The Lexus UX300e now has more range and a bigger battery. Sounds great, right?

Well, it is great in a few ways, this electric luxury crossover SUV. But it's also compromised in many ways, so much so that it might not be right for you, depending on what your expectations are for an EV in 2024 and beyond.

That's because it still has slow DC charging (50kW CHAdeMO), slow AC charging (6.6kW) and it doesn't offer anywhere near as good real-world efficiency as you might hope it would, too.

Inherently, being built on the same platform as the petrol- and petrol-electric hybrid versions of the Lexus UX means this is a compromised SUV.

But it's also great in a few ways, and is definitely improved since the original version.

I am aiming to review every new car on the market that people actually buy, to help new-car customers like you, or curious car enthusiasts (maybe also like you) get the right steer when it comes to choosing a new set of wheels.

If you're looking for a car for yourself, monitoring the market and hunting for the latest info, or even if you've just bought your new car and you're looking to see what experts like me think about it, The Right Car will offer you something of value.
