Lexus UX 2026

Lexus UX 2026

Our most recent review of the 2026 Lexus UX resulted in a score of 7.6 out of 10 for that particular example.

Carsguide Contributing Journalist Emily Agar had this to say at the time: The updated Lexus UX300h Luxury is a solid entry in the premium compact SUV segment. It doesn’t break new ground, and there are areas that could be improved, but it handles well, offers a thoughtful selection of amenities for a base-grade luxury model, and its compact size makes it easy to park almost anywhere. For buyers seeking a stylish, efficient, and practical hybrid with a luxury badge, it’s a dependable choice.

Lexus UX 2026 Interior

The interior of the UX showcases an understated aesthetic with soft touchpoints and synthetic leather trims spread liberally across the front dashboard and door panels. Some harder plastics remain in hard-wearing areas but a premium look is still achieved.

The dashboard is headlined by dual 12.3-inch displays and a pared back control panel for climate. There are a couple of different interior colourways to choose from to customise to your liking.

Lexus UX 2026 FAQs

Will a 225/55/17 tyre fit a 2000 Lexus LS?

Apart from the obvious requirement to change to 17-inch wheels as well as your chosen tyre, there are legalities to be considered here, and they can vary from State to Territory, so you need to check with your local authorities before committing to any change like this. However, broadly speaking, you can increase your wheel size by up to two inches, provided you don’t throw your speedometer out in the process. You also need to stay within a certain percentage of the car’s original rolling circumference (the distance the tyre travels in one revolution) to remain legal. And there are the practical issues such as tyre-to-bodywork clearance.

However, on the surface the swap you’ve nominated should be legal and practical. The 2000 Lexus LS400 originally came with a 225 60/16 wheel and tyre, so your preferred option only increases wheel diameter by one inch. Also, by fitting a 55-series tyre, you’ve reduced the sidewall height (from the standard 60-series tyre) so the rolling resistance of your new combination will be less than one per cent larger, so shouldn’t create any legal or clearance hassles. Just be sure to let your insurance company know you’ve made the change. Be sure to check the accuracy of your speedometer after the change, too. A GPS speedo app on your phone is the easiest way to do this.
