If you’re looking for a new vehicle that’s packed with luxurious elements, premium materials, advanced safety systems, and intuitive tech, you’re in the right place.

An In-Depth Look at the 2025 Lexus UX Interior Features

The Lexus UX redesign for 2025 includes subtle enhancements throughout the interior that improves function and adds more style than its predecessor. The dashboard features clean lines and high-quality materials, complemented by a distinctive honeycomb-texture trim on select models. Throughout the cabin, the Lexus UX layout keeps the controls intuitive and within easy reach. Premium synthetic leather upholstery comes standard, while higher trims introduce options such as perforated leather with contrast stitching for an upscale feel.

Seating is spacious and supportive in the front, making the Lexus UX a comfortable option for long commutes and weekend getaways. You’ll also appreciate the power-adjustable front seats with available heating and ventilation. Despite its compact size, the UX maximizes usable space with thoughtful touches such as wide door openings, clever storage compartments, and reclining rear seatbacks, giving passengers more space to stretch out and relax on long trips. The 2025 Lexus UX also offers practical storage solutions, with a 60/40 split-folding rear seat that expands the usable space when needed, providing up to 17.1 cubic feet of room. 

Personalize the interior of your 2025 Lexus UX by choosing from the following color schemes and materials, depending on trim:

  • Birch leatherette
  • Birch and Lapis leatherette
  • Black leatherette
  • Palomino leatherette
  • Black NuLuxe leatherette
  • Circuit Red NuLuxe leatherette

Cutting-Edge Infotainment and Connectivity Features

The 2025 Lexus UX interior also gets plenty of high-tech upgrades. An 8-inch touch screen comes standard with a sleek and responsive interface that makes accessing navigation, media, and vehicle settings a breeze. Upgrade to the 12.3-inch touchscreen available on higher trims for an even more expansive, feature-rich display. The new Lexus UX also comes with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as standard, allowing you to sync your smartphone and make hands-free calls. 

A mobile Wi-Fi hot spot makes staying connected on the go simple, especially during long trips. Select trims also offer built-in navigation, real-time traffic updates, and intuitive routing. For the ultimate immersive sound experience, opt for the available 10-speaker premium sound system, which delivers crisp, high-quality audio throughout the cabin. You can also keep your devices fully powered with the available wireless charging pad and multiple USB ports in the front and rear seating areas.

2025 Lexus UX vs. Competitors

Before you choose your next vehicle, let’s take a closer look at how the 2025 Lexus UX stacks up against the competition so you can make an informed decision that you’re proud to drive home in. 

2025 Lexus UX vs. Audi Q3

While the Audi Q3 features a sleek, shrunken-Q5 aesthetic and a turbocharged 2.0-liter engine that produces 228 horsepower, it falls short on fuel economy. EPA estimates give the Audi Q3 a rating of 22 mpg in the city and 29 mpg on the highway. By comparison, the Lexus UX delivers an impressive 43 mpg in the city and 41 mpg on the highway with its hybrid powertrain. Both SUVs feature high-quality materials and advanced tech, with a 10.1-inch touch screen available on the Q3. However, drivers note that its lower placement on the dash can be distracting. 

The Lexus UX also offers a bigger available 12.3-inch touchscreen and comes standard with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. When it comes to safety, the UX takes the lead thanks to the Lexus’ Safety System+ 3.0 suite, which  comes standard, while Audi requires upgrades for similar safety features. Overall, the Lexus UX provides better value for efficiency-minded drivers who want all the latest tech and safety options. 

2025 Lexus UX vs. BMW X1

The 2025 Lexus UX and the BMW X1 cater to different types of drivers in the luxury subcompact SUV market, but each option is worth checking out. For a performance focused ride, the BMW X1 offers a turbocharged 2.0-liter engine that produces 241 horsepower, accelerating from 0 to 60 mph in 6.2 seconds. However, this comes at the expense of fuel economy, with ratings of 24 mpg in the city and 33 mpg on the highway. 

The Lexus UX delivers class-leading efficiency with up to 43 mpg in the city and 41 mpg on the highway, making it the better option for eco-conscious drivers. There are also plenty of notable differences inside of each vehicle. The X1 offers a spacious and modern cabin with a curved digital dashboard that houses BMW’s iDrive 9 system. While luxurious, the X1’s infotainment interface can feel more complex than the Lexus UX’s intuitive layout. Once again, the UX also offers more standard advanced safety features, while BMW reserves features such as adaptive cruise control for higher trims.

2025 Lexus UX vs. Mercedes-Benz GLA-Class

Another option you might be considering is the Mercedes-Benz GLA-Class, which features a turbocharged 2.0-liter engine with 221 horsepower and hybrid technology. This setup achieves 26 mpg in the city and 34 mpg on the highway for front-wheel-drive models. While this is respectable, the Lexus UX significantly outperforms the GLA-Class in this area. The GLA’s cabin provides modern styling and dual 10.25-inch screens for gauges and infotainment. However, advanced safety features such as adaptive cruise control and lane-keeping assist require additional packages, while the Lexus UX provides these features as standard with its Safety System+ 3.0 suite.
