2026 Lexus UX 300h: light refresh, new colors and pricing

Lexus has unveiled the 2026 UX crossover with minimal changes and a slight price increase. The base UX 300h now starts at $38,250, up $215 from the previous figure.

The headline tweaks are in the paint palette: a new Ultra White replaces Eminent White Pearl, and the F Sport can be ordered in a monochrome Caviar finish. The company also said that Premium and F Sport trims include standard auto-leveling headlights and ambient lighting, although the press materials repeat last year’s information and don’t clearly confirm newly added systems.

Nothing changes under the skin. The UX continues with a hybrid powertrain built around a 2.0-liter engine rated at 196 hp. It accelerates to 100 km/h in 7.9 seconds and remains among the most efficient models in its segment. Even with such a light refresh, the UX still comes across as a smart pick in Lexus’s compact range—more about polish and day-to-day frugality than sweeping reinvention.
