Lexus has shown an electric crossover Lexus UX-300e in Battery EV configuration. This version has a significantly increased range on electric power, Automotive world reported.

Since the launch of the RX 400h crossover in 2005, the world's first hybrid SUV, Lexus has continued to develop new electric-powered models.

The updated version of the UX crossover includes a model with a newly developed battery pack with increased capacity from 54.4 kWh to 72.8 kWh. As a result, the crossover has a range of 450 km on a single charge.

The car has a low center of gravity, which was achieved by placing the battery under the floor. By the way it acted as a certain sound barrier, which dampens wind noise and noise from gravel and other materials, which appeared in the car in the absence of engine and transmission sounds.

The electric car's maximum power output was 203 hp. To further sharpen the car's dynamics, the body's rigidity was strengthened by adding 20 additional welding points. The company emphasized that the electric power steering (EPS) and shock absorbers were optimally tuned for the all-electric model.
