How does the Lexus UX compare to the BMW X1?

How do you compare Lexus UX 250h and BMW X1 (2-litre petrol, auto), models 2018-2020.

And where does Suzuki Vitara 1.4 Boosterjet auto stand in this mix? Models 2016-2020.

Both the Lexus UX and BMW X1 are desirable premium SUVs. The Lexus UX is likely to be a very reliable choice, and the brand consistently performs well in our annual Satisfaction Index. The BMW X1 will be more enjoyable to drive, though, and has a better infotainment system.

The Suzuki Vitara should also be very reliable, although it feels dated alongside competitors like the Volkswagen T-Roc (and will feel rather downmarket compared to the BMW X1 and Lexus UX).
