The Lexus UX is known for its style, comfort, and efficiency, making it a standout in the compact luxury crossover market. Supporting Lexus’ vision for a carbon-neutral society, the UX has become an increasingly important model in its lineup, thanks to its hybrid powertrain. With the 2025 model year approaching, the UX is set to receive some exciting updates as it transitions from the UX 250h to the UX 300h. Let’s take a closer look at what changes we can expect.
Exterior Design
The 2024 Lexus UX 250h has a sleek and dynamic exterior design, featuring the famous Lexus spindle grille with a block-shape mesh pattern, LED daytime running lights, and a full-width rear light signature. The vehicle’s aerodynamic profile, large wheels, and sculpted surfaces create an agile and sporty stance. At the same time, the unique aero-stabilizing blade lights and a wing-type spoiler contribute to the vehicle’s quietness, fuel efficiency, and aerodynamics.
We expect subtle design updates for the 2025 UX 300h to keep the crossover fresh and modern. These may include revised front and rear bumpers, updated lighting elements, and new wheel designs. While the overall shape and proportions of the UX are likely to remain the same, these minor tweaks will help the 2025 model stand out from its predecessor.
Interior and Technology
Inside, the 2024 UX 250h offers a driver-focused interior with premium materials and advanced technology. The available color head-up display, standard Lexus interface touch screen, and up to five USB ports ensure you and your passengers stay connected and informed. The intuitive layout and high-quality finishes create a luxurious and comfortable environment.
The 2025 UX 300h will likely build upon this strong foundation, potentially introducing new interior color schemes and trim options. We may also see updates to the infotainment system, such as a larger touch-screen display, enhanced graphics, and improved connectivity features. As technology evolves, the UX 300h will likely incorporate the latest advancements to meet customer expectations.
Performance and Efficiency
One of the key strengths of the Lexus UX lineup is its hybrid powertrain, which combines a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine with two electric motors and generators in a hybrid transaxle. This setup is available in front-wheel- and all-wheel-drive configurations, offering a balance of performance and efficiency. This powertrain allows the 2024 UX 250h to deliver smooth and responsive acceleration while achieving impressive fuel economy figures.
As we approach 2025, we can expect further improvements in performance and efficiency with the UX 300h. Lexus might introduce an updated hybrid system incorporating more advanced battery technology, allowing for a longer electric-only driving range and reduced emissions. Lexus may also fine-tune the powertrain to provide quicker acceleration and a more engaging driving experience without compromising fuel economy.
Safety and Driver-Assistance Features
The 2024 Lexus UX 250h comes standard with Lexus Safety System+ 2.5, a comprehensive suite of advanced driver-assistance features. These safety features include pre-collision with pedestrian detection, lane departure warning, and dynamic radar cruise control. These technologies work together to enhance driver awareness and help prevent accidents.
For the 2025 UX 300h, Lexus may introduce an updated version of the Safety System+, incorporating new features and improved functionality. These could include advanced radar and camera systems, enhanced pedestrian and cyclist detection, and intuitive lane-keep assist. As safety remains a top priority for Lexus, the UX 300h will likely showcase the brand’s latest innovations in this area.
Trim Levels and Customization
The 2024 UX 250h is available in eight models, including the F SPORT Design and F SPORT Handling variants. These trim levels provide unique styling elements and performance enhancements, allowing you to customize your UX experience according to your preferences. With sporty exterior accents and enhanced suspension tuning, the F SPORT models are ideal for those who seek a more dynamic driving experience.
The 2025 UX 300h may introduce new trim levels or expand the customization options. These updates could entail additional exterior color options, new wheel designs, and distinctive interior packages. By providing a wide range of personalization possibilities, Lexus ensures you can tailor every UX 300h to meet your style and needs.
Platform and Suspension
Lexus constructs the UX on a robust global architecture platform that employs high-tensile steel, laser screw welding, and high-strength adhesives to produce a firm structure. This platform forms a solid foundation for the UX’s refined ride quality and agile handling. The SUV’s MacPherson strut front suspension and trailing arm double wishbone rear suspension are finely tuned to provide responsiveness and comfort.
The UX 300h may also benefit from the addition of Active Cornering Assist technology. This system helps the vehicle follow your preferred line while turning by regulating brake control on the inside wheels, improving stability and agility. This technology, combined with the UX’s already impressive platform and suspension setup, could further enhance the driving experience for 2025 model-year buyers.
Pricing and Availability
Lexus has yet to announce the official pricing for the 2025 UX 300h, but it will likely be competitive in its segment. The 2024 UX 250h starts at $35,540, and the 2025 model may see a slight price increase to cover the updated features and technology.
The 2025 UX 300h should be available in dealerships in the fall of 2024. However, the release dates may vary depending on the market and production schedules.
