2024 Lexus LS: How To Define Luxury

2024 Lexus LS+

You'll find a lot of the 2023 Lexus LS features carrying over to the new 2024 model year. This means you can expect the same sleek look and exceptional driving experience you've had with this high-class sedan in the past. From its standard features to its optional upgrades, the ideal Lexus LS is waiting for you at Longo Lexus. Here's more about the top-notch features you can look forward to with this luxurious sedan to help you decide if it's the right vehicle for you.

Elegant Exterior

The 2024 Lexus LS looks good no matter whether you're coming or going. Up front, it has a large grille surrounded by aggressive-looking headlights. A sloped roofline and sleek angles draw your eye to the rear of the vehicle, where you'll find a short trunk with sharp taillights that set it apart from the crowd. You can get your Lexus LS in a variety of stylish colors, including:

  • Eminent White Pearl.
  • Nightfall Mica.
  • Matador Red Mica.
  • Manganese Luster.
  • Atomic Silver.
  • Obsidian.
  • Iridium.
  • Caviar.
  • Ultra White (LS 500 F Sport only).

Choose from 19- and 20-inch wheels that come in several styles, allowing you to get a look that suits your individuality. For special badging and other unique exterior features, choose the LS 500 F Sport trim.

Luxurious Interior

With spacious seating for up to five people and plenty of options for a customized interior, the cabin of the 2024 Lexus LS makes travel comfortable and relaxing. You can choose between three different options for the interior look and feel you desire: Palomino leather and Brown Open-Pore Walnut trim, Black leather and Black Open-Pore trim, and Chateau leather and Black Open-Pore trim. Upgrading provides additional options for customizing the interior of your new Lexus LS. These options include Chateau leather and Artwood Herringbone trim or Black leather and Artwood Organic Gloss trim.

Driver and passenger seats are molded for maximum comfort while you drive. The cabin has a panoramic glass roof that allows in natural light and ambient lighting for a welcoming atmosphere when it's dark outside. A heated, leather-wrapped steering wheel provides the perfect grip regardless of the weather. The rear power sunshade will keep the sun off your passengers, while the available heated rear seats will make sure they stay warm in the winter. Dual-zone climate control keeps everyone in the vehicle at just the right temperature.

Top-Notch Technology

You'll feel more connected than ever when you get behind the wheel of the latest Lexus LS. This high-tech sedan features a 12-speaker sound system, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration, and active sound control and noise cancelation that block out road noise and other interruptions while you listen to your favorite songs. Six USB ports are located conveniently throughout the cabin so you and your passengers can keep devices charged and ready to use. Thanks to the available Wi-Fi hotspot, you can access the internet from just about anywhere.

Choose upgrades such as the digital rearview mirror and panoramic view monitor to make driving a breeze. For rear-seat passengers, upgrade to the center console that offers a 7-inch touch screen they can use to adjust the temperature or use the available massaging seat feature.

Fabulous Trims

There are three great Lexus LS trims to choose from:

  • LS 500: Estimated starting MSRP of $78,735.
  • LS 500 F Sport: Estimated starting MSRP of $82,335.
  • LS 500h: Estimated starting MSRP of $115,000.

Each of these trims comes with features that make it exceptional. Starting with the LS 500, you'll find standard features such as 16-way power-adjustable ventilated and heated front seats and auto-dimming inside and outside mirrors. Moving up to the LS 500 F Sport trim will give you the option of adding sporty features to your sedan. This trim comes standard with F-Sport perforated leather trim inside and an Ultrasuede headliner. You'll also get improved performance with the LS 500 F Sport trim.

If you're interested in the hybrid version of the Lexus LS, you can opt for the efficient and luxurious LS 500h. In addition to excellent gas mileage, this model offers drivers a smooth ride thanks to its adaptive variable air suspension and custom drive modes. The LS 500h comes standard with a 28-way power-adjustable front seat with a massage function, heated rear seats, a leather-wrapped, heated steering wheel, and so much more.

