The compact crossover has enhanced safety features and an improved multimedia system in both the full hybrid Lexus UX 250h and the all-electric Lexus UX 300e. In the future, this will offer more connectivity, faster and easier operation as well as cloud-based navigation on a touchscreen up to twelve inches in size.
The first Lexus electric car will also be available with a new battery system starting next year. This increases the range of the Lexus UX 300e by more than 40 percent to up to 450 kilometers (WLTP combined). Fine-tuning of the body and chassis also contributes to a sharper driving experience. The new Lexus UX 250h, which is already available, also guarantees driving fun and responsive handling. Anyone who chooses the F SPORT now benefits from adaptive variable shock absorbers on the front and rear axles as standard. Fresh colors, including two-tone paint finishes, complete the innovations.
An electrified drive is mandatory for the Lexus UX: The Lexus UX 250h has a 135 kW/184 hp hybrid drive that combines a two-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine with two electric motors. With the E-Four all-wheel drive system, an additional electric motor on the rear axle supports when starting and accelerating as well as when cornering on slippery surfaces, thus optimizing traction. The VSC stability control not only automatically improves the power distribution between the front and rear axles, but also corrects oversteer and understeer, thereby contributing to excellent cornering behavior. The rear electric motor also serves as a generator for the regenerative braking system, which further increases the efficiency of energy recovery.
The 150 kW/204 hp Lexus UX 300e is purely electric and therefore locally emission-free - and now even longer: Building on the premium brand's more than 15 years of experience in electrification, the electric car will be on the road from spring 2023 a lithium-ion battery that has been increased from 54.3 to 72.8 kWh. This increases the range by more than 40 percent to up to 450 kilometers (WLTP combined), depending on the equipment and tires.
