The fifth-generation hybrid system
For the 2025 model year, the new Lexus UX 300h is powered by the fifth-generation Lexus Hybrid System, which pairs the inline four-cylinder 2.0-liter gasoline engine with two electric motor generators through a plenary-type continuous variable transmission.
A new transaxle has also been adopted, enabling higher output of the front (83 kW) and rear (30 kW) motors. A total of 196 horsepower is produced by the electric motors and the internal combustion engine.
Lexus also adopted the use of shift-by-wire technology that converts shift operations into electric signals on the 2025 UX 300h. This system enables a quicker and more seamless shifting experience. The model hits 60 mph from 0 in just 7.9 seconds and 8.0 seconds for the AWD and FWD grades respectively.
An option of an E-Four in-house built all-wheel drive system is available across all grades. This new system places a permanent synchronous motor at the rear axle for near instantaneous drove force application.

Exterior design of the 2025 Lexus UX 300h
The front of the new 2025 Lexus UXh features the iconic Lexus spindle grille, featuring a block-shaped mesh pattern with individual elements. The headlamp design completes the UXh’s face with LED daytime running lights arranged in an arrowhead motif above the headlights to complement the Lexus L-shaped lighting signature.
The vehicle’s basic form flows out from the lines of the spindle grille to envelop the cabin. Crisp, prominent sculpted surfaces, and dramatically flared front and rear fenders reflect the robust inspiration, while an aerodynamic profile, large wheels pushed to the corners, and an impressive front fascia create the agile, sporty stance.
At the rear is a combination of lamps that illuminate, as well as add beauty to the model. The new features a unique Aero Stabilizing Blade Lights which begins at the top of the fenders and span the rear of the vehicle, projecting a distinctive nighttime signature formed by a sequence of 120 LEDs tapering toward the center. The new design aside from adding beauty to the model, also reduces turbulence and lift, improving its overall stability. A wing-type spoiler available at the rear of the roof, contributes to the vehicle’s quietness, fuel efficiency, and aerodynamics.

The structure of the new 2025 Lexus UX300h
The new 2025 Lexus UX grades are built on the high-strength global platform to offer outstanding handling agility, quiet ride, and comfort. Extensive use of high-tensile steel, high-strength adhesives, and laser screw welding results in a highly rigid structure, an essential foundation for helping to achieve sporty handling and luxurious ride comfort.
By using aluminum for the side doors, fenders, and hood and composite materials for the tailgate, the UX has a low center of gravity at 23.4 inches. As a result, the UXh delivers a secure, agile feeling normally associated with lower sport hatches.
The MacPherson strut front suspension and trailing arm double wishbone type rear suspension, both mounted to sub-frames, are specially tuned to deliver a combination of agility and comfort. Carefully refined details such as the quality of the damper oil, oil seals, and friction control in the shock absorbers help make a positive impact on ride quality.
Active Cornering Assist (ACA), a function integrated with Vehicle Stability Control (VSC), helps the vehicle trace the driver’s desired line through a turn by applying some brake control on the inside wheels, suppressing the tendency to understeer. As a result, the UXh drives through corners with greater precision while maintaining stability.
