Lexus has revised the UK model range for its UX 300h compact hybrid SUV, restructuring the model range and adding in new equipment and safety features.

On sale now, priced from £38,095, the new line-up is structured around five trim levels: Premium, F Sport Design, F Sport Design Tech, F Sport and Takumi. All models are now also front-wheel drive.

Changes include upgrades to the entry-level Premium specification, which gains enhanced door mirrors that are electrically adjustable, heated and have an integrated blind spot monitor. Inside, the steering wheel and shift lever now have leather trim and a wireless phone charger is provided as standard.

Safety updates include a Driver Monitor on all UX 300h models. Using a camera mounted above the steering wheel, this keeps a constant check on the driver’s condition. If it detects that they have lost concentration through being tired or unwell, it triggers visual and audible alerts. The system is linked to the car’s active safety systems, so that should the driver fail to respond, the car can be brought smoothly to a controlled halt with the hazard lights activated (Emergency Driving Stop).

Other standard equipment on the Premium model includes chrome roof rails, LED front fog lights, 17-inch alloy wheels, smart entry and start, heated front seats, parking sensors, automatic headlight levelling and the Lexus Link Connect multimedia system with 9.8-inch touchscreen. The Lexus Safety System+ safety and driver assistance features are also included.

The F Sport Design and F Sport Design Tech specifications are unchanged, apart from the introduction of the Driver Monitor.

The F Sport Design builds on the Premium grade with 18-inch alloys, a heated steering wheel, rear privacy glass and Tahara high-quality synthetic leather upholstery and steering wheel trim.

The Tech version adds a power-operated back door, Lexus Link Pro multimedia with an embedded navigation system (in addition to cloud-based route planning) and 12.3-inch touchscreen and a 12.3-inch driver’s display.

The F Sport model now features a multi-illumination entry welcome system in addition to its established features, including F Sport-dedicated steering wheel with paddle shifts, aluminium scuff plates, front seats and leather upholstery. Other details include power front seat adjustment, Adaptive Variable Suspension, Active Sound Control and an addition Sport Plus drive mode.

The new entry lighting system is also part of the updated Takumi specification. As befits the luxury flagship of the range, this model comes with a wealth of comfort and convenience features, including a memory setting for the door mirrors, heated steering wheel, smooth leather upholstery, heated and ventilated front seats, head-up display and 13-speaker Mark Levinson premium audio system.

The UX 300h is powered by a full hybrid system that develops 199hp and delivers 0-62mph in 8.3 seconds with official WLTP fuel economy of 53.2-56.4mpg and 113-118g/km CO2 emissions, according to model grade.
