Video Summary
Sure, here is a summary of the video review:- The Lexus UX 300e is the entry point to electric Lexus motoring in Australia.
- The luxury base model is $79,990 plus on-road costs, totaling approximately $80,000 before on-road costs.
- The base model is equipped with full LED lighting, 17-inch alloy wheels, vinyl interior trim, and a 12.3-inch touch screen with wireless Apple CarPlay. Android Auto is wired only.
- It features digital instruments and heated front and rear seats, and cooled front seats.
- The car's base model is well-equipped with passenger-friendly features and standard gear.
- The Lexus UX 300e is not the most affordable electric SUV.
- The Volvo XC40 electric or C40 Coupe is one viable alternative. The single-motor versions are rear-wheel drive. The pricing is comparable to the Lexus UX 300e and the XC40 is more practical.
- The Hyundai Ioniq 5 is another alternative that is larger, a mainstream brand, and starts at a lower price.
- For a premium interior, the Genesis GV60 is a third option.
- The car is bigger than it looks, almost 4.5 meters long.
- Proportions and a small glasshouse make it look smaller.
- It provides a decent boot space of 414 liters.
- Interior is predictably Lexus. All versions of the UX 300e come with an electric tailgate.
- While roomy and comfortable in the front seats, the back seats are not very spacious.
- A bag for the charge cables sits in the cargo area.
- The electric motor’s Power and torque output are good.
- Charging can be done with two different charging methods: a max AC charge rate of 6.6kW or the Japanese standard CHAdeMO quick charge for 50kW.
- There's a five-year/unlimited-kilometer warranty on the car, and the battery is guaranteed to 70% battery life after 10 years.
- Servicing is $295 per visit.
- Offers valet parking at some locations and provides three years of free charging at the Chargefox network in Australia. The dealership will also install a home charger when you buy the car.
- Although the drive experience is nice, efficiency and charging speeds are not as thoughtful as they are on other EVs for less money.
- It features eight airbags and autonomous emergency braking.
- Higher-end models feature adaptive LED headlights and a surround-view camera.
