Overview

Bringing the Creative Urban Explorer concept to life, the UX surprises and excites with a bold expression of the Lexus YET philosophy that combines contradictory elements to create new value in a fusion of advanced functionality with beautiful design. ‘Creative’ aims for an imaginative and refined lifestyle; ‘Urban’ evokes a design that stands out in the city; and ‘Explore’ embraces fresh opportunities and challenges, expanding the horizons on life.

Interior Design

The human-­centered interior blends ergonomics with design in a driver-­focused cockpit that provides a secure feeling while visually creating an open look. It supports easy operation and excellent visibility to boost driving pleasure, and a snug yet roomy space for passengers to enjoy a reassuring and comfortable ride.

Exterior Design

Compact and taut, the dynamic exterior flows from the distinctive Lexus spindle grille into the three-­dimensional forms of the fenders flaring out from the cabin center, expressing powerful driving performance and secure robustness with an eye-­catching appeal.

2.0-Litre 4-Cylinder Engine

The advanced 2.0-litre inline 4-cylinder engine utilises high-speed combustion technology to deliver powerful performance together with exceptional fuel efficiency and environmental friendliness. The amount of motor assist and engine rpm were optimised to deliver a linear acceleration feeling, with the engine speed synchronised with increasing vehicle speed to deliver an immediate and continuous acceleration feeling.

SRS (Supplemental Restraint System) airbags

The UX features dual-­stage SRS airbags (Front seats), SRS knee airbags (Front seats), SRS side airbags (Front seats) and SRS curtain shield airbags (Front and rear seats).

F Sport Design Features

Building on the secure powerful presence of the UX, the F SPORT pursues a low, wide form that evokes sports performance at a glance. It integrates exclusive F SPORT design features that include the mesh radiator grille, front and rear lower bumper garnish, 18 inch aluminum wheels and select exterior colors. The sporty feeling is amplified in the driver’s cockpit with its exclusive sports seats, TFT meters, clock, steering wheel with paddle shifters, shift knob and pedals, and realized in the exhilarating performance of the specially tuned suspension, AVS, performance dampers and Active Sound Control.

Design

Compact and taut, the dynamic exterior flows from the distinctive Lexus spindle grille into the three-­dimensional forms of the fenders flaring out from the cabin center, expressing powerful driving performance and secure robustness with an eye-­catching appeal.

F SPORT front seats

The exclusive sports seats evoke the sharp design of the LC’s sports seats. An ‘integrated foaming’ structure contributes to the excellent fit and holding performance. Optimized for the F SPORT, these seats combine outstanding comfort with excellent support for the body during sports driving.

Direct Shift-CVT

The Direct Shift-­CVT delivers the smooth and fuel-­efficient driving of a conventional CVT, with a direct and strong launch acceleration feel using an additional launch gear. A wide gear ratio range and linear acceleration feeling contribute to driving pleasure, achieved by synchronizing the engine speed and vehicle speed with the driver’s operation. In conjunction with drive mode control, it realizes responsive performance to suit various driving styles, from smooth driving with excellent fuel economy to sporty driving with fast shifting.

LTA (LANE TRACING ASSIST)

When driving on expressways or automobile-only roads with lane lines using Dynamic Radar Cruise Control, the system helps assist the steering operation required to keep the vehicle in its lane. Enhanced recognition and control performance enable assistance on gentle curves, smoothly keeping the vehicle in the centre of its lane with minimal swaying.

F SPORT meter

The exclusive F SPORT meter lets you select from three different display layouts, with a central tachometer, tachometer and analog speedometer, or simple digital speedometer with a racecar meter motif focused on sports performance. A digital speedometer and the shift position are displayed in the centre of all three layouts.

Performance

The Hybrid System was developed to deliver a high-level balance between high output and excellent fuel economy, offering driving performance characteristic of an electric vehicle. The combination of a highly efficient 2.0-litre inline engine with a high-output motor and lithium-ion battery enhances acceleration feel, sporty control for driving tailored to the driver’s preferences. It enhances the deceleration range controlled by accelerator pedal operation to reduce the burden of brake control, and contributes to smooth, responsive and comfortable driving.

DYNAMIC RADAR CRUISE CONTROL (WITH FULL SPEED RANGE)

Dynamic Radar Cruise Control uses radar and camera sensors to maintain speed and adjust distance from preceding vehicles. It provides preliminary acceleration for overtaking and lane changes above 80km/h and decelerates during curves, enhancing driver convenience.

EPS (Electric Power Steering)

Featuring a compact and highly rigid format, the column assist-­type EPS delivers the sharp response expected of a Lexus. Adopting a large column shaft enhanced torsional rigidity, boosting both steering response and easy operation, contributing to responsive handling that instantly and crisply responds to driver inputs with a smooth and sure steering feel.

REAR PERFORMANCE DAMPER

The application of a rear performance damper delivers exhilarating F SPORT performance, quickly absorbing body flex and vibrations from the road while driving to heighten handling stability and smooth ride comfort. Together with increasing the rigidity of suspension components, it enhances straight-line driving stability for accurate, stable handling and outstanding comfort in normal driving and dynamic performance and stability in high-speed driving.
