As the smallest vehicle in the Lexus lineup, the 2024 UXh might strike you as an unexpected candidate for the hybrid SUV category. At first glance, it looks like a hatchback that stands slightly taller than others in its class. But don’t let its diminutive size fool you.
This petite powerhouse embodies all the key features and capabilities you’d expect from an SUV. It checks all the right boxes as an upscale gas-electric crossover. Its robust engine, stylish design, and admirable performance ensure you’ll love driving the 2024 UXh in San Jose, California. Read as our Lexus of Stevens Creek team takes a closer look at the 2024 UXh so you can see if it’s worth adding to your shortlist of hybrid Lexus SUVs.
Trim Levels and Pricing
The Lexus UXh SUV is available in four distinct trim levels: the UX 250h, UX 250h Premium, UX 250h F SPORT Design, and UX 250h F SPORT Handling. Each offers varying luxury and technology levels, so you can customize your UXh experience to suit your needs. Here’s a quick look at the offerings for each trim:
- UX 250h: With a starting MSRP of $36,690, the standard UX comes with a robust equipment suite, including the Lexus Safety System+ 2.5, eight-way power front seats, Smart Access keyless entry, wireless Apple CarPlay integration, wireless Android Auto compatibility, and heated side mirrors.
- UX 250h Premium: The Premium trim costs more than the base UX and will set you back $39,150. It adds to the standard model with features such as a hands-free power liftgate, rain-sensing wipers, heated and ventilated front seats, a moonroof, and an auto-dimming rearview mirror.
- UX 250h F SPORT Design: The F SPORT Design starts at the same price as the Premium trim but adds unique styling and sporty elements while relegating some of the Premium’s standard equipment to the options list. Standard features include 18-inch F SPORT wheels, LED fog and cornering lights, auto-leveling headlights, and a black roof.
- UX 250h F SPORT Handling: If you want the best performance the UX offers, the F SPORT Handling is an ideal choice. At $44,120, this trim builds on the F SPORT Design and adds even more sporty elements, such as an Active Variable F SPORT-tuned suspension with adaptive shock dampers and two new Drive Mode Select modes: Sport S and Sport S+.
Exterior
The exterior design immediately commands attention with its sculpted contours, assertive grille, and eye-catching LED headlights, making a big statement on the road. The optional 18-inch alloy wheels further enhance the streamlined silhouette. Around the back, the edgy rear bumper is sure to draw the eye. Wraparound LED taillights add a modern touch, with the rear spoiler adding an extra flair of sportiness to the overall look.
The F SPORT model takes exterior styling to another level with distinctive front and rear bumpers, a dramatic black roof, and matching black roof rails. A selection of innovative paint colors allows you to make your UXh unique.
Performance
On the performance front, the Lexus UXh is the ideal companion for your daily San Jose commute. The standard 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine delivers 181 horsepower and 152 lb-ft of torque. It pairs with two electric motors and a continuously variable automatic transmission, giving you plenty of power for the road. You can choose between front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive, depending on your needs. Either way, you’ll have smooth and responsive handling.
Fuel Efficiency and Eco-Friendly Features
As we inch closer to an eco-friendly, sustainable future, fuel-efficient and low-emission vehicles are taking center stage. The Lexus UXh is leading the charge in its class with an impressive standard fuel economy of 43 mpg in the city and 41 mpg on the highway. Such efficiency is thanks to its advanced hybrid powertrain system and eco-friendly features. The EV drive mode enables you to save fuel by running the car on battery power alone for short distances and at low speeds, making it ideal for trips through parking garages and other stop-and-go situations.
The UXh also comes with an ECO mode, which helps maximize efficiency by adjusting the engine’s power output and providing further tweaks, such as a deceleration feature, to reduce fuel wastage. Regenerative braking is another great feature that maximizes the UX Hybrid’s efficiency. With the help of a small nickel-metal hydride battery pack, the brakes capture and store energy when you use them. The Lexus UXh is an excellent choice if you want to reduce your carbon footprint while still enjoying the high-end luxury of a Lexus.
Interior
The interior of the Lexus UXh is a sumptuous affair. Everything shows the Lexus brand’s attention to detail, from plush seating materials to a well-crafted dashboard. The cabin is noticeably spacious for a vehicle of its size, and the eight-way power-adjustable front seats ensure maximum comfort.
The standard interior features NuLuxe synthetic leather upholstery, while the F-SPORT package adds perforated leather trim on the steering wheel and shift knob. The Washi interior trim looks like Japanese paper grain and is a unique touch that adds to the UXh’s luxurious aesthetic. Aluminum pedals and front door-sill scuff panels complete the look.
Infotainment and Connectivity
The Lexus UXh has various technology features, including an 8-inch infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, four USB ports, and a mobile Wi-Fi hotspot. To enhance your driving experience further, you can opt for the upgrade package, which features a larger 12.3-inch touch screen, built-in navigation, wireless charging, and an eight-speaker premium audio system.
Safety and Driver-Assist Features
As with all Lexus models, safety is a top priority for the UXh. It boasts numerous active and passive safety features, including the standard Lexus Safety System+ 2.5 suite of driver assists. This system includes lane-keep assist, adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning, automatic high beams, automatic emergency braking, and road sign recognition.
