2026 Lexus UX: few changes and a starting price of $44,795 | Car News
Lexus Canada has announced pricing and changes for the 2026 UX. Or we should say, the UX 300h, since that is the only configuration available, meaning the small luxury SUV comes only in hybrid format.
2026 Lexus UX 300h – What’s new?
The UX got some fairly substantial performance, tech and design updates for 2025, so this model-year is more one of the status quo.
What changes there are, are mostly on the theme of colour. The model now features standard across all trims a 64-colour thematic interior illumination system, and selected grades welcome new interior and exterior colour choices in their offering.
The base Premium grade incorporates a new shift knob design.
