Big on Style, Easy on Gas: 2025 Lexus UX 300h vs BMW X3

The 2025 Lexus UX 300h and the BMW X3 both bring a lot to the table. But only one makes real sense for daily life in Brampton. The UX 300h gives you great fuel savings, a smooth ride, and a cabin that feels premium without being too flashy. It’s also easier to live with, easier on your wallet, and still gives you that luxury feel. Let’s take a closer look and see why the Lexus stands out in all the right ways.
Power That’s Quiet and Smart
The Lexus UX 300h may not be the fastest SUV, but it’s smooth, calm, and smart with its power. You get 196 horsepower with all-wheel drive, and the new battery system makes everything feel more refined. The BMW X3 does have more power, but it uses more fuel to get there. And with both models using automatic transmissions, the Lexus shift-by-wire system feels cleaner and quicker with fewer moving parts to worry about.

Fuel Numbers That Just Make Sense
Let’s be honest. Gas isn’t cheap. That’s why the Lexus really shines here. The UX 300h gets 5.6 L/100 km combined. That’s excellent for a luxury SUV. Compare that to the BMW X3, which ranges between 8.1 and 8.6 L/100 km depending on the engine. Over time, that’s a big difference—especially if you’re driving across the GTA often.

Safe, Steady, and Ready for Traffic
The Lexus UX 300h has done well in safety tests. It’s a Top Safety Pick and handled tough crash tests like a pro. The X3 also has a good safety setup, but the UX’s high safety rating and standard safety features give it a real edge. With all the traffic around Brampton, that peace of mind goes a long way.

Feels Like a Lexus Inside
Step into the UX 300h and you’ll see what makes it special. It’s quiet. Clean. Comfortable. The materials feel rich without being over the top. Heated and ventilated seats come standard. The top trims even add a 12.3-inch touchscreen and a head-up display. The BMW has more screens and tech buzzwords, but it can feel a bit too digital for some. The Lexus keeps it balanced.

Sized Right for City Life
The UX 300h is a little smaller than the X3, but that’s a good thing around town. It’s easier to park, lighter to steer, and still roomy enough inside. For most people in Brampton, especially in tighter neighbourhoods or underground parking spots, this size is perfect. The X3 is bigger, but that also makes it feel bulkier in daily driving.
Lexus Keeps It Simple. And That’s a Good Thing.
From reliability to pricing, the UX 300h just makes more sense. It’s rated high by Consumer Reports, costs less to fuel, and stays smooth year after year. The X3’s extra features and power are nice, but they come at a higher cost—both upfront and long term.
