If fuel economy is important to you but you like the look and drive of a luxury car, check out the 2019 Lexus UX Hybrid, which starts at $33K. It’s a competitor for the Audi Q3 and BMW X1—which are more pricey—but the Lexus UX offers a lot of safety features as standard and the Apple CarPlay. The hybrid drivetrain offers 175 mph horsepower and all-wheel capability. You should be able to go 33-38 miles on a gallon of gas. It also features a retuned suspension.
To make the UX look more youthful, it’s being offered in green and orange.
Negatives? Interior faux leather, a mere 17 cubic feet of interior space, and awkwardly placed sound system knobs.
Still, like other carmakers, Lexus offers drivers a dressed up economy car with style and functionality, and you can say you’re being kind to the environment.
