Experience New 2021 Lexus UX 300e Electric SUV
The Lexus UX 300e is based on an adapted version of Toyota’s TNGA GA-C platform, which is also found under the petrol hybrid UX and recently revised Toyota C-HR. Lexus has fitted a range of additional chassis bracing and a redesigned suspension system to support the extra weight of the electric powertrain. It’s powered by a 54.3kWh lithium-ion battery pack, which feeds an electric motor mounted on the front axle. The system develops 201bhp and 300Nm of torque, which Lexus says is enough for a 0–62mph time of 7.5 seconds and a maximum range of 196 miles. Lexus’s pure-electric powertrain also offers support for 50kW DC fast-charging, which the company says will allow the UX 300e’s battery pack to recover an 80 per cent charge in just 52 minutes. When plugged into a domestic wallbox charger, the crossover’s battery pack will fully recharge in around eight hours.
