The 2026 Lexus TX 500h and RX 500h are the two highest-output hybrid SUVs in the current Lexus lineup, and both use the same core technology: a 2.4 L turbocharged four-cylinder engine paired with a high-output electric motor and the Lexus DIRECT4 all-wheel-drive system. The powertrain architecture is closely related, but the vehicles they power are built for different buyers. The TX 500h is a...
Isn’t it high time you considered a Lexus? After all; you’ve worked hard your whole life, the important stuff – the house, the kids – are well taken care of and maybe it’s time to splurge a little on a slice of luxury from your car.
Here’s the thing, though; with the 2023 Lexus UX, you won’t have to splurge all that much. Lexus’ compact crossover is available starting at just over $41,000, which is just the start. It also comes with a standard hybrid engine and in fact, it is the only luxury crossover in its class to come standard with an electrified powertrain. On the other hand, there's no need to plug the UX, the hybrid powertrain is active all the time and delivers a very impressive average fuel consumption of around 6.0-litres per 100 kilometres.
Despite its impressive efficiency, the new Lexus UX delivers the performance you are looking for from a premium SUV. The 2023 Lexus UX delivers a generous 181 horsepower sent through a continuously variable automatic transmission to all four wheels. That’s right: in addition to being offered with a hybrid powertrain, the new Lexus UX comes standard with all-wheel drive. In other words, it’s great for life in Canada.
You know what else is great for cold Canadian winters? Heated seats and steering wheel, both of which come as standard on the UXh. Then, as things begin to heat up again, you can switch from heated seats to ventilated seats and make use of the standard dual-zone climate control to keep you comfortable. Also inside you’ll find a standard 8.0-inch infotainment display or an optional 12.3” version that’s compatible with the all-new Lexus Interface infotainment that features advanced voice command functionality and a range of connected services.
Not only will you be kept comfortable, but you’ll look good while you’re at it thanks to standard 18” alloy wheels as well as unique colours such as Grecian Water blue and Nori Green Pearl.
There’s a whole lot to like about the new 2023 Lexus UX – you won’t believe it when you see it!
