The good, the bad, the ugly

Current UX is old and expensive. Price crosses over to a base NX. 
Mag X (an auto scoop Japanese magazine) has sketches of the new UX. 
Front end like a mini RX and rear like a LBX.

I assume the interior will mimic the design language of the LBX.

Expected 2026 model year which is next March.

Initial rumours are that it will be electric only but here’s hoping Lexus comes to its senses and continues with the hybrid.

I was set on buying a UX, but as you say it's getting on in years and has to be being replaced soon.  The last thing I wanted was to be spending close on £50k for the Takumi only for it to be replaced in a years time.

I ended up buying a brand new NX Premium with the Link Pro option for less than the UX and it feels like an awful lot of car for the money. Much more room and better ride and refinement.

Wow! The Lexus Japan website features a bespoke 3D configurator for. The LBX. It fixes the main problems of the car:

1. A more powerful engine choice

2. Multiple seat materials and colours. Love the sem-analine red.

3. Even offers different stitching colours ( move over ferrari).

4. Longer wheel base variant to fix the cramped rear seat and cargo area.

 

Thanks for highlighting, I now see the car I want the LBX Morrizo…….thats what I’m waiting for.

Me too, but don't hold your breath.. If not, then the Corolla GR but that may not make it to the UK either and if it does it will be rip-off prices.  Life's hard innit?😾

Was it the 350h?
This is a truly amazing power train. Lithium Battery with fifth generation hybrid system.
Powerful but fuel efficient.

It makes it all the more frustrating that they didn’t put a better hybrid (with Lithium battery) in the LBX.

Totally agree. I will be replacing my RCF with a Morrizo but if the prices ate just silly, welcome Corolla GR auto.

The UX is the 300h and the NX is the 350h