Modern Safety

Every 2024 Lexus LS model comes with the Lexus Safety System+ 2.5. This modern suite of safety technologies helps you stay safe no matter where the road takes you. The pre-collision system with pedestrian detection can help you avoid accidents with objects and people. Lane departure warning with steering assist is designed to make sure you maintain your lane. The blind-spot monitor with rear cross-traffic alert is available to help you with those hard-to-see areas around the vehicle. An optional head-up display allows you to keep your eyes on the road by projecting important driver information onto the windshield. 

The tire pressure monitoring system means you can be confident in maintaining the ideal tire pressure, and road sign assist can provide information on common road signs that you might have missed. There are 10 air bags located throughout the cabin that can cushion you in the event of an accident. For additional protection, get the available rear-seat-cushion air bags, which are standard in the hybrid model. Upgrading the safety suite can add dynamic radar cruise control and front cross-traffic alert with intersection support to this car's great list of safety features.

2027 Lexus TZ

Lexus TZ: The 2027 Model Worth Watching

Lexus has confirmed its first three-row, all-electric AWD SUV, and the specs alone make the 2027 TZ worth paying attention to. Between the range, the lounge-style cabin, and the charging tech, this is a vehicle worth planning around, not just admiring from a distance. Lexus has announced the TZ but has not released grades, pricing, or full US specifications, so anything below that isn't drawn from Lexus's official announcement is noted as expected or reported. If you want to get ahead of the line, contact Longo Lexus now and we'll keep you posted as more details come out. Meet the 2027 Lexus TZ: Lexus's First Three-Row Electric AWD SUV The 2027 Lexus TZ is Lexus's third all-electric nameplate, joining the two-row RZ and the battery-electric ES, but it's the first one built to carry a family across three full rows. It's built on Lexus's TNGA platform with a reinforced body structure using high-rigidity adhesives, laser screw welding and aluminum components. Inside, the cabin follows what Lexus calls a "Driving Lounge" concept, putting comfort and quiet ahead of anything flashy. It's a true three-row electric SUV, something the brand simply hasn't offered before now. How the TZ Differs from the Gas/Hybrid Lexus TX The Lexus TX isn't going anywhere. It's currently sold with a 2.4-liter turbo gas engine (TX 350), a hybrid setup (TX 500h F SPORT), and a plug-in hybrid variant (TX 550h+). The TZ sits alongside it as a separate, fully electric option rather than a replacement. Dimensionally, the two are close but not identical. The TZ measures 200.8 inches long, 78.3 inches wide and 67.1 inches tall on a 120.1-inch wheelbase, which makes it slightly shorter and noticeably lower than the TX while riding on a longer wheelbase. That combination is what opens up the cabin. Battery, Range, and Charging Capabilities Range anxiety and charging time are usually the two things that make people hesitate before trading a gas SUV for an electric one. Lexus tackled both head-on with the TZ's engineering, and the numbers hold up well against rivals like the Volvo EX90, Hyundai Ioniq 9, and Kia EV9. Battery Options and Estimated Driving Range The 2027 Lexus TZ comes with two battery choices: a 76.96 kWh pack and a larger 95.82 kWh pack. Lexus quotes a manufacturer-estimated 300 miles of range on a select grade, plenty for commuting around Los Angeles and the San Gabriel Valley with room left over for weekend trips. Range for the smaller pack hasn't been announced yet. Battery Estimated Range 76.96 kWh Not yet specified 95.82 kWh Up to 300 miles Every TZ gets DIRECT4 all-wheel drive as standard, along with towing capacity up to 3,500 pounds and 13.8 cubic feet of cargo capacity. Drivers get five drive modes (normal, sport, eco, range, and rear comfort) plus five levels of regenerative braking controlled through paddle shifters, with coasting deceleration of up to 0.2 G for one-pedal-style speed control. An available Dynamic Rear Steering system adds up to 4 degrees of rear-wheel steering angle, tightening the turning radius to 17.2 feet, and a 0.27 drag coefficient helps stretch every mile of range. Output figures reported internationally put combined power near 402 horsepower with a 0-100 km/h time of 5.4 seconds, though Lexus has not published final US performance specifications. DC Fast-Charging Speed and Charge Times The US TZ uses a North American