About The Lexus UX Hybrid

Shopping for a smaller vehicle that is also comfortable and well-appointed can be a difficult task. But the Lexus UX Hybrid is here to prove that not only can it be done, it can be done well, and with a generous helping of style. With its hybrid drivetrain, the UX Hybrid also comes with excellent fuel efficiency, as well as peppy low-end power that makes for smooth city driving that won’t empty your fuel tank. There is available all-wheel drive for tackling nasty winter weather, and the UX Hybrid comes with the Lexus Safety System+ 2.5 suite of safety and driver’s aid technology. From the outside, the UX Hybrid sets itself apart with bold styling, as well as touches like 18-inch wheels and all-LED exterior lighting. Inside, you’ll find a luxury interior made with high-quality materials. There are two premium stereo options, and an available 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen that makes it easy to navigate. But the biggest strength of the UX Hybrid is that it’s a city-sized vehicle that is just as comfortable on long highway trips, a very rare thing indeed.


What the Critics Say

"Inside, Lexus ensures that passengers know this is a luxury vehicle thanks to its attractive layout and posh materials. It also boasts standard features that include dual-zone climate control and power-adjustable front seats." — Car & Driver

"It's one of the most fuel-efficient SUVs on the market, and its interior is upscale and packed with tech and comfort goodies. The front seats are comfortable and supportive, too." — U.S. News


What's New For 2024

The UX Hybrid is exceptionally well suited to its purpose, and Lexus has therefore not changed much for 2024. The one change is that there is now a hands-free power liftgate on the options list. It’s also standard on the UX 250h Premium trim.

Practicality And Utility

Practicality is the key to a good crossover, and the UX Hybrid sets a high bar in this area. The power liftgate with available hands-free operation, as well as the split-folding back seat, make it easy to load and unload cargo. While the 34.2-foot turning circle makes the UX Hybrid one of the most maneuverable four-wheeled vehicles available. The hybrid drivetrain in the UX Hybrid is another important feature, since city driving can take a toll on mileage ratings - even in smaller vehicles. But that isn’t a problem with the UX Hybrid, which gets 43 mpg city and 41 mpg highway**, while still being able to deliver 181 total system horsepower. And when it comes to hybrid drivetrains, many of the vehicles equipped with them aren’t available with all-wheel drive, especially smaller vehicles. But AWD is available as an option for the UX Hybrid, and on any trim.

Lexus UX Hybrid Interior

Full Luxury Interior

Settle into the eight-way power-adjustable seats upholstered in soft NuLuxe® and you’ll immediately see that the UX Hybrid is no ordinary city vehicle. The seats, which are available with heating and ventilation as well, are surrounded by high-quality materials and the latest in tech. A Lexus six-speaker Premium Sound System comes standard, and a 10-speaker version is available, and standard on the UX 250h F-SPORT Handling trim. With this comes the Lexus Interface system, which is controlled using either a standard 8-inch touchscreen or an available 12.3-inch unit. Whichever one of these you choose, wireless Android Auto™ and Apple CarPlay® integration comes standard. Advanced safety features are another thing luxury vehicle buyers look for when shopping, and just like the rest of the Lexus lineup, the UX Hybrid delivers on this promise. The UX Hybrid comes with the Lexus Safety System+ 2.5 suite of safety and driver aid systems. This includes Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist, Road Sign Assist, All-Speed Dynamic Radar Cruise Control, and Intelligent High Beams.

Eye-Catching Design

Looking at the UX Hybrid, it’s easy to see how well the design language from bigger Lexus models works on a smaller vehicle. This includes the all-LED external lighting that comes standard, and which the UX Hybrid shows off with signature Lexus daytime running lights. For an extra touch of style, the UX Hybrid has 18-inch wheels standard, even though those usually come at an extra cost if they’re available at all in this segment. Additionally, special F-SPORT wheels are standard on F-SPORT trims. Additional F-SPORT styling touches include unique front and rear bumpers, a black roof, and black roof rails. Inside, you have the option of a perforated leather-trimmed F-SPORT steering wheel and shift knob (standard versions are also leather-trimmed, but not perforated), as well as F-SPORT bolstered front seats. Aluminum pedals and front aluminum door-sill scuff panels round out the F-SPORT look with a bit of extra flair.
