UX is essentially the same (320 litres up to the tonneau cover) but doesn't look as usable as the LBX because, as you say, it is much shallower. No, they are built on different platforms, in the same way that the Toyota C-HR and Yaris Cross are different to each other.

Washers have been removed from the 2023 models except for the ones with adaptive high beam.

Have a search within the IS200 forum. Quite a few people have done this in the past, but it isn't something that gets mentioned these days - I guess the expense is too high, the money could be spend on a more modern vehicle.

The Premium Sport also has a HUD.

You possibly have a small amount of air in the brake fluid so worth getting that changed and the system bled. The pedal itself should only have 1 to 2 mm of travel before any resistance is felt as it starts to engage the master cylinder. If the distance is longer, the pedal can be adjusted but it isn't something that typically changes over time so unless it has been tampered with since the car was built there may be an issue somewhere in the braking system that needs to be investigated.

Not sure what to say other than you seem to have been unlucky but things do just fail, and SD cards aren't the most reliable pieces of tech - although they normally are ok when just being read from rather than written to. You should have a warranty with it so I'd contact your supplier to replace.

Same factory and same build procedures. No reports here of issues related to UXs built in those specific years.

Most, if not all, IS300h cars aren’t even supplied with a spare.

There's a staple next to it to give you a sense of scale 😉

Threads don’t get deleted, but I will unpin it. It can be resurrected if this goes ahead in the future.

They certainly weren't proactive enough and on the outside appears to purely be a business accounting decision. Continual negative press and potential lost sales meant it got to the point where it is cheaper to fit plates than not to. ES, NX, UX and LC owners are still left vulnerable because the numbers stolen of these models are high enough yet.

There are a few differences: Bladescan adaptive headlights Adaptive Variable Suspension 15 speaker Mark Levinson audio system 360-degree monitor Key card Higher quality semi-aniline leather upholstery 10-way front seat adjustment which includes 4-way lumbar (8-way on other models) with memory settings Wooden steering wheel Power rear seats Rear door sunshades? Illuminated scuff plates?

In which case your coolant would have already been changed - and as it is no longer the factory fill it should be changed 50k miles/5 years after that water pump was done.

The pink Toyota Super Long Life coolant is good for 100k miles (initial factory fill) then every 50k miles. If you equate that to time then it would be 10 years for the initial replacement and then every 5 years. The only thing that would possibly benefit from an early coolant change is the water pump but I'm not convinced it would extend its life anyway so I'm not sure I would change it before 10 years. If you are going to change it then you might as well do both systems, the engine coolant and the hybrid inverter coolant.

Or the much better US LOC 🙂 https://us.lexusownersclub.com/forums/

1 - that is just a personal opinion that only you can make. Certainly I'd prefer the comfort offered by the 18" wheels and non-runflat tyres over the 20" ones. 2 - mostly the same functionality. I believe the larger screen and pro nav system holds more map data locally so if you have mobile black spots it continues working - not that I've heard of people with issues of the base system 3 - All UK vehicles have LED indicators so I doubt people here would be able to comment. The indicators certainly wouldn't be halogen, I guess you mean standard incandescent bulbs? Is that an issue, unless you are wanting sequential indicators - in which case it might be more complicated than just changing the light unit.

It may disable itself depending on the severity of the weather (rain and snow) or anything obstructing the sensor behind the grille (snow and mud) as the radar needs to have clear line of sight to the vehicle ahead. Certainly radar cruise control shouldn't be used as a safety feature for when the conditions are too bad for the driver!

I don't think you can turn it off now it is a legal requirement for new cars to have this feature which was an EU legislation that came into force in July 2022. As the ES was facelifted at this time it would need to comply with these new requirements as part of the homologation process. You can turn off the features on each drive, but the vehicle must reenable them on every start.

These are very accurate.

I use Noco Genius smart chargers. They have a forced mode for when the voltage is too low for standard charging to take place. I'm surprised CTEK don't have that functionality.

No, UWB was introduced on the NX in early 2023 along with other changes such as coloured trim on the glovebox lid.

Technically some can be repaired (once) but yes, the reality is that the repairer cannot determine how far or fast you have travelled on the unpressurised tyre and will therefore will not attempt a repair for not wanting to be associated with any potential future failure of the tyre.

Lexus once gave different pricing for the different major services to account for additional items such as spark plug, coolant and timing belt changes (as Max posted). But even then there was always an extra charge for timing belt. In the last couple of years they have removed all this and gone to a seemingly flat rate for all - simplifies the pricing model but means an owner would pay over for a basic major service (e.g. 20k) and over for an expensive one (e.g. 60k). I'm not sure in reality it works like this but Lexus also no longer think about timing belts as all their vehicles in the last 10+ years have use chains. If you were to try and book a service and expect a timing belt change then either they won't do the belt, give you an extra charge or refuse to do the service. A Lexus dealer isn't going to perform a loss making service.

This certainly sounds like a software issue - it is the estimation that drops, not the actual range as a fan would have negligible impact on that. It seems the range impact of the AC has being triggered by the fan operation and not the actual AC operation.