Charging Standard port, so it plugs right into the growing Tesla-style charging network across Southern California, and Lexus pairs it with a first-for-the-brand 2-in-1 charging port that places the AC and DC connectors side by side under a motorized sliding cover, useful in tight charging bays. Reported figures from Lexus's international announcement point to 150 kW DC fast charging and a 10 to 80 percent charge in roughly 35 minutes, though US charging specifications haven't been finalized. Lexus also lists a full set of preconditioning functions on select models, including battery, driving and departure-time preconditioning, which warm or cool the pack ahead of a charging stop. Some of these require an active Drive Connect trial or subscription. While you wait for official arrival, it's worth browsing our current Lexus EV inventory to see what's available today. Comfort and Luxury Inside the TZ The interior is where the TZ stands apart from the rest of the segment. Lexus built the cabin around passenger comfort first, then layered in luxury touches that haven't shown up on any previous Lexus SUV. Captain's Chair Second Row and Third-Row Access The TZ uses captain's chairs in the second row, with a walk-in button that folds the seat forward for third-row access, and flush seat rails that keep entry smooth even with child seats installed. Lexus designed the third row with sofa-like cushioning rather than the flat bench most three-row SUVs settle for, and heaters are fitted to all seats throughout the cabin. One-touch folding for the second and third rows makes reconfiguring for cargo quick. Lexus lists cargo capacity at 13.8 cubic feet, enough for a grocery run or a couple of duffel bags with all seats in use. Final seating configurations will be confirmed when Lexus announces grades later in 2026. Premium Materials and Quiet-Cabin Technology Power ottomans for the front passenger and second-row seats are a first for any Lexus SUV, and ventilation extends across the driver, front passenger and second-row seats. Forged Bamboo trim, made from Shikoku bamboo fibers blended into resin, brings a distinct natural material into the cabin alongside color choices in Birch, Acorn, and Black/Dapple Gray, and it turns up in unexpected places including the smart key. Bio-based UltraSuede and recycled aluminum round out a materials story built around circular design. Lexus says the TZ has the quietest cabin in its SUV lineup, achieved through sound-absorbing materials and aerodynamically shaped mirrors. An expansive panoramic roof offering scenic views for all three rows comes standard, and a 21-speaker Mark Levinson audio system pairs with Active Sound Control (ASC) technology and six ambient lighting themes. Wheels start at 20 inches, with 22-inch wheels available for those who want a bolder stance. Advanced Safety with Lexus Safety System+ 4.0 The TZ brings Lexus Safety System+ 4.0 (LSS+ 4.0) to a three-row EV for the first time. This system debuted on the 2026 Lexus ES and relies on higher-resolution cameras, upgraded radar, and smarter software to sharpen detection. The Pre-Collision System (PCS) now spots vehicles, pedestrians, and cyclists, with improved low-light pedestrian detection and better awareness at intersections and around motorcycles. Proactive Driving Assist, a refined All-Speed Dynamic Radar Cruise Control, and an upgraded Lane Tracing Assist round out the driver-assistance suite. Lexus also reinforced the body structure for better crash protection, and the next-generation Lexus Interface handles infotainment and connectivity throughout the cabin. Expected Trims, Pricing, and Arrival Timeline Lexus has confirmed that grade and pricing information will be available later in 2026, so any figure you see before then, including ours, is an estimate. Industry expectations have ranged from roughly $60,000 to $70,000, which would put the TZ above the two-row RZ. Lexus expects the TZ to go on sale at the end of 2026 as a 2027 model. Pricing and trims get locked in closer to launch, so check back with us or reach out directly for the latest word. Why Luxury SUV Shoppers Should Consider the TZ For families cross-shopping the 2027 luxury SUV field against rivals like the Volvo EX90, Hyundai Ioniq 9 and Kia EV9, the TZ leads with comfort details Lexus has never put in an SUV before, including power ottomans for the front passenger and second row, alongside a manufacturer-estimated 300 miles of range and the quietest cabin in the Lexus SUV lineup. Lexus designed this SUV around how families actually use a vehicle day to day, and that's what makes it worth watching as more details arrive.

