LUXURY ELEVATED:

LEXUS UX 250h UNVEILS EXCITING UPGRADES

Enhanced multimedia, stylish design and advanced safety features make the UX 250h irresistible

Lexus is elevating the appeal of its popular UX compact urban crossover with a series of upgrades for the entire UX 250h range, featuring full self-charging hybrid capabilities.

Multimedia System Upgrade:

The UX now boasts a new and improved multimedia system with enhanced functionality, a larger 12.3-inch touch screen, and faster performance. This system offers seamless connectivity and supports wireless Apple Carplay and Android Auto for a more convenient user experience.

Bi-Tone Paint Option F SPORT:

The UX 250h F SPORT now comes with a stylish bi-tone paintwork option, adding a touch of sophistication to its sporty profile.

Adaptive Variable Suspension Standard on F SPORT:

The UX 250h F SPORT now includes the Adaptive Variable Suspension (AVS) as a standard feature, ensuring precise handling and smooth rides with continuous damping force adjustments.

Lexus Safety System+ Enhancements:

The UX lineup has been equipped with improved capabilities in the Lexus Safety System+. Notably, Intersection Turning Assist enhances safety during turns at intersections, while Emergency Steering Assist helps the driver avoid obstacles without leaving the traffic lane. The all-speed dynamic cruise control now features Curve Speed Reduction, automatically adjusting the vehicle’s speed to match road bends.

Self-Charging Hybrid Performance:

Powered by a 2.0-Litre petrol engine and an electric motor, the UX 250h delivers a total system output of 135kW, resulting in an impressive 0-100km/h sprint time of 8.5 seconds. Additionally, it achieves exceptional fuel efficiency, with figures as low as 4.5-litres/100km combined and CO2 emissions of just 103g/km.

A Winning Formula:

The UX has been a sales success for Lexus in South Africa, capturing the hearts of younger customers and first-time luxury segment buyers. As an all-hybrid range since 2021, the electrified powertrain options have been a key selling point.

Combining SUV Flexibility and Hatchback Driving Dynamics:

Built on Lexus’ GA-C global architecture platform, the UX provides the best of both worlds—a secure and practical SUV experience with the driving dynamics of a hatchback. The car’s low center of gravity, rigid structure, and responsive handling make it enjoyable to drive, while its spacious cabin and smooth ride cater to urban explorers.

Exquisite Interior and Exterior Design:

The UX offers various interior trims and colors, including the new Hazel Brown upholstery option. The F SPORT model introduces a movable virtual ring instrument meter inspired by the Lexus LFA supercar, along with a distinctive cabin featuring sports seats, leatherwrapped steering wheel, and aluminum pedals.

Advanced Connectivity and Multimedia System:

With a focus on seamless connectivity, the UX’s multimedia system now boasts a 12.3-inch display, intuitive touch screen controls, and cloud-based navigation. Smartphone integration through Apple CarPlay and Android Auto makes staying connected effortless, and software updates can be delivered over-the-air.

Enhanced Safety Features:

In addition to the upgraded Lexus Safety System+, the UX 250h F SPORT benefits from rear performance shock absorbers and front and rear performance rods, enhancing chassis response and steering feel.

Pricing and Warranty:

The UX models are available at competitive prices, starting from R 857 900 for the EXgrade and R 946 200 for the SE-grade. The UX 250h F SPORT is priced at R1 005 200, while the F SPORT Bitone grade is offered at R 1 016 400. All UX models come with a class-leading 7-years/105,000km Warranty and Full Maintenance Plan, along with 15,000km service intervals and an additional 8-years/195,000km hybrid battery warranty.

With these wide-ranging upgrades, the Lexus UX 250h continues to be a top choice for discerning drivers seeking a perfect blend of luxury, performance, and sustainability in a compact SUV package.
