Yahoo Autos 2025 Lexus UX 300h more powerful, more expensive, starts at $37,490
Lexus uploaded the updated UX to its configurator, the more powerful compact hybrid crossover renamed UX 300h from UX 250h. The larger number brings larger output from Toyota's fifth-generation hybrid powertrain, the same used in the latest Toyota Prius. A 2.0-liter four-cylinder heart gets help from a pair of motor-generators, a continuously variable transmission (CVT), and a lithium-ion battery instead of the current UX 250h's nickel-metal hydride pack. Lexus also fitted a new hybrid transaxle to bump the system's output to 196 horsepower, up from 181 in the 2024 car.
The additional potency results in higher MSRPs compared to the 2024 UX 250h, figures rising anywhere from $800 to $2,290. The prices, including the $1,150 destination charge, and their differences from 2023, are:
Base: $37,490 ($800)
Premium: $40,690 ($1,540)
F Sport Design: $41,440 ($2,290)
F Sport Handling: $45,955 ($1,835)
