Modified Lexus UX on Display at Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance

Posted by Kevin on August 24th, 2018

A customized Lexus UX will be featured at the Lexus display for the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, marking the first time the new subcompact crossover has been seen in modified form:

Built by VIP Auto Salon, the custom UX 250h has been wrapped in light blue, and features a custom roof rack for the F SPORT Carbon Fiber Road Bicycle, a one-off project that marked the completion of the LFA production run.

The UX also has other modifications, here’s the bullet form list:

  • NIA Auto Design ABS Lip Kit
  • Vossen VFS-1 wheels and Nitto Invo tires
  • Apexi N1 EXV Damper Suspension
  • Apexi N1-X Full Catback Exhaust System
  • Inno Base Rack System with slim fork lock bike system

not being a big SUV or CUV fan, all I can say is that I like it!

I wonder if this new hybrid drive line will be of the multi-stage type. Any thoughts?
The multi-stage hybrid system is too long for transverse platforms and too complicated for a low-end vehicle. The UX is not a performance vehicle so it does not the torque amplification from the automatic transmission.

These things are going to sell very well I feel! I can't wait to see the full thing; it's looking like the concept so far (even in the dark teaser). I like the single "unibrow" taillight, but definitely used on a lot of cars/brands nowadays (Audi, Dodge, Lincoln, Toyota, etc).

Not too surprised with the taillight considering what they did with the Avalon. I think this is the new trend.

I think Geneva would be more interesting than Detroit. The supposed supra and the UX would be unveiled there.

My sense is that the packaging of the multi-stage hybrid system would probably be nearly impossible for a FWD vehicle that's so small. Plus, it might be engineering overkill for what's about to be Lexus' most entry level product.

However, we can still dream :innocent:o_O

I'm expecting a new 2.0L Dynamic Force I4 with a Li-Ion battery pack, mated to a CVT.
too expensive... as to the hybrid, by now we know it is not an cvt but psd :)

and it still might be nimh, like in Camry.

At least '50' more than CT200h.
Could it be similar to the HS 250h?

Lexus needs to bring the 2CT with a CT 250h or CT 300h. Lexus could do a lot with the CT if they wanted to.

I'm sure the UX 250h will sell well. Is there gonna be a petrol version as well such as UX 200 to UX 300?

200 and 250 petrols and 250h... depending on the market i guess.

200 and 250h should be 165hp-175hp, 250 should be 205 hp.

Basically it should be "fast enough" where C-HR Hybrid and 2.0l are a bit underpowered.

It's great that Lexus is expanding hybrid models. Lexus needs to promote, advertise and market their hybrids much much more. A lot of people don't even know that Lexus makes hybrids. I have a few clients that didn't even know Lexus had hybrid models.

there was a good article recently how they lowered hybrid premium and sales jumped in the usa - 150% for NX and 33% for RX.

In Europe, people ask me every time if my IS220d is hybrid, they basically became synonym for hybrids.
