX, we wondered if Lexus really made enough truly substantive changes to its entry-level luxury subcompact crossover. In an effort to find out, we borrowed the top model in the 2023 UX range, a UX250h F Sport Handling, and put it through its paces.

The F Sport's adaptive suspension was also somewhat of an issue. We didn't like the way the previous UX rode , but the F Sport suspension arguably goes too far in the other direction. Body control is decent, but feedback through the chassis is largely muted by the damping, hampering its dynamic abilities.

Our test UX also included standard wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, a quartet of USB-C ports, and upgrades including a 10-speaker sound system and one of the sharpest, most visible head-up displays we've ever used. The F Sport Handling trim also comes with a curious feature called Active Sound Control, which essentially produces a synthetic powertrain noise that becomes more pronounced in Sport mode. Strangely, it often doesn't synchronize with the real engine and transmission. It's easy enough to disable, though, if you're not feeling it—there's a button for it to the left of the steering wheel on the dash.
