Created to evoke the original fun of driving in the city, the all-electric Lexus UX 300e combines world-class Lexus refinement with an exciting new Lexus Electrified experience.
THE FIRST ALL-ELECTRIC LEXUS
The new UX 300e is spearheading 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.
RELAX AND RECHARGE
Benefit from your own Lexus home charging station and pan-European rapid charger network accessed by the Lexus Link app.
TRIPLE LED HEADLIGHTS
These headlights feature compact triple-projector LED units and L-shaped Daytime Running Lights that display a Lexus signature arrowhead. Additionally, multi-weather lights help maintain a safe field of view in foggy driving conditions.
SUNROOF
An electric, tilt and slide, glass sunroof adds a feeling of freedom, spaciousness and light to the UX 300e cabin.
ALUMINIUM ROOF RAILS
Roof rails made from solid aluminium create an appealing shape that runs smoothly and seamlessly along the UX 300e roofline.
The UX 300e’s new 150 kW electric motor/generator not only powers the car’s front wheels, but uses ‘regenerative braking’ to produce electricity when you’re braking or coasting. One of the most sophisticated and compact motors of its kind, it is both powerful and incredibly efficient.
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 an EV. Ensuring a refined drive under all conditions, the PCU delivers smooth acceleration even when your accelerator pedal operations are slightly erratic.
Equipped with our pioneering Lexus Safety System + that includes a Pre-Collision System, now with daytime/nighttime pedestrian detection and bicycle detection during daylight hours, the UX 300e delivers class-leading safety performance.
AERO STABILISING REAR LIGHT
The rear combination light on the new 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.
HANDS-FREE POWER TAILGATE
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.
AC / DC CHARGER PORTS
A 6.6 kW AC (Type 2 / Mennekes connection) inlet for charging at home is installed seamlessly on the right rear-quarter of the UX 300e, whilst a 50 kW DC (CHAdeMO connection) inlet for rapid charging ‘on the go’ is on the left side.
The new UX 300e delivers agile handling and pure, direct acceleration, giving you a greater sense of confidence and precise control. With its low centre of gravity and all heavier components concentrated at the car’s centre, cornering enjoyment is enhanced, while the strengthened chassis and extra rigidity of the battery unit contribute to precise steering.
For class-leading steering precision and driving refinement, the high performance level of the UX’s GA-C platform has been further enhanced by the extra rigidity of the UX 300e’s underfloor battery, which is secured by cross members.
DRIVER-FOCUSED COCKPIT
To create a feeling of seamless continuity, for the new UX 300e our designers sought to eliminate the traditional boundary between the exterior and interior. The effect gives the driver an excellent field of vision with a clear sense of the car’s dimensions. The UX 300e also features a ‘seat-in-control’ concept that focuses major controls around the driver’s side of the cabin.
HEATED STEERING WHEEL
Offering an amazing level of luxury for this class of vehicle, the 3-spoke steering wheel on the new UX 300e was adopted from the LS flagship sedan. For extra driving comfort, the grip profile was crafted and perfected by recording the pressure on the palms of our ‘Takumi’ master driver.
PADDLE SHIFTERS
For engaging performance in situations such as frequent stop-start driving in the city and when navigating winding roads, the UX 300e’s deceleration can be controlled in four levels using the paddle shifters located behind the steering wheel.
Another central point of interaction with the UX 300e is the finely crafted drive selector. Replacing the conventional gearshift, it fits snugly in your palm and applies our very latest ‘shift-by-wire’ technology to create a premium feel for controlling Reverse, Neutral and Drive.
The cockpit features Optitron instrumentation with a central 7-inch TFT LCD screen. For the first all-electric Lexus, we’ve added a digital speedometer that creates a sporty look, a driving range indicator and a four-level deceleration indicator.
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.
You can control the UX 300e’s main display screen using a Touch Pad mounted on the centre console or by voice commands. The Touch Pad interface has been designed to give you the intuitive feel of a smartphone, with operations such as scrolling, pinching or tapping.
With vivid 3D graphics and many mapping options such as ‘Point Of Interest search’, the latest maps can be updated using ‘Over The Air’ technology. To enhance your navigation experience, online services such as online traffic, parking search, weather forecast, Google Search or Google Street View are available.
The UX 300e is the first Lexus model to offer cabin trim inspired by the grain of a paper, known as ‘washi’, which is used in traditional Japanese sliding doors.
The smooth leather upholstery available on the UX 300e is inspired by ‘sashiko’, a traditional Japanese quilting technique which is also used in the making of martial arts uniforms. The quilted leather is decorated with new perforation patterns that form mathematical curves and gradations in perfect alignment, enhancing the appearance of the seats.
HEATED SEATS
Standard on Premium and Luxury grade models, front and rear heated seats provide maximum comfort and relaxation in colder conditions.
ENHANCED LUGGAGE SPACE
Installed safely below the rear seats and cabin floor, the compact lithium-ion battery scarcely impacts on rear headroom, whilst the luggage space can hold 367 litres (loaded to the luggage cover). For added crossover flexibility, the rear seats split 60/40.
8 AIRBAGS
Extending its safety performance even further, the new UX 300e has a comprehensive shield of 8 airbags as standard. These include driver and front passenger airbags and knee airbags, front side airbags and curtain airbags covering all side windows.
Working hand in hand with the Battery Cooling System, Climate Concierge intelligently manages the interior environment of your UX 300e according to ambient conditions, ensuring excellent comfort and reduced power consumption. The S-Flow system can, for example, detect if seats are occupied, and regulate the climate accordingly.
The new Lexus Link app transforms the UX 300e into a connected car and underpins the entire ‘Lexus Electrified’ ownership experience. Intuitive to use, it offers bespoke EV services like remote charging, remote air conditioning and a charging station finder.
Whether you’re a private customer, business driver or large corporation, we’ll tailor a cost-effective finance package that works for you or your company.
Throughout your UX 300e’s life, we’ll work to ensure an amazing ‘Omotenashi’ ownership experience, offering unequalled service and seamless maintenance, all orchestrated to provide complete satisfaction and total peace of mind. Bespoke services for you and your Lexus include:
After test driving a Lexus there’s only one question that matters: how does it make you feel? Experience the latest UX 300e and you’ll know what we mean.
