Anunciado no início do ano, o Lexus UX 300e, primeiro veículo 100% elétrico da marca, começou a ser vendido na China nesta semana. Um tanto tardia na eletrificação, a divisão de luxo da Toyota oferece o SUV com preços entre 362.000 a 385.000 RMB (US$ 51.130 a US$ 54.378).
Ele se diferencia do irmão UX movido a combustão pelo emblema "Electric" e as portas de carregamento nos para-lamas traseiros. Ao todo, são três modelos movidos a bateria elétrica que compartilham a mesma nova arquitetura global da Toyota - Lexus UX300e, Toyota C-HR e Toyota Izoa.
Com tração na dianteira, o UX 300e utiliza um motor elétrico de 204 cv e torque máximo de 30,6 kgfm. Acelera de 0 a 100 km/h em 7,5 segundos e possui velocidade máxima de 160 km/h - a autonomia é de 400 km pelo padrão NEDC. Poderá usar estações de recarga de até 50 kW, o que irá recuperar 80% de sua carga em 50 minutos. Usando um wallbox de 6,6 kW, o carro precisará de 7 horas para uma carga completa.
De acordo com o plano inicial, anunciado no final de 2019, o Lexus UX 300e estará disponível também na Europa até o fim deste ano e no início de 2021 chega ao Japão. Não há nenhuma previsão de lançamento na América do Norte.

First product under the banner of the Lexus electrification strategy
GUANGZHOU, China (November 22, 2019)―LEXUS will introduce its first battery electric vehicle (BEV), the UX 300e, at the Guangzhou International Automobile Exhibition, which will be held in Guangzhou, China, from November 22 to December 1, 2019.
Since introducing the RX 400h in 2005, LEXUS has been a pioneer in vehicle electrification technology, playing a leading role in offering products that possess both performance and environmental friendliness. At the 2019 Tokyo Motor Show, Lexus unveiled its global electrification strategy, called "Lexus Electrified", which targets a fundamental leap in vehicle performance, handling, control and driver enjoyment.
In particular, the technology of Lexus Electrified enables integrated control of powertrain, steering, suspension, and brakes, realizing the ultimate potential of the motor control technology cultivated in HV. With this technology, we can control the driving force to provide ideal vehicle posture according to each driving situation. Lexus endeavors to continue providing enjoyable and safer driving vehicles.
As the first production model under the Lexus Electrified banner, the all-electric UX 300e was developed for excellent on-road performance. Lexus engineers kept the distinctive design and the utility characteristics of the UX crossover intact, and focused on the opportunities to build on the performance advantages unique to EVs. The UX 300e's high-output motor provides a natural-yet-brisk acceleration character, and the high-capacity batteries located directly underneath the floor of the cabin deliver a low center of gravity and 400 km-driving range. Combined with the newest connectivity technology, the UX 300e maximizes the advantages of EVs while realizing driving performance and convenience in a single package. ('yet' philosophy)
The UX 300e is scheduled to go on sale in the Chinese and European markets in 2020, and in Japan early in 2021.
The first EV from Lexus embodies the refined driving performance and NVH of the brand's DNA
Lexus has always focused on providing exhilarating performance, and the case is no different with development of a BEV. Starting from the refined Lexus driving signature of the UX, Lexus engineers were able to leverage the new electric drivetrain to even further enhance the vehicle's on-road performance. At the same time, UX 300e has one of the quietest cabins in its class, as befits the sound management heritage of the Lexus DNA.
In developing the UX 300e, Lexus utilized the knowledge acquired developing the brand's industry-leading hybrid systems, and applied the same level of quality and comfortable operation to its first production EV as it always has with other vehicles. The Lexus engineering team delivered outstanding battery reliability, and also adopt the latest connectivity technology to maximize everyday usability and the functionality with smartphones.
