I go back and fourth between the two. I will say it would have to be a hell of a drive with the es for me to move from the UX even if I like the size of es a bit more
We've had our 2025 UX 300h for 2 years (purchased April 2024), and it has been a great car and now has over 30k miles. I'd say buy the smallest car you can. They're dynamically easier and more fun to drive, the brakes and tires are cheaper, they're often times more fuel efficient, and the new UX has great tech (but not the very latest stuff like 360* cameras and stuff like that). My M340i is a little shorter than the new ES, but it's still a pain in the butt to park. I much prefer zipping around town in my UX instead of my BMW, but bigger cars do highways much more comfortably, so if you do a lot of highway driving, the UX is fine but is pretty buzzy when you're going over 75-80. We've still done multiple long road trips in the UX, however. Can't go wrong with the UX if it's not too small for you.

I LOVED driving the UX!!! It was very fun to drive , easy to handle and i liked the look of it. I love in an area where parking is tight so that is a huge pro... it's really just the drive and the trunk that's holding me back.... ITs front runner unless i can find a car that can top it lol... which admittedly at this point of my test drive run .... not many if any at all are toping it