FAQs About the 2027 Lexus TZ Is the Lexus TZ Fully Electric? Yes. The TZ is Lexus's first three-row, all-electric AWD SUV, built entirely around a battery-electric platform rather than a gas or hybrid setup. How Many Seats Does the Lexus TZ Have? Lexus has confirmed a three-row cabin with second-row captain's chairs but hasn't released final seating configurations. Those arrive with grade information later in 2026. What Is the Lexus TZ's Estimated Range? Up to 300 miles with the larger 95.82 kWh battery. The smaller 76.96 kWh battery's range hasn't been specified yet. How Fast Can the Lexus TZ Charge? The TZ uses a North American Charging Standard port with a Lexus-first 2-in-1 design that places the AC and DC connectors side by side. Reported figures from Lexus's international announcement indicate a 10 to 80 percent charge in roughly 35 minutes at 150 kW, with US specifications still to be confirmed. Will the Lexus TZ Replace the Lexus TX? No. The TX continues on in gas, hybrid, and plug-in hybrid form, and the TZ simply expands the three-row lineup as a separate, all-electric alternative rather than replacing anything.

Lexus LX

How Much Is the 2026 Lexus LX? Pricing by Trim Explained

Shopping for a full-size luxury SUV means running into a wide spread of numbers fast, and the 2026 Lexus LX is no exception. Pricing depends heavily on which trim you choose, since the lineup spans seven configurations across two powertrains. At Longo Lexus, we help Southern California drivers sort through those options every day, and we've put together this breakdown to make the numbers easy to follow. If you want to talk specifics before you finish reading, feel free to contact our El Monte sales team anytime. 2026 Lexus LX Pricing Overview The 2026 Lexus LX price starts at $108,550 for the LX 600 Premium and climbs to $143,050 for the range-topping LX 700h Ultra Luxury. Both figures include the $1,550 delivery fee that Lexus applies uniformly across every trim. That starting number is only marginal higher than the 2025 Lexus LX MSRP, so Lexus has kept the entry point relatively stable while adding new standard features for 2026, including a head-up display and Lexus Safety System+ 3.0 across the board. The lineup covers two distinct powertrains. The LX 600 uses a twin-turbo V6, while the LX 700h pairs that same engine architecture with hybrid assistance for more power and better efficiency. Pricing reflects the materials, technology, and off-road hardware packed into each trim. All figures below are manufacturer-set MSRP estimates, subject to change, so check with our team for the latest numbers before you finalize a deal. 2026 Lexus LX 600 Trim Pricing The LX 600 makes up the gasoline-only half of the lineup and offers three trims: Premium, F SPORT Handling, and Luxury. The base trim starts at $108,550, and the Luxury trim tops out at $117,550, before any dealer-added equipment or taxes. Trim MSRP Key Features Ideal Buyer LX 600 Premium $108,550 20-in wheels, AHC/AVS suspension, heated and ventilated front seats, power-folding third row Entry buyer wanting full LX capability LX 600 F SPORT Handling $115,550 Sport-tuned chassis, sport seats, F SPORT trim Driver focused on road manners LX 600 Luxury $117,550 22-in forged wheels, semi-aniline leather, massage seats, Mark Levinson audio Cross-shopping X7 or GLS on refinement LX 700h Overtrail $119,550 Locking diffs, 33-in all-terrains, 2,400W inverter, two or three rows Weekend off-roader LX 700h F SPORT Handling $117,285 Hybrid power, sport suspension, exclusive F SPORT Appearance Package Performance buyer wanting hybrid torque LX 700h Luxury $121,550 Seven seats, 22-in wheels, massage front seats, heated and ventilated second row Family needing three rows plus efficiency LX 700h Ultra Luxury $143,050 No third row, massaging captain's chairs, rear control panel Rear-seat comfort priority LX 600 Premium The LX 600 Premium starts at $108,550 and is the entry point for the entire lineup. It comes with 20-inch wheels, an adjustable-height suspension with adaptive dampers, and heated and ventilated front seats. You also get a power-folding third row, dual touchscreens, and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, which makes this trim a strong value for buyers who want LX capability without paying for extras they won't use. LX 600 F SPORT Handling Priced at $115,550, the LX 600 F SPORT Handling trim is built for drivers who want sharper road manners. Lexus tunes the suspension specifically for this trim and adds sport seats, aluminum pedals, and F SPORT badging inside and out. Active Height Control (AHC) and Adaptive Variable Suspension (AVS) come standard across the whole lineup, so this trim's real distinction is its sport-focused chassis tuning rather than exclusive suspension hardware. LX 600 Luxury At $117,550, the LX 600 Luxury trim rounds out the gasoline lineup with 22-inch forged wheels, semi-aniline leather, and massaging front seats. Lexus also fits a 25-speaker Mark Levinson audio system and advanced parking assist features, meaningful upgrades for buyers cross-shopping against rivals like the BMW X7 or Mercedes-Benz GLS on interior refinement. 