Lexus introduces new features to its flagship model, the UX 250h

In a very short time Lexus has made its UX 250h a true sales success for both the brand and within the premium crossover segment, all thanks to a great combination of design, technological equipment and a well-known hybrid powertrain. But to stay at the forefront, a product needs to be up to date, and the Japanese brand is now doing so by introducing small changes to several areas of the UX 250h.

The Lexus UX 250h is a really attractive vehicle whichever way you look at it, but it is true that, for a vehicle in the premium segment, some changes are needed to create that sense of quality, especially in the higher trim levels of the model. That is why Lexus is introducing specific new features for the F Sport, F Sport Cuero and F Sport Luxury trims, which now replace the black plastic wheel arch trims with parts painted in the same colour chosen for the bodywork.

Regarding colours, the palette has been expanded with the new Gris Sonic colour, available across the entire range regardless of the trim chosen. More specifically, those who opt for the Style trim can now choose between the Cuero Tahara Negro, Cuero Tahara Blanco Ceniza and Cuero Tahara Negro upholstery with bronze contrast stitching, and in this trim, heated front seats are now available as standard equipment.

On the technology side, the infotainment system of the Lexus UX 250h has also been renewed with the aim of making its operation much simpler and more intuitive, thus avoiding as many distractions as possible. As a result, there is now an interface with a simpler appearance and larger icons which, thanks to its compatibility with Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, also will now allow its operation with voice commands thanks to Google Assistant or Siri if you are an Apple user.

There are no changes in the technology area, so under the bonnet we will continue to find the fourth-generation Lexus Hybrid Drive hybrid system, made up of a 2,000 cc petrol engine which, in front-wheel-drive versions, is accompanied by an electric motor and, in all-wheel-drive versions, a second electric motor is added on the rear axle, resulting in a combined output of 184 CV transmitted through the CVT automatic gearbox.

The new Lexus UX 250h is now available to order on the Spanish market, with starting prices set by the brand as follows:
