LEXUS UX 300e

THE FIRST ALL-ELECTRIC LEXUS

The UX 300e SUV pioneered the next chapter of electrification at Lexus.   

10 YEARS PEACE OF MIND

As a measure of our confidence in the UX 300e’s battery technology, we are offering a 10-year (or 1 million km) EV Battery Extended Care scheme.

THE LATEST UX 300e HAS 40% MORE RANGE

On the latest Lexus UX 300e, an updated battery system increases driving range by more than 40% up to 450 km – enough to travel from Brussels to Frankfurt for instance, or from Nice to Florence on one charge.         

_{Electric range figures are estimates and actual range can vary depending on factors such as selected grade, battery temperature, driving style, speed, road conditions, traffic, vehicle conditions, tyre type (summer/winter) and pressure, vehicle load, number of passengers and accessories fitted (post registration).}        

AERO STABILISING REAR LIGHT

                                                                                 The rear combination light on the UX 300e has an advanced design that is not only eye-catching but also aerodynamically efficient. Fins are integrated into the light to reduce air pressure changes by about 16 per cent, contributing to excellent rear stability during cornering as well as in sidewinds. 

LOW CENTRE OF GRAVITY / RIGID PLATFORM

                                                                                  The UX 300e delivers agile handling and pure, direct acceleration, giving you a greater sense of confidence and control. With its low centre of gravity and all heavier components concentrated at the middle of the car, cornering enjoyment is enhanced. For class-leading steering precision and driving refinement, the UX 300’s GA-C platform has been stiffened by the extra rigidity of the underfloor battery and cross members.

POWER CONTROL UNIT (PCU) / LITHIUM-ION BATTERY

 For higher output and driving range, the UX 300e features a compact new PCU, with all components engineered to handle the large currents associated with a BEV. Ensuring a refined drive under all conditions, the PCU delivers smooth acceleration even when your accelerator pedal operations are slightly erratic.

Tailored to the needs of urban drivers, the lithium-ion battery is sized to deliver an exciting balance of optimal range and dynamic driving performance. As a measure of our confidence in this latest battery technology, we’re offering a 10-year (or 1 million km) EV Battery Extended Care scheme on all functional defects of the main battery pack and capacity degradation below 70% (provided that the regular health checks are executed through the Lexus network).

LEXUS SAFETY SYSTEM + / SAFE EXIT ASSIST

                                                                                 The UX 300e benefits from the advanced active safety and driver assistance systems featured in the latest generation of Lexus Safety System +. These include a Driver Monitor that checks drivers for signs of fatigue and Proactive Driving Assist, which prepares brakes and steering to keep a safe distance from other road users and objects.  Even when you reach your destination, other road users are cared for too: Safe Exit Assist gives a warning to prevent occupants (front and rear) from opening their door in the event of traffic such as cars or cyclists approaching from the rear.

PRE-COLLISION SYSTEM / EMERGENCY STEERING ASSIST

Outstanding results in EuroNCAP for ‘vulnerable road user protection’ are a tribute to the acclaimed Lexus Safety System + (standard on every UX).

The enhanced Lexus Pre-Collision System allows more potential collisions to be avoided, such as at left/right turns and cut-in traffic. Should you try to avoid a pedestrian when a collision is imminent, Emergency Steering Assist will support your steering movements to enhance the UX 300e’s stability and prevent accidental lane departure.

DYNAMIC RADAR CRUISE CONTROL / ROAD SIGN ASSIST

This system uses a millimetre-wave radar sensor and camera to detect the vehicle in front and maintain an appropriate distance. If the vehicle in front comes to a halt, the UX 300e will stop too. When the vehicle moves off again, you will too. It quickly recognises traffic cutting in front and, in conjunction with Lane Tracing Assist, follows a more natural line through bends. Road Sign Assist (RSA) recognises traffic signs and provides you with valuable information. When linked to Dynamic Radar Cruise Control, your car’s speed can be adjusted according to the limit recognised by RSA.

BOLD DESIGN / TRIPLE LED HEADLIGHTS

                                                                                  The biggest challenge for the Lexus designers responsible for the UX 300e was to create a fun-to-drive all-electric luxury compact SUV based on the stunning Lexus UX. And from first glance, this is every inch a UX. The bold signature grille, the triple-projector LED headlights and L-shaped Daytime Running Lights that display a Lexus signature arrowhead, the sculpted lines, space inside and aerodynamic wheel arches. Now available in head-turning Sonic Copper, the UX 300e entices more than ever. Its dynamic, lean look emphasised by sporty 18” alloys, this is an electric car without compromise.

ALUMINIUM ROOF RAILS / SUNROOF

                                                                               Roof rails made from solid aluminium create an appealing shape that runs smoothly and seamlessly along the UX 300e roofline. An electric, tilt and slide, glass sunroof adds a feeling of freedom, spaciousness and light to the UX 300e cabin.

DRIVER-FOCUSED COCKPIT / HEAD-UP DISPLAY                                                             

To create a feeling of seamless continuity, for the UX 300e our designers sought to eliminate the traditional boundary between the exterior and interior. The UX 300e also features a ‘seat-in-control’ concept that focuses major controls around the driver’s side of the cabin. Witness how vehicle data is projected in colour directly onto the windscreen on a Head-Up Display, measuring 260 mm x 97.5 mm. As our first all-electric Lexus, we've included our digital speedometer to create a sporty look, as well as a driving range indicator and four-level deceleration indicator.

HANDS-FREE TAILGATE / FLEXIBLE LUGGAGE SPACE

For convenient loading and unloading, the UX 300e is available with a hands-free power tailgate. This can be opened and closed by moving your foot in front of a sensor located underneath the rear bumper while you are carrying the smart key. One less thing to misplace, the secure and convenient Smart Digital Key integrates all Lexus smart key functions into the Lexus Link + app on your smartphone. This feature lets you smoothly unlock/lock and start your car and can be shared between up to five people.

MARK LEVINSON® AUDIO

                                                                              Improved sound insulation and road noise damping makes your in-car musical experience more enriching than ever. Delivering 915 watts of power, the UX 300e’s 13-speaker Mark Levinson® Premium Surround Sound system produces world-class sound. The ideal design was pursued for every electrical component in the system to deliver a total harmonic distortion (THD, an indicator of signal distortion) of 0.1% or less. The system includes a 150 W / 4 Ω x 12-channel (8 channels used) Class D amplifier. This unit’s ample power allows it to drive large speakers accurately, creating clear, powerful sound.

LEXUS LINK MULTIMEDIA / SMARTPHONE INTEGRATION

Made faster and easier to use, with improved resolution on both the 8" and larger 12.3" touchscreens.

For enhanced connectivity in the UX 300e, wireless Apple CarPlay® and wireless Android Auto®, allows you to easily access your smartphone’s apps on the screen. The latest UX 300e now has an optional new 12.3” fully digital instrument screen. The layout and prominence of the meters and information change according to the drive mode selected and can also be customised.
