UX_Features_Meters/EMV display

Realizing the ‘Seat in Control’ concept of the human-centered interior, the 7-inch color TFT (Thin Film Transistor) Optitronmeter is designed to provide the driver with essential driving information without changing posture or line of sight. The 12.3-inch and 8-inch touch displays show incoming hands-free mobile calls, audio system, navigation system and other information, and support easy integration and control of smartphone functionality using Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. They are optimally positioned for natural operation while driving, to realize quick and intuitive operation.

UX_Features_Forward visibility

A key focus of the human-centered design was forward visibility, to provide a commanding view and peace of mind. Special attention was given to the design of the front pillars and door mirror area, creating a space between the pillar and mirror to enhance the visibility of pedestrians and bicycles at intersections.

UX_Features_LED rear combination lamps

The bold design of the rear combination lamps reinforces the UX’s unique identity. The left and right lamps are connected by the aero-stabilizing blade lights to form a single line of light across the rear, illuminated by 132 LEDs. This form is complemented by the advanced aerodynamics of the L-shaped race car-inspired fins, which contribute to excellent rear stability while cornering and inside winds.

UX_Performance_Aerodynamics

In the pursuit of outstanding aerodynamic performance, the UX combines bold design with advanced aerodynamic performance. It drove developments in aerodynamics including the innovative aero stabilizing arch moldings, and aero stabilizing blade lights with integrated rear combination lamps. Blending form with function, the front and rear fenders feature aero stabilizing arch moldings with a distinctive rounded front section, squared rear section and flat upper surface that help to suppress unstable vehicle behavior, enhancing roll stability while cornering.

UX_Performance_Multi material body

To create a strong yet light body, hot-­stamp and high-­tensile steel were used in key body components including the underbody, together with aluminum for the hood and side doors, and resin for the back door. Reinforcements around the outer side and back doors that connect the squared reinforced annular structures and the extensive use of technologies including laser screw welding and structural body adhesive further enhance rigidity, contributing to agile handling and excellent steering response and feedback.

UX_Performance_GA-­C (Global Architecture-­C) platform

The advanced Lexus GA-­C platform forms the backbone of the UX, providing the foundation for the core elements of its dynamic performance: accelerating, cornering and braking. Combining excellent rigidity and a low center of gravity, it endows the UX with the sharp response and maneuverability of a passenger car enjoyed in the exceptional linear stability, fast stable cornering, and pleasing acceleration, together with excellent ride comfort and the security of peace of mind.

UX_Performance_Brakes

In pursuit of thrilling driving experiences, our brake system is designed for smooth, responsive braking, providing a natural feel. Vehicle Braking Posture Control ensures stability during braking and reduces body roll while cornering, enhancing driving ease and control.
