Upgraded 2023 UX 300e gets more driving range
Ahead of its local arrival in 2023, the all-electric Lexus UX 300e compact SUV has received significant updates including an extended 450km driving range.Following the recent update for the UX 200 and UX 250h variants, the UX 300e's newly designed battery increases capacity from 54.4kWh to 72.8kWh, extending driving range by more than 40% from the previous 315km on the WLTP cycle.Peak power output remains the same as before, with 150kW of power and 300Nm of torque, keeping the UX 300e as the fastest and most powerful member of the UX family.The battery pack remains positioned low in the floor, not only reducing the centre of gravity to improve handling, but it also acts as a sound barrier, helping to suppress noise, vibration and harshness (NVH).As with the UX 200 and UX 250h, the UX 300e also benefits from a strengthened chassis with engineers adding 20 spot weld points throughout the body for greater torsional rigidity.
