Lexus has launched a new version of the UX 250h in the United Kingdom, dubbed the Premium Sport Edition. Based on the UX Premium Pack grade, it features a black grille, side mirror caps, roof rails, headlamp units and five-spoke 18-inch alloy wheels.
The interior features black Tahara
upholstery, an alternative to real leather, and also includes a 7-inch display
screen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration, reversing
camera, Intelligent Clearance Sonar system, auto-dimming rearview mirror,
heated seats and rear privacy glass.
The Lexus Safety System+ comes as
standard, providing peace of mind to drivers with several assistance systems
such as Pre-Collision System with daytime and nighttime pedestrian and daytime
cyclist detection, Lane Trace Assist, Road Sign Assist, Dynamic Radar Cruise
Control and automatic high beams. Power is supplied by a hybrid powertrain that
combines a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine with one or two electric motors in 2WD
and 4WD spec respectively, pumping out 181 hp in both variants.
