The 2026 Lexus UX builds upon its recent refresh with the latest fifth-generation self-charging hybrid system, shift-by-wire system, 12.3-inch digital cluster, and Lexus Safety System 3.0 standard on all models.
Introducing the 2026 Lexus UX in Markham, Ontario
- Available exclusively in a Hybrid Model with All-Wheel Drive System
- Increased body rigidity and quieter cabin
- New Lexus Interface with a larger touch screen for passengers and driver
- F SPORT Trim with signature Design and Handling Characteristics
- New Copper Crest and two-tone Copper Crest color options for the exterior
The Lexus UX 300h is a masterclass in purposeful engineering, blending a high-rigidity chassis with an exceptionally low center of gravity to deliver a drive that is as nimble as it is intuitive.
This poise is complemented by a fourth-generation self-charging hybrid powertrain that produces a spirited 196 net horsepower while maintaining a remarkable combined fuel efficiency of 5.6 L/100 KM. Whether navigating sharp corners or unpredictable weather, the innovative all-wheel-drive system seamlessly manages power distribution via a dedicated rear-axle motor, ensuring unwavering stability.
From the hushed cabin, refined by noise-dampening run-flat tires, to its responsive handling, every element of the UX 300h is designed to elevate your confidence on the road ahead.
For UX drivers and passengers, the Lexus Interface multimedia system and associated services offer a reimagined user experience. The system has the latest display with greater resolution and smartphone-like anti-glare technology, with a base 8-inch or optional 12.3-inch touch panel situated closer to the driver. Users can interact with the device using simple touch and voice interfaces.
Lexus Interface now supports dual Bluetooth® phone connections and standard wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto compatibility. The redesigned UX includes a slew of new standard Connected Services. With a 3-year trial subscription, Safety Connect features an Emergency Assistance Button (SOS), 24/7 Enhanced Roadside Assistance, Automatic Collision Notification, Stolen Vehicle Locator, and Collision Assistance. With a 5-year trial, Service Connect allows drivers to receive Vehicle Health Reports, Maintenance Alerts, and reminders.
The 2026 Lexus UX is only available with a Self Charging Hybrid Electric Powertrain that generates 181 Net Horsepower, yet is surprisingly fuel efficient. The lightest ever All Wheel Drive System features enhanced ride dynamics that are sure to provide you the performance and additional traction if and when required.
Building on F SPORT Design, the F SPORT SERIES 1 package adds standard performance dampers® and an Active Variable Suspension (AVS). The rear performance dampers® quickly absorb body flex and minor vibrations to further sharpen handling and improve overall ride comfort and quietness. In addition, with the responding damping force adjustment, the AVS simultaneously maintains a flat posture and absorbs excess shock, even on road surfaces with a combination of large undulations and minor bumps. This results in enhanced steering response, stability, and a comfortable ride. Steering response is further improved by adding a brace to the steering gear.
The Lexus Safety System+ 2.5 preventive safety system is included on the 2026 UX 300h AWD. The goal is to reduce traffic injuries and fatalities, as well as to ease the burden on drivers.
- The performance of the single-lens camera and millimeter-wave radar has been improved to increase the response range of the Pre-Collision System (PCS), which is designed to detect daytime bicyclists and pedestrians in low-light conditions and, at intersections, to detect oncoming vehicles before right turns and pedestrians crossing the street from the direction the vehicle was travelling before it began to make a right or left turn. Emergency Steering Assist, which assists steering inside the vehicle's lane as cued by the driver, is also included.
- Lane Tracing Assist (LTA), an advanced driving support function that supports steering to keep the vehicle in the centre of the lane, has had its lane-recognition functions improved through the use of AI technologies that expand the assist range, resulting in smoother and more-continuous steering assist.
- Dynamic Radar Cruise Control (DRCC) (with an all-speed tracking function), which controls acceleration and deceleration so that the distance to an immediately preceding vehicle is constant within the speed set when driving on motor-vehicle-only roadways and others, now includes a curve speed-control function that decelerates the vehicle in advance based on the size of an approaching curve.
