Lexus UX
The Lexus UX is one of the most fuel-efficient subcompact luxury crossovers out there. Available exclusively as a hybrid, it achieves a combined 5.6 L/100 km, making it a great way to reduce one’s carbon footprint on the road. For 2025, the UX gets some interesting upgrades such as a more advanced all-wheel drive system, increased power (from 181 hp to 196 hp), revised packaging and new body colours. Like any Lexus, comfort and reliability are also part of the mix.