2026 Lexus LX 700h Trim Pricing The Lexus LX 700h starts at a higher price point than the LX 600 lineup, once you factor in the hybrid powertrain and extra standard equipment. Four trims are available: Overtrail, F SPORT Handling, Luxury, and Ultra Luxury. LX 700h Overtrail The LX 700h Overtrail starts at $119,550 and is built specifically for off-pavement driving. It includes front and rear locking differentials, matte-gray 18-inch wheels wrapped in 33-inch all-terrain tires, and a 2,400W AC inverter for powering tools or gear away from home. Buyers should know that the Overtrail is available in either a two-row, five-passenger layout or a three-row, seven-passenger layout, with the two-row version freeing up room for cargo and battery packaging. LX 700h F SPORT Handling At $117,285, the LX 700h F SPORT Handling trim combines hybrid output with sport-tuned suspension. New for 2026, this is the only trim that offers the F SPORT Appearance Package, which adds color-keyed bumper and running-board accents, black mirror covers, and black rear spoiler winglets. LX 700h Luxury Priced at $121,550, the LX 700h Luxury trim returns to a seven-passenger layout and adds 22-inch wheels, semi-aniline leather, and front massage seats with five modes and five intensities. Heated and ventilated seating extends to the second row, and Lexus includes the 25-speaker Mark Levinson audio system here as well. LX 700h Ultra Luxury The LX 700h Ultra Luxury is the priciest configuration in the lineup at $143,050. This trim drops the third row in favor of massaging second-row captain's chairs, a dedicated rear control panel, and a wireless charger. It's the most passenger-focused LX configuration Lexus builds. What Drives the Price Difference Between Trims The Lexus LX carries a higher price than smaller SUVs in the lineup because of scale and engineering. It's Lexus's flagship, and features like off-road hardware, premium interior materials, and hybrid technology all add cost as you move up the trim ladder. Wheel size alone grows from 20 inches on the Premium to 22 inches on the Luxury and Ultra Luxury trims, and suspension tuning becomes more sophisticated on F SPORT and higher trims. The hybrid jump is where the value case gets interesting. Moving from the LX 600 F SPORT Handling to the LX 700h F SPORT Handling costs about $1,735 more, but that gets you 48 additional horsepower, 104 additional lb-ft of torque, and improved efficiency at roughly 20 MPG combined (EPA-estimated). For buyers cross-shopping the Range Rover or other hybrid-capable rivals, that's a meaningful amount of added capability for a relatively small price gap. Higher trims like the Ultra Luxury shift the focus away from off-road hardware entirely and toward rear-seat comfort. That focus on comfort, rather than any powertrain difference from other 700h trims, is what puts it at the top of the price sheet. MSRP, Destination Fees, and What's Included Every price listed above already includes the $1,550 delivery fee that Lexus charges uniformly, regardless of trim. What MSRP does not include is dealer-added equipment, taxes, government fees, finance charges, or other closing costs, all of which vary by buyer and location. This is why the number you see online, including on third-party listing sites, may differ slightly from your final out-the-door price. Every 2026 LX also comes with Lexus's standard coverage: a 4-year/50,000-mile basic warranty, a 6-year/70,000-mile powertrain warranty, and a 6-year corrosion warranty with no mileage limit. The LX 700h adds an 8-year/100,000-mile hybrid system warranty covering the hybrid control module and inverter, plus an extended 10-year/150,000-mile warranty specifically for the hybrid battery on 2020-and-newer models like the 2026 LX 700h, worth factoring into your total cost of ownership calculations, especially if you're deciding between a gasoline and hybrid trim. Choosing the Right LX Trim for Your Budget Picking the right LX price point starts with being honest about how you'll use the vehicle. If you need serious off-road capability and don't mind losing the third row, the Overtrail is hard to beat for the money. Families who need seven-passenger seating and don't require off-road hardware are usually better served by the Luxury trims in either powertrain. And if quiet, comfort-focused rear-seat space is the priority, the Ultra Luxury trim justifies its price with genuinely unique features you won't find elsewhere in the lineup. We'd also encourage you to think about financing structure alongside sticker price. Longo Lexus offers lease specials, manufacturer rebate programs, low-APR financing options, and dedicated programs for recent college graduates and eligible U.S. military members. Any payment example we discuss is illustrative only, since actual terms depend on credit approval and current offers, so it's always best to talk specifics with our finance team directly.

