Lexus UX 300h: the successor to the 250h, with more power, acceleration and technology

The motoring world is set to welcome the update to the best-selling urban crossover from Lexus in Europe: the arrival of the new Lexus UX 300h hybrid, an evolution that replaces the UX 250h with more power and better acceleration. With a high total output and improved acceleration that surpasses all previously launched versions, even fully electric ones, with 450 km of range, the Lexus UX 300e.

Improved power in the new Lexus

The heart of the new UX 300h beats with a 2.0-litre inline four-cylinder engine, paired with one or two electric motors in the 4×4 version, delivering an impressive total output of 146 kW (199 CV). This 8% increase over its predecessor, the UX 250h, promises an even more exciting driving experience. In addition, the 0–100 km/h acceleration time has been significantly reduced, reaching 8.1 seconds in the front-wheel-drive (4×2) version and 7.9 seconds in the 4×4 version.

All-wheel-drive version

The new UX 300h features a new rear electric motor that is six times more powerful in the 4×4 versions, ensuring a responsive acceleration and power delivery: the electric motor increases output from 5.3 kW (7 CV) to 30 kW (41 CV). In addition, the e-Four all-wheel-drive system (4×4) continuously optimises the distribution of the vehicle’s weight, providing exceptional stability in a variety of driving conditions while enhancing safety.

Lexus Safety System+

In terms of safety, the new UX 300h is at the forefront, featuring the third generation of the Lexus Safety System+, which introduces new functions, including Proactive Driving Assist, which detects low-speed risks in urban environments, and emergency brake lights, which offer greater protection in the event of an imminent collision. In addition, the Safe Exit Assist (SEA) prevents collisions when opening the doors in traffic situations.

Built-in technology

Inside, the new UX 300h offers an unmatched user experience. The 12.3-inch fully digital multi-function display, available on certain versions, provides customisable information that is accessible with a single touch. The new e-CVT gear selector allows faster and more precise gear transitions, while the integrated “Driver Monitor” facial recognition camera ensures the driver’s safety at all times.

Six trim levels available

The exterior design of the UX is refreshed with the introduction of the eye-catching Copper Petra colour, which adds a touch of elegance to all versions of the model. Several trim levels are also available to choose from: RELAX, RELAX+, F SPORT, F SPORT+, UX and UX+, and the F SPORT+ trim offers a two-tone option with a black roof and pillars for those who want to stand out from the crowd and express their unique style.
