Lexus' electric UX has had a massive upgrade, with a battery and range that make it a contender once again. It's well made and good to drive, but the outdated rapid charging lets it down.

Ginny Says

“While it's a perfectly nice car, there's nothing revolutionary about this car and it looks a little behind rivals in terms of charging times, despite the recent upgrade. The real killer is the price though - there's no way the UX is worth more than a Tesla Model 3 or Model Y.”

Nicki Says

“The Lexus UX is a really bold looking car and I can't quite work out if I love it or hate it. What I can't argue with is the warranty. Keep having it serviced at a Lexus dealer (and they are generally lovely, so you would if you could) and the power pack is covered until it's a decade old or has covered 600,000 miles.”


Got questions? We've put together the most frequently-asked topics below. If there's something we haven't answered here or in the review then let us know on our contact page

Is the Lexus UX300e self charging?

No, this is a proper, full-fat electric car. You're going to need to plug it in, but you won't ever need to go to a petrol station again.

How long does it take to charge a Lexus UX300e?

Using a home 7kW wallbox it takes 9 hours and 30 minutes. It can also take a 50kW CHAdeMO rapid charge, taking an hour and a half to get to 80%

How big is the battery in a Lexus UX300e?

After the revamp it's now 72.8kWh, up from 54.35kWh, if you want to be precise. That brings the range up to a level where it doesn't look daft next to rivals.

Is the Lexus UX300e smaller inside than the hybrid?

There's a little less interior room in the back, but the boot is actually bigger by 47 litres compared to 367 litres. That's still not huge for this type of car though.

What's the warranty like on the Lexus UX300e?

Pretty good, especially on the battery. Lexus offers the usual eight-year/100,000 mile warranty covering any battery defects but this is extended to 10 years/600,000 miles if you have a 'battery health check' at each service.
