SUPERIOR PERFORMANCE, ENHANCED SAFETY
A PIONEER OF ELECTRIFICATION
The new UX300e is an evolution of Lexus’ first battery electric vehicle (BEV) production model.
The car has been highly acclaimed for its distinctive design as an urban compact crossover and its excellent handling body size, as well as for its high-quality driving and quietness only a BEV can offer.
The latest model delivers a cruising range extended by more than 40% up to 450 km and an energy efficiency of 16.7 kWh/100km.
SUPERIOR PERFORMANCE, ENHANCED SAFETY
A DEEPER DRIVING EXPERIENCE
The car has a seamless connection between deceleration, steering, and acceleration in all driving situations. Body rigidity in the new UX300e has been strengthened by adding 20 spot welding points. A low centre of gravity results from the under-floor placement of the battery pack, performance dampers installed as standard in the rear, and the optimal EPS and absorbers tuning. The result is a sharp and sophisticated ride with improved quality, directness and response.

LEXUS SAFETY SYSTEM +
The "pre-crash safety" function, which detects bicyclists in the daytime and pedestrians at night, has been expanded to include detection of oncoming vehicles before turning right at intersections and pedestrians crossing the street when turning right or left. In addition, functions such as emergency steering assist have been added. A curve speed control function decelerates the vehicle in advance according to the size of the curve.
“THE UX 300e HAS ACHIEVED A SIGNIFICANT EXTENSION OF CRUISING RANGE AS A VALUE-ENHANCING BEV THAT IS TAILORED TO THE CUSTOMER'S LIFESTYLE. WE WILL CONTINUE TO MAKE IMPROVEMENTS TOWARD THE REALISATION OF A CARBON-NEUTRAL SOCIETY.”
Chief Engineer, Mitsuteru Emoto
