Used Lexus UX cars for sale

Lexus UX buying guide

What Lexus UX trim levels are there?

The Lexus UX trim level range is a little complicated. There are three main grades – base UX, F-Sport and Takumi – but there are also Premium and Premium Plus packs and a Takumi pack for the F-Sport that adds luxury features.

Every UX comes with LED headlights, Bluetooth and sat nav. The Premium pack adds parking sensors at both ends, a reversing camera, auto wipers and heaters for the steering wheel and front seats. Premium Plus gets all this plus a powered tailgate, wireless phone charging, leather seats, keyless entry and blind-spot monitoring.

F-Sport cars come with 18-inch wheels, exclusive styling tweaks and man-made leather upholstery. F-Sport Premium Plus cars add adaptive suspension, sporty driving modes and the equipment mentioned above.

Takumi and F-Sport Takumi cars benefit from a Mark Levinson premium sound system, upgraded headlights, cooled front seats, a 360-degree parking camera and a head-up display.

Lexus UX interior and technology

Sink into the UX – it doesn’t have the high ride height of many SUVs – and you’ll find high-quality materials that feel like they’ll last the test of time. The dashboard will be familiar if you’re used to Lexus but a little different-feeling if you’re not, but the numerous physical buttons should make it easy to find your way round.

You can control the main screen by touch or by using the mousepad next to the gear lever. This can be fiddly to operate so you might find it easier to stretch out and touch the screen. Newer UXs have Android Auto and wireless Apple CarPlay if you’d rather use your phone’s apps rather than Lexus’ infotainment system.

Lexus UX engine range explained

(Most popular) Lexus UX 250h 2.0 hybrid

The majority of UXs come with a fuel-sipping petrol-electric hybrid engine. Lexus calls its 184hp powertrain ‘self-charging’ because it can’t be plugged in – instead the two electric motors can power the car at low speeds before the 2.0-litre petrol engine kicks in. You can expect up to 53mpg, or slightly less in the rare four-wheel-drive version. Despite its economical billing, the UX is also quite quick off the line.

Lexus UX 300e electric

For maximum quietness and smoothness, there’s a fully electric version called the UX 300e. It has a 196-mile range and can be recharged to 80% at a 50kW charger in under an hour, or in eight hours plugged in at home. The UX 300e is more powerful and quicker than the hybrid.