Lexus UX

2026 Lexus UX Price Guide: How Trims and Options Affect Cost

The 2026 Lexus UX starts around $38,850, and where you end up depends heavily on trim, drivetrain, and how you check the options boxes. At Longo Lexus, we walk buyers through this decision every day, so we put together a clear breakdown of what drives the price up, where AWD fits into the equation, and which trim actually delivers the most value for your money. Browse our current UX inventory as you read, since actual pricing and availability shift with the market. The UX sits at the entry point of the Lexus SUV lineup, and Lexus built real flexibility into how it's priced. Whether you're drawn to the standard hybrid efficiency, the sport-tuned F SPORT trims, or simply the badge, understanding how trims and options affect the bottom line helps before you sit down to negotiate. 2026 Lexus UX Price at a Glance That $38,850 starting MSRP puts the UX solidly in the subcompact luxury SUV segment. It includes a standard hybrid powertrain rated up to 43 MPG combined on FWD models, a number that holds up well against similarly priced alternatives. Every figure in this guide is a starting MSRP estimate. Final pricing depends on your options, current incentives, and fees, so confirm exact numbers with us at Longo Lexus before you buy. Lexus loaded real feature content into the base UX, so you're not paying extra just to get back to a reasonable standard. Still, how you build your UX, meaning which trim you pick, whether you add AWD, and what packages you throw on, can push the price meaningfully higher. Knowing what each decision costs upfront saves you from surprises later. What's New for the 2026 Lexus UX The 2026 model year focuses on polish rather than an overhaul, since Lexus already made its meaningful powertrain and technology updates the year prior. New color options and refreshed interior finishes keep the cabin feeling current, and the F SPORT Handling trim now includes a hands-free power liftgate as standard equipment. The UX 300h hybrid system carries over unchanged, and that's not a knock against it. It still delivers strong real-world fuel economy for the class, backed by a powertrain Lexus has had time to refine. If you want a subcompact luxury SUV that's proven itself rather than one still working out early kinks, the 2026 UX fits that description. 2026 Lexus UX 300h Trim-by-Trim Pricing Every 2026 Lexus UX uses the same UX 300h hybrid powertrain, a 2.0L hybrid system producing 196 horsepower, so fuel efficiency comes standard across the entire lineup. FWD models are EPA-rated at 45 city, 41 highway, and 43 combined MPG, while AWD models are rated at 42 MPG combined. AWD is available on every trim for an additional cost, covered in the next section. What actually changes trim to trim comes down to styling and how much tech you get on the dash, summarized below. Trim Instrument Cluster Touchscreen Starting MSRP (FWD) Starting MSRP (AWD) Base 7.0 inch 8.0 inch $38,850 $40,420 Premium 12.3 inch 8.0 inch $42,120 $43,690 F SPORT Design 12.3 inch 8.0 inch $42,685 $44,255 F SPORT Handling 12.3 inch 12.3 inch $47,270 $48,850 UX 300h Base The Base trim starts around $38,850 and packs in more than most entry trims in this class bother to, including synthetic leather upholstery, Lexus's full safety suite, a 7.0-inch