Since its introduction, the UX 300h compact hybrid SUV has won the hearts of many European buyers with its significant power increase, faster acceleration and all-round efficiency improvements over the outgoing UX 250h. Now, Lexus has revised the UK model range for 2026 to create a UX 300h line-up that is more focused on current customer tastes and preferences.
What’s changed? Read on as we walk you through the five trim levels, new equipment, and safety features of the 2026 Lexus UX 300h.
2026 Lexus UX 300h Premium
The entry point to UX 300h ownership is Premium grade. Key specifications of this enhanced grade include:
- Dark-finish 17-inch alloy wheels, heated front seats, front and rear parking sensors, chrome-finish roof rails, LED front fog lights, rain-sensing windscreen wipers, electrically adjustable heated door mirrors with Blind Spot Monitor, Driver Monitor, wireless device charger, and smart entry for the front doors and tailgate
All UX 300h models now include a Driver Monitor system which uses a camera mounted above the steering wheel to keep an eye on the driver’s condition. If it detects that the driver has lost concentration through being tired or unwell, it triggers visual and audible alerts. The system is linked to the car’s active safety systems, so that should the driver fail to respond, the vehicle can be brought smoothly to a controlled halt with the hazard lights activated.
F Sport Design grade
F Sport Design grade builds on the core specification seen above to provide the following additional features:
- 18-inch F Sport alloy wheels with run-flat tyres, F Sport exterior styling details, Tahara synthetic leather upholstery and steering wheel trim, Rear Cross Traffic Alert with auto-brake, LED front fog lights and cornering lights, rear privacy glass, and automatic flashing rear hazard lights safety function
