Lexus Retires UX 300e, Its First EV

The RZ is now the lone EV, with the all‑electric 2026 ES due later this year carrying up to an estimated 300 miles of U.S. range.

Overview

  • A Lexus spokesperson confirmed to Auto Express that the UX 300e was removed from sale in late 2025 after roughly five years on the market in Europe, China, and Japan.
  • The EV was never offered in North America and recorded fewer than 3,400 UK registrations since 2021, according to figures cited by the outlets.
  • Key specs included a 54.3 kWh battery, a WLTP range of about 186 miles, and the CHAdeMO fast‑charging standard.
  • With the UX 300e discontinued, the RZ is currently Lexus’s only electric model, and an upgraded 2026 RZ adds more range and a new F‑Sport trim.
  • Lexus plans to add the all‑electric 2026 ES in ES 350e and ES 500e variants with U.S. range estimates of about 300 and 250 miles respectively, as Toyota readies additional electric SUVs including a three‑row Highlander EV for the U.S. by the end of 2026 and rolls out $5,000 cash and 0% APR offers.
