The new UX hybrid challenges everything that went before. Its bold design expresses unmistakable strength.
Boasting the next generation of self-charging hybrid technology, the new UK delivers a dynamic driving experience while keeping an eye on the environment. A 2.0-litre, four cylinder petrol engine combines with a powerful electric motor and newly developed hybrid transmission to provide a dynamic yet efficient ride.
The vehicle charges itself as you drive
The Lexus UX’s green credentials speak for themselves: CO2 levels reach as low as 97g/km, while fuel economy is up to 68.9mpg and BIK starts from 21%. What’s more, as a self-charging model, it needn’t be plugged in, so there’s no compromise – just effortless, smooth motoring.
The urban explorer.
Five driving modes enable you to optimise your experience, with Eco mode providing the most efficient ride and Sport S+ mode delivering sharp acceleration and precise handling.
The UX is challenging everything that came before it by being the smallest SUV ever made by Lexus. Don’t let its size fool you, for the UX combines unmistakable power with dynamic design. The design team strived for a striking design giving the UX a signature look that is impossible to forget, and this is evident from its intricate grille to its triple-LED headlights.
Developed by a master driver for a superior driving feel.
The innovation did not stop at exterior design, as it blends seamlessly into the luxury interior. The clever design gives the illusion of the instrument panel flowing through the windscreen into the bonnet, giving the driver better visibility and maneuverability. The ‘Takumi’-crafted leather upholstery and innovative technology within the instrument panel help give the UX its dynamic high-end feeling.
Discover new horizons in the new Lexus UX Hybrid
Three trim levels will be available: UX, F SPORT and Takumi. You can also create your perfect vehicle with our optional custom packs, including Tech & Safety, Premium Plus and F SPORT Takumi.
The UX utilises the most advanced technology to achieve powerful hybrid performance. A new engine is paired with two electric motor generators in a lighter and more compact hybrid transaxle than on previous platforms. The result is smooth, steady acceleration at lower revs and reduced frictional loss, both of which help to optimise efficiency.
With performance comes peace of mind.
When it comes to safety, you need to know your vehicle supports you. That’s why the new Lexus UX features the Lexus Safety System +, which includes a Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection, Road Sign Assist, Adaptive High-beam System and more. This comprehensive package gives you confidence in a range of situations, ensuring you and other road users are protected.
Safety in the city with Lexus Safety System+
Inside, the technology is no less innovative. Improved air control and climate control give you a relaxed and comfortable drive every time, while the impressive Mark Levinson Premium Surround Sound System delivers clear, concert-standard audio. With a wireless phone charging pad too, you need never worry about staying connected.
