UX250h Tuning

[Pauly C]

Are there any recommended tuning packages out there for a UX 250h?  Or do I not play around with my UX in this respect?  Do I need to worry about what such a tuning package will lead to, if the car can't cope long term from such tweaks?  What are your thoughts?  It's just that I sometimes wish it goes up hills a bit better, and has a little more torque when I need it....

That’s what the UX 300h is for.

There is very little you can do with Lexus hybrids in terms of tuning. Using sport mode will help with more Battery assistance on partial throttle and a sharper throttle response but it isn't a fast car.

Cheers Colin.  Yes, not a fast car, but I knew that beforehand.  It keeps up with the traffic OK but, as I say, can die a little going up long sweeping hills.  I didn’t buy it for the performance admittedly….as no one really goes anywhere that fast in my county😉 For driving around down here it’s perfect - fantastic economy, very rare, looks good, comfortable and completely satisfying on the badge snobbery front😍 Time will tell on the reliability front, - now it’s fixed and running properly - and after the bad start to Lexus ownership I’ve had🤔 No, I will leave as is

Not totally convinced, by looking at the 300h figures, it will make that much difference at all tbh🤔 No, I’m happy with the 250….and love playing the numbers game….currently at 55.6 mpg overall👍

Even if there were...it would not be recommended on a newish car as it would most certainly mean your warranty is out the window. Thats never a good place to be with Lexus. While they dont go wrong often when they do they can cost an arm and a leg to fix.

Have you thought of moving to Cambridgeshire? 😆
