Lexus has replaced the battery of its UX 300e, resulting in a significant increase in range. Unfortunately, the price of the electric SUV has also increased by several thousand euros.
The updated version of the Lexus UX 300e has just been added to the manufacturer’s catalog. Prices start at €56,900 for the base model, representing a €7,000 increase compared to the previous model year! From now on, the Japanese SUV costs €4,000 more than a Tesla Model Y Long Range. Despite the improvements, it will likely have a hard time standing out from the crowd.
The battery capacity of the UX 300e has increased by nearly 20 kWh, reaching 72.8 kWh. The range is now estimated at 450 km in WLTP mixed cycle. This compares to 313 km for the previous model. The motor has not been modified and still delivers 204 hp, with a torque of 300 Nm.
Other small modifications have been made to the vehicle. New suspension settings are expected to improve handling and rigidity. On board, the central screen becomes touch-enabled and increases in size by a few inches (up to 12.3 inches on higher trims). New features have been added to the multimedia system, now including a voice assistant. Navigation has also been improved thanks to a cloud connection. Additional driving assist features and some small updates to the trim are also part of this refresh.
The first deliveries of the 2023 Lexus UX 300e will take place in spring.
