COMPACT SUVs
LEXUS UX $36,955-$46,945
MAZDA CX-50 HYBRID $34,750-$40,450
THE LOWDOWN Looking for a lower-priced, fuel-efficient luxury SUV? The Lexus UX, a hybrid with a solid reliability history, might seem like a great choice. But its cabin is snug, and it requires premium gas, which offsets fuel-economy cost benefits. For a little less money, consider the equally efficient, roomier Mazda CX-50 Hybrid. In top trims, it’s well equipped, with luxury elements like leather and ventilated front seats. Plus, it’s quicker and stops shorter than the UX, and gets top marks for safety. If you can look past the prestige branding on the Lexus, the Mazda is a much better value.
