Only used the Lexus satnav once. Always been using Apple maps or Waze. which far more better than the standard satnav.

Is it 2023 or 2024? Any difference? Almost got the same colour. Looks great!

What is the latest firmware version for the infotainment anyway?

It all depends to the listener, the six speaker is enough but could be better if only Lexus could have added some control to all trims not just with ML system. My previous Corolla has it why cant Lexus. Anyway, its good enough as well to hide the tyre noise from those Runflats.

Its good enough for me to listen to music and radio. It depends on how you want your sounds to be, do you want it banging and booming then its not the right system for you as its oppose the car to be calm and quiet on the road. But would like to have more control on the sound system in which i think only available on higher trim which is the mark levinson system. Lexus could have added it all to all trim.

I too have second thoughts on getting the CHR instead of the UX but once I got the UX I have made the right decision. Lexus has always been more premium than Toyota. Yes, specs wise CHR seems to be more uprated than the UX but retaining value Lexus tops the ChR. The VED really is a real pain in the back side of owning new cars above 40k. Im just in time when the 2nd generation of UX comes out probably 2026.

Im sure it will fit 235/50/18 on stock f sport wheels and speedometer difference is negligible and MPG is still dependent on your driving style and driving conditions.

The 2024 UX will use the same 2l engine from the CHR which is the 5th generation hybrid system but Lexus do some tweaks for the UX. As far as the 2nd generation of UX, its timeline is between late 2025 and early 2026. Insurance is really higher then the CHR compared to Lexus UX is more premium than the CHR but as of now Toyota is leading the Lexus in terms of design and specs even though its the same conpany.

Its not definite of course, it could be different situation but as soon as you drove your new car out of the dealership its value drops, its a business of course they have to get the most money from your car if they sell it again.

I would think its half the price of what you paid for. But depends on your dealer and your relationship with them, as they would always value your car from the lowest to their mid range values. If you have been with them for a while and you service the car then most probably you get a good deal but would always get a third party to value your car first rather than the dealer atleast you will have an estimate

I got mine from Ali Express as well. Had it since August last year. Theres loads there. If not Ebay has it and even amazon.

All models will have automated back door entry/ kick sensor. I think not much changes until the redesign on 2026.

2026 is the timeline for the refresh UX model.
