What’s more, the UX delivers a truly exceptional driving experience that you are sure to love. But aside from evolving away from conventional gasoline engines, what awaits us inside the new 2022 Lexus Hybrid?
Powertrain of the 2022 Lexus UX
Equipped with all-wheel drive, the Lexus UX is powered by a 2.0 L 4-cylinder engine and a 4th generation self-charging hybrid electric motor. Paired with an electrically controlled continuously variable transmission (ECVT), this powertrain generates 181 net horsepower while boasting a combined average fuel efficiency of just 6.0 L/100 km. Please note that towing is not recommended with this SUV.
