00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:01.770
- Kevin is helping his in-laws

2
00:00:01.770 --> 00:00:05.160
replace their BMW X5 hybrid.

3
00:00:05.160 --> 00:00:06.840
They're getting a little older,

4
00:00:06.840 --> 00:00:10.650
and the car's bumpers are
getting ever more dinged,

5
00:00:10.650 --> 00:00:12.570
and it's time to get them into something

6
00:00:12.570 --> 00:00:13.950
a little bit smaller.

7
00:00:13.950 --> 00:00:17.130
They want something that's
comfortable to get in and out of,

8
00:00:17.130 --> 00:00:20.850
hybrid powered, and a little luxurious.

9
00:00:20.850 --> 00:00:25.850
So with a budget of $70,000,
what car should they buy?

10
00:00:26.160 --> 00:00:30.480
Kevin, your in-laws
need a Lexus UX hybrid,

11
00:00:30.480 --> 00:00:31.980
and I can prove it with math.

12
00:00:31.980 --> 00:00:36.450
Your in-law's X5 is 194 inches long,

13
00:00:36.450 --> 00:00:39.210
and clearly that's
proven too much for them.

14
00:00:39.210 --> 00:00:43.867
The XC60, previously recommended,
brings that down to 185.

15
00:00:45.300 --> 00:00:49.500
The Lexus NX, another
one inch down to 184.

16
00:00:49.500 --> 00:00:52.590
But your father-in-Law
isn't just hitting bumpers,

17
00:00:52.590 --> 00:00:56.070
he's scraping quarter panels and tires.

18
00:00:56.070 --> 00:00:58.560
Every inch counts here,

19
00:00:58.560 --> 00:01:02.070
which is why the Lexus UX wins out

20
00:01:02.070 --> 00:01:05.940
at 177 inches.

21
00:01:05.940 --> 00:01:09.810
The UX is comfortable.
It is hybrid powered.

22
00:01:09.810 --> 00:01:13.080
It will be smooth, easy
to get in and out of,

23
00:01:13.080 --> 00:01:17.640
and not a downgrade from what
they're used to in the X5.

24
00:01:17.640 --> 00:01:22.560
It's also a cheaper car.
These things start in the 40s.

25
00:01:22.560 --> 00:01:24.960
You can option them to
your heart's content

26
00:01:24.960 --> 00:01:27.840
and never bust that $70,000 budget.

27
00:01:27.840 --> 00:01:30.780
The Lexus UX is smaller and cheaper

28
00:01:30.780 --> 00:01:33.840
without sacrificing that luxury

29
00:01:33.840 --> 00:01:36.570
that your in-laws have come to expect.

30
00:01:36.570 --> 00:01:38.010
It's the right car for them.

31
00:01:38.010 --> 00:01:40.500
Do you agree with my
opinion or are you wrong?

32
00:01:40.500 --> 00:01:42.030
Let me know in the comments below.

33
00:01:42.030 --> 00:01:45.660
And as always, for all your
car buying advice needs,

34
00:01:45.660 --> 00:01:47.943
keep your eyes peeled to Jalopnik.
