Lexus' first pure electric vehicle is well rounded and decent at most things. It's not spectacular in any way, but it could be usefully cheaper than a Tesla to run.

Ginny Says

“There's nothing revolutionary about this car and it's already looking a little behind rivals in terms of charging times and range. But Lexus reckon it will cost almost £100 less per month less to own and run than a Tesla Model 3. Would that be enough to tempt you?”

Nicki Says

“The Lexus UX is a really bold looking car and I can't quite work out if I love it or hate it. What I can't argue with is the warranty. Keep having it serviced at a Lexus dealer (and they are generally lovely, so you would if you could) and the power pack is covered until it's a decade old or has covered 600,000 miles.”

Is the Lexus UX300e self charging?

No, this is a proper, full-fat electric car. You're going to need to plug it in, but you won't ever need to go to a petrol station again.

How long does it take to charge a Lexus UX300e?

Using a home 7kW wallbox it takes 8 hours and 15 minutes. A three-pin plugged 'granny' charger takes 19 hours. It can also take a 50kW CHAdeMO rapid charge, taking 50 minutes to get to 80%

How big is the battery in a Lexus UX300e?

It's 54.35kWh, if you want to be precise. That's only a little larger than you'd find in a car like the Vauxhall Corsa-e but keeps the price low. A Polestar 2 is around the same price and has 78kWh though. 

Is the Lexus UX300e smaller inside than the hybrid?

There's a little less interior room in the back, but the boot is actually bigger by 47 litres compared to 367 litres. That's still not huge for this type of car though.

What's the warranty like on the Lexus UX300e?

Pretty good, especially on the battery. Lexus offers the usual eight-year/100,000 mile warranty covering any battery defects but this is extended to 10 years/600,000 miles if you have a 'battery health check' at each service.
