The ChDM UX300e is only offered with an 8 year/200000km warranty on the battery, which is less than the 8yr/240000km for the Model S and longer than the 8yr/160000km for the Model 3.
P.S. unlimited warranty is now a basic feature for many new ChDM BEVs here. So Lexus/Toyota is not really leading the market. The rest of the world still needs to 'catch up'. However, I trust them to honor their unlimited warranty more than any local manufacturer.
EDIT: the 8yr/200000km also covers the motor and PCU (also called 'three-electric coverage'). The C-HR EV has 10yr/unlimited km warranty on the battery, but such perk is not available for the UX. However, since the battery warranty is an extension of the three-electric warranty, this basically means only 2 years of unlimited range after 8 years or 200000km has passed.
This is a diagram from zhihu. I translated it.Because if batterie cooling draws cooled air from the cabin, and then goes trough the batteries, and then sent to the seats it will be heated up air... No longer being cooled seats...
Do you have any more information on how it will work?
This question -- in general -- was answered previously...Why does Toyota offer shorter warranty in China? Do they really drive across the country during the Spring Festival and New Year?
A warranty, especially a longer than normal warranty, is a marketing feature, something done to attract (reluctant) buyers. If the automaker does not have to offer this feature, it will not; but if it will help to attract new buyers, it will.btw Manufacturers treat warranty as marketing expense, so it is perfectly normal to have different markets with different warranty despite parts being of same quality.

I corrected myself above. The battery warranty is 10-year/unlimited range. However it is an extension of the standard warranty on the battery, motor, and power electronics. So effectively it is 2 years of unlimited range after 8 years or 200000km have passed. The extension is only for the GAC-Toyota C-HR EV. The FAW-Toyota Izoa EV and Lexus UX300e do not have it.Why does Toyota offer shorter warranty in China? Do they really drive across the country during the Spring Festival and New Year?
Hyundai's 10-year powertrain warranty was put in place to persuade buyers who were afraid that Hyundais were not reliable cars. Since the first Hyundai Ponys went on sale 30+ years ago, they gained the reputation of being very cheaply-built, unreliable vehicles, in addition to being not very stylish. The styling improved, as did the build quality, but the perception of being unreliable did not improve. That perception kept marketshare low.So Chinese buyers are all in on Lexus BEVs (perceived luxury brand with rock solid reliability) while Europeans are expressing some hesitations because their local cars can be perceived as equal if not better?
This was what Korean car makers have been doing, offering above industry warranties to gain market share.
To be honest, the super high mileage may be a gimmick but the years aren't. And used car shoppers who want to take advantage of the warranty will put a floor on resale values. Korean cars don't have unlimited mileage with ownership transfers in the US though.
I still couldn't figure out what PHV Lexus is going to launch this year, according to that roadmap. They don't have any new hybrid model other than refreshed IS (unless they also count the LC convertible hybrid), so the second dot has to be a PHV right?
Could the ES E-axle PHV comes this year? Or is there a UX300h+? Both could make sense since we know both the Avalon PHV and C-HR PHV are under development, so their Lexus brothers should be in the pipeline as well.
I think it's gotta the NX 450h+ right?
NX is not launching this year.I think it's gotta the NX 450h+ right?
