Recently, Lexus officially announced that it will remodel its compact model Lexus-UX. The facelifted Lexus is based on the hybrid UX300 model, basically abolishing the pure internal combustion engine version of the UX200, and in the future, it will definitely focus on the UX300E model, gradually fitting the development of pure electric models.
According to the current schedule, the all-new UX300H is expected to go on sale in January 2024, with the UX300E model to be released in the same month.
In this facelift, Lexus has focused on body rigidity and handling, and has updated the role of the Lexus Safety System+ system, another 12The large 3-inch instrument screen and updated cabin design also further enhance the attractiveness of the UX as an urban compact model.
In terms of appearance, although there are not many changes on the surface, Lexus has put some effort into the details, such as the new car uses more aerodynamic packages, stronger suspension and so on.
In addition, in terms of comfort, the new car also uses a braking force distribution control system to improve the linearity of braking and avoid the impact on the passenger ride feeling when pressing the brake pedal too hard.
In addition, in terms of throttle control, engineers have also adjusted, when the throttle is pressed deeply, the engine will have a standby speed in the high rev range to meet the driver's reacceleration needs and improve the acceleration quality and controllability.
In terms of quietness, in addition to optimizing the selection of sound insulation materials, the engineers also added the use of sound-absorbing and shock-absorbing materials in areas such as the instrument panel and rear wheel arches to reduce the noise of the vehicle when driving.
In terms of power, taking the UX300H model as an example, it is equipped with a new-generation hybrid system consisting of a 20-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine (maximum output 152ps 6000rpm, peak torque 19.).2kg·m 4400 5200rpm) + front motor (maximum output 83 kW, peak torque 206 Nm) + rear motor (maximum output 30 kW, peak torque 84 Nm).
In terms of fuel consumption, the UX300H also achieves a fuel consumption of 26 in the 2WD model in WLTP mode3（f sport 24.7) km liters, and the fuel consumption of the AWD model is 250～25.2（f sport 23.4) Excellent result of km liters.
In order to ensure driving efficiency and safety in summer or winter, the UX300E model is also equipped with a battery thermostat system to ensure the temperature of the battery in extreme weather, ensuring maximum battery performance and battery life. According to engineers' calculations, the charging efficiency under constant temperature is at least 25% higher than that under extreme temperature conditions, and the UX300E can also achieve a range of 512km on a single charge.
In terms of configuration, the UX300 model uses a socket in the car (AC100V·1500W with emergency power supply system), and supports external discharge, if it is a scene such as driving to camping, then the UX300 can support the power demand of electrical appliances within 1500W, which is a lot more convenient for using the car.
