Since the end of 2019, motor racing fans can find the Lexus UX 250h in authorized centers of the firm.
This C-segment SUV is manufactured on the new GA-C platform and its measurements are: 4.49 meters long by 1.84 wide and 1.54 high , with a wheelbase of 2.64 meters . It does not stand out, especially, for its interior habitability; This aspect compensates with a premium design, superior finishes and the use of high-quality materials for its trim. After a few months on the market and more than 3,200 units registered, the UX 250h incorporates a trim level called Exectuive Plus . This intermediate equipment provides the SUV with more driving and safety assistance systems and some aesthetic details.
The self-charging hybrid system of the Lexus UX 250h offers a combined power of 184 hp. It achieves this by combining a 152 hp, two-liter, four-cylinder, Atkinson cycle operation petrol engine, along with an 80 kW (109 hp) permanent magnet electric block. Many manufacturers rely on the lithium-ion battery, but Lexus prefers the reliability of nickel and metal hydride. The fourth generation Lexus Hybrid Drive system has a system that combines battery charging and navigation. In this way, the computer is able to manage the use of energy depending on the route we are going to make, studying the slopes, areas of curves or steep descents.
Toyota’s premium firm fights against its very workhorse, the automatic CVT. This transmission tends to be noisy and gives the feeling of not being truly connected to the engine, raising the revs without transmitting force to the propeller. It has improved a lot since the first Toyota Prius and with the launch of the UX 250h they have gone one step further, without ever showing the smoothness of a double clutch box.
The Executive Plus finish replaces the current Executive, incorporating driving and safety assistance systems such as rear traffic warning and braking and anti-collision radar . In addition, you can quickly identify it by its specific 18-inch wheels and the rear windows tinted with UV protection.
