The freshening of the Lexus UX adds Lexus' new home-baked infotainment system on a larger touch screen, as well as enhanced safety features.
The 2023 UX, which goes on sale this summer, will continue to be powered by a hybrid powertrain with a 2.0-litre engine mated to a continuously variable transmission, producing 181 hp. Equipped with a permanent-magnet, electric-drive motor with EV mode, the UX has an estimated fuel efficiency rating of 5.7L/ 6.2L/ 6.0L /100 km (city/highway/combined).
The nonhybrid model, with a 2.0-litre inline four-cylinder engine with 169 hp, was dropped in Canada after the 2021 model year.
