REVIEW: The electric Lexus UX300e has received a much-needed update with new infotainment and more range, so how does it stack up to rivals?
Once under way, the Lexus drives comfortably and is happiest at moderate speeds. Dynamically, it’s a slight improvement on the last car, but its limited body control hampers it through tight bends at higher speeds.
You’d never call it throttle adjustable - though, if you enter a corner and plant your foot, the UX's electronic torque vectoring will guide the car in towards the apex more than you were expecting. Of course, driving with lead feet causes the range to drop like a lava ball in ice; so you tend to relax and take your time, matching the brief that Lexus clearly wants to fulfil.
The UX will take the kids to school in comfort and leave you feeling unruffled on the other side. In pursuit of that, the air conditioning can even produce water vapour to keep your skin hydrated. With pliant suspension that rough Tarmac struggles to unsettle, light steering and a smooth, unintimidating power delivery, it arguably fulfils the brief of ‘small electric crossover’ better than plenty of its rivals.
may be comparably cosseting, but the Lexus has a slightly higher claimed range, and costs £3655 less in basic trim.Talking of price, Lexus expects mid-level Premium-pack cars, starting at £50,995, to be the best-sellers.
At first glance, then, you could consider the UX 300e to be just a mild update over the last car. But a short time with it has proven that a larger battery, revised suspension and new infotainment system makes an already good small electric SUV one of the best players on the field, because it fulfils the role customers expect, to an exemplary level.
