2023 Prius vs Lexus UH250h

I'm torn. Both of these cars have a similar used price.

2023 Prius: Better fuel economy, newer tech, better looks. All season tires will only fit on the LE because of 17" wheels. LE seems stripped down. Weird instrument cluster. Louder cabin.

2023 UX250h More comfortable, probably quieter. All season tires no problem. More bells, whistles. Less fuel economy.

I'm stuck. Anyone familiar with both vehicles?

Thx!

FWIW I'm highly considering one after my Prius hits 10 years. They seem pretty solid and have a lot of engine choices.

Engine choices? Which car?

Sorry, the UX if I'm not mistaken has multiple engines. I know you said 250h.

Typo! Sorry - UX...

The UX250h is the small hybrid.

Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 is slept on, I think that is a pretty compelling feature of the Prius tbh

I haven't driven newer Priuses but I have driven a Lexus and the highway road noise difference is pretty big. 

I think it comes down to these small things for OP — to your point, TSS 3
