You'll have trouble spotting difference between the EV version and the regular UX.

[/roadshow/make/lexus/model/is/ Lexus is] ready to [/roadshow/news/lexus-lf-30-electrified-concept-debut/ enter the electric life] with its first battery-electric car, the UX 300e. The vehicle, based on a regular [/roadshow/reviews/2019-lexus-ux-review/ UX crossover] we know well, ditches the engine for a totally electric powertrain that [/roadshow/make/lexus/ Lexus] said will deliver 250 miles on the outdated and generous NEDC (New European Driving Cycles) standards. Expect a real-world mileage to come in lower.
The electric Lexus made its debut on Friday at the Guangzhou Auto Show in China, kynghidongduong.vn and basically, what you see is what you get. This UX 300e doesn't look too different from a regular UX at all. In fact, I don't think there's one major design differentiation when comparing photos of this EV model to a regular UX. The big Lexus grille is still present, and tour quảng châu the UX's attractive rear end reports for duty. The "Electric" badge is new though, obviously. Special aero wheels and underbody covers will keep the UX 300e more efficient, too.

Inside, tour quảng châu it's the same story with the typical Lexus cockpit front and center. One notable change is the gear selector. The brand said the shift-by-wire system was relocated to keep the console design simple and boost functionality. Paddle shifters actually control regenerative braking with four different modes (like we saw on the 2021 [/roadshow/make/toyota/model/rav4/ Toyota RAV4] Prime) and drivers will hear a Lexus-developed tone while motoring along, thanks to Active Sound Control.
