The car will have a broad lineup of trim levels available, including two F SPORT variants.
The UX 250h will be available only as a hybrid in the U.S.

Lexus is back with its 2024 model of the UX 250h, maintaining its dynamic drive and luxurious options that it had in previous years. Here in the U.S., the 2024 Lexus UX 250h is offered exclusively as a hybrid, buttressing the brand’s continued work toward creating a more carbon-neutral world.

Elegance in Motion: Unveiling the Aerodynamic Mastery of the Lexus UX 250h

The exterior design of the Lexus UX 250h is truly captivating. The signature spindle grille features a mesmerizing block-shape mesh pattern that radiates from the central Lexus emblem. The headlamp design perfectly complements the front with its sleek LED daytime running lights arranged in an arrowhead motif. The rear lights are equally impressive, boasting a distinctive nighttime signature created by a sequence of 120 LEDs tapering toward the center.

This car’s sleek design not only looks stunning but also embraces aerodynamics and stability. The wheel arch moldings protect the body from stray road gravel and channel airflow over their edges to reduce turbulence and lift, boosting the vehicle’s stability. The Aero Stabilizing Blade Lights begin at the top of the rear fenders and go across the rear, guiding airflow around the rear of the car. This design also reduces turbulence and lift. A wing-type spoiler at the rear edge of the roof and the flat underbody combine to increase the vehicle’s aerodynamics and fuel efficiency.

Of course, practicality is also a key feature of the UX 250h, including the fact that all models will come available with a power back door that’s paired with a kick sensor.

The cabin has a human-first design, with its low instrument panel design, slim A-pillar moldings, and carefully placed USB ports for device charging. As for comfort, the UX 250h offers eight-way power adjustable front seats with lumbar support. The Premium model even comes with heated and ventilated seats.

When it comes to technology and convenience features, the UX 250h doesn’t disappoint. The Lexus Interface multimedia system offers either a standard 8-inch or optional 12.3-inch touchscreen display with user-friendly controls and clear information. Drive Connect, Intelligent Assistant, Remote Connect, Safety Connect, and Service Connect provide a range of connected services and convenience features to make your driving experience even more enjoyable.
