The Lexus UX 250h is a small hybrid SUV that comes packed with features and provides a fuel-efficient ride. The 250h was a new model for the 2019 year, so the 2020 edition has only a few changes. All trim levels now include Android Auto; plus, blind-spot monitoring comes standard with the Luxury trim level and is available with the Premium Package on the lower trims. Get to know the 2020 Lexus UX 250h better with our details listed below.
The Models
The base 250h has 18-inch alloy wheels, LED taillights, LED running lights, and Bi-LED headlights. A step up to the 250h Sport gets you sporty 18-inch wheels, a sport-tuned suspension, and a mesh-pattern grille. The Luxury trim comes with a power moonroof, a hands-free power liftgate with a kick sensor, heated side door mirrors with a memory function, and rain-sensing windshield wipers, in addition to all the lower trim features.
The Powertrain
Power for the 250h comes from a combination of a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gas engine and two electric motors. Together, these generate 181 horsepower. All 250h Lexus models have all-wheel drive, with a third electric motor near the rear axle to power the rear wheels. The hybrid system makes the 250h quicker and more fuel-efficient than the regular model.
A continuously variable automatic transmission comes standard on all trim levels and works with the powertrain to provide a smooth ride. Lexus tunes the suspension in the 250h to make sure it softens bumps in the road, and the light steering makes it easy to handle and maneuver in tight spots.
The Technology
All Lexus 250h trims come standard with Bluetooth, voice commands, and the Lexus Multimedia system with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, a 7-inch touch screen, and 4G Wi-Fi. All trims also have Amazon Alexa, four USB ports, and the Enform Remote App. The Luxury trim adds a 10.3-inch touch screen and a navigation system.
The Luxury Cabin Features
Just as you expect from a Lexus, the cabin of the 250h comes packed with comfort and luxury features. The base trim has synthetic leather upholstery, eight-way power-adjustable front seats, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, and dual-zone automatic climate control. The F Sport has sport front seats and a sporty steering wheel, while the Luxury keeps the regular front seats and adds heat and ventilation. It also comes with driver’s seat memory settings.
The Safety Features
All the 250h trims have a rearview camera system, 10 airbags, and the Lexus Safety System+ 2.0. This group of safety systems includes automatic high beams, forward collision warning, traffic sign recognition, automatic emergency braking, and pedestrian detection. It also comes with adaptive cruise control, a lane tracing assist system, lane keep assist, and lane departure warning. The Luxury adds blind-spot monitoring, and optional safety features include front and rear parking sensors, a head-up display, and front and rear cross-traffic alert.
