Lexus have revealed the mildly updated version of their first all-electric crossover offering, the UX 300e. The Japanese carmaker claims the new UX 300e offers 40% more range than before. Lexus have been considering the UX 300e for the Indian market for some time and we expect the updated model to hit our shores soon.

The Lexus UX 300e now comes with a bigger 72.8kWh battery pack, replacing the smaller 54.4kWh unit in the current model. The bigger battery pack is claimed to offer a range of 450km on a single charge. It is worth mentioning that the UX 300e continues to use the CHAdeMO charging technology that uses a different charging port over the more common CCS-2 charging.

Speaking of other changes on the UX 300e, the new model comes with a bigger and more advanced 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. The incorporation of the bigger infotainment has also resulted in a revised dashboard layout. Additionally, the updated UX 300e also offers Type-C charging ports and wireless charging.
