Lexus UX 300e Hits the Streets of Singapore
Good news for eco‑conscious drivers: the Lexus UX 300e is now officially available in Singapore! This sleek electric compact is powered by a brand‑new electric drivetrain and runs on the lightweight GA‑C platform.
- Zero-emission power for that guilt‑free street‑style driving.
- Refreshed dynamic feel – the car doesn’t just drive, it thrills.
- Smart, efficient design made possible by the modern GA‑C architecture.
So if you’re looking for a fun, electrifying ride that’s also good for the planet, the UX 300e could be your new best buddy.
Lexus UX 300e: Power, Performance, and a Dash of Whimsy
Engineered to Burst into Action
When you hit the accelerator, the UX 300e offers a 201 bhp electric motor that delivers a full 300 Nm of torque—think of it as a sprinting sprinter ready to outpace any regular crossover.
With this power, acceleration feels brisk enough to make even the most impatient commuter smile.
Low‑Center Joy: The Battery’s Secret Trick
Under the cabin floor lives a 54.3 kWh battery that not only powers the car but also lowers the center of gravity by 67 mm compared to the hybrid UX. This results in smoother handling and a stiffer, more stable ride.
According to Lexus Singapore, this battery lets you cruise for a full 300 km—more than five days’ worth of daily drives.
Charging Like a Speedy Champ
- Maximum AC charge: 6.6 kW from a regular charger.
- Direct‑current bliss: up to 50 kW for a quick power‑up.
Smart Braking for Stop‑and‑Go Town
In downtown Singapore’s stop‑start maze, the UX 300e’s deceleration can be tweaked using paddle shifters behind the steering wheel—four levels of control. This lets drivers minimize mechanical brake wear and boost energy recovery—a courtesy to the planet and your wallet.
Chrome‑Capped Comfort for the Curvy Road
The upgraded GA‑C platform features extra braces and stiffer shock absorbers, perfectly matched to the vehicle’s new drivetrain. Whether you’re winding through garden streets or cruising city boulevards, the UX 300e keeps its footing.
Bottom Line
With a strong motor, a low‑center battery, quick charging, smart braking, and a sturdy chassis, the Lexus UX 300e stands out as a practical, yet playful crossover for Singapore’s drivers. It promises power, comfort, and a touch of humour—so you’ll have more reasons to smile every time you hit the road.

Meet the Lexus UX 300e: Your Quiet Road Companion
Ready to trade the roar of a combustion engine for a whisper‑quiet ride? The UX 300e has rolled out its own soprano‑level soundproofing, so that the wind and gravel leave you guessing where the pulse comes from.
Sound‑Shaping Technology
Active Sound Control isn’t just a fancy name—it’s a smart trick that learns your surroundings and projects the right amount of ambient noise. That way you sense the road without the buzz of an engine, and it keeps the cabin feeling real rather than a high‑tech studio.
Comfort That’s Almost Planar
- Ventilated front seats kick in when you need a breeze—no sweaty drivers here.
- Mark Levinson’s Reference Surround Sound System turns every drive into a front‑row concert: an 11‑channel amplifier piped to 13 speakers that makes the playlist feel live.
- 10.3‑inch high‑def touchscreen is a smooth interface that accepts both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto—so your phone’s app store stays in the loop.
Safety That Won’t Quit
Lexus’ Safety System+ is a full‑blown guard horse:
- Pre‑Collision System—because bump‑ups are fun in other cars.
- Dynamic Radar Cruise Control (high speed only)—drag your foot lightly on the pedal.
- Lane Departure Alert—so you don’t spin into the neighbor’s driveway.
- Adaptive High‑beam System—flash a saber for those shiny trails.
In summary: the UX 300e quietly blends extraordinary comfort, iconic audio, and safety, making it the gentle giant of electric SUVs.