instrument cluster, and an 8.0-inch touchscreen running Lexus Interface. If keeping costs down while still driving something refined and dependable is the goal, start here. UX 300h Premium Premium starts around $42,120 and adds real daily-use upgrades: heated and ventilated front seats, a power tilt-and-slide moonroof, rain-sensing wipers, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, a power rear door with kick sensor, and a larger 12.3-inch instrument cluster. The jump from Base is modest given what you get in return, which is why Premium tends to be the most popular pick. UX 300h F SPORT Design F SPORT Design starts around $42,685 and adds unique exterior and interior styling touches for a sharper, more dynamic look. Unlike F Sport Handling, this trim is a cosmetic upgrade rather than a mechanical one, and the power liftgate and auto-dimming mirror actually revert to optional equipment on this trim. Buyers who want that sportier visual edge without stepping up to the top-tier hardware tend to land here. UX 300h F SPORT Handling At the top, F SPORT Handling starts around $47,270 and pairs a revised suspension with sport-tuned components for a noticeably different driving feel. It's also the only trim with a 12.3-inch touchscreen standard, and the hands-free power liftgate now comes included for 2026. An optional Head-Up Display, which projects speedometer and shift position information, is available at added cost across the lineup. If handling matters most to you, this is the trim to get. How AWD Affects Pricing Across All Trims AWD is available on every 2026 UX 300h trim for about $1,570 over the equivalent FWD price. The system uses an electric rear motor to send power to the rear axle independently of the front, improving traction in wet or uneven conditions without adding significant mechanical complexity. For most El Monte and Southern California commutes, FWD's 43 MPG combined rating keeps freeway fuel costs low, and the added AWD weight typically trims that to 42 MPG combined. If your driving stays mostly local or you're chasing the best long-term fuel economy, FWD is worth a close look. If the car occasionally heads to colder terrain or you simply want the added traction confidence, the $1,570 upcharge is a reasonable trade. Either way, our team can run the numbers side by side so you can get pre-approved knowing exactly what you're financing. Optional Packages and Their Impact on Cost Beyond trim and drivetrain, optional packages let you personalize the UX further, and they can shift both the feature set and the price. These typically bundle upgrades around a theme, such as the Head-Up Display or additional driver-assistance tech. Being intentional here matters. Packages add real value, but stacking several without a clear priority list adds up quickly. Before locking in a configuration, decide which features you'll actually use daily versus which ones just sound appealing on paper. Our team at Longo Lexus can walk through current package availability and pricing so you build a UX that fits your budget, not just your wish list.

Destination Fees, Taxes, and Other Costs to Expect The MSRP figures in this guide include the $1,395 DPH fee but not destination charges, taxes, or documentation fees, which vary and should be confirmed at the time of purchase. Destination fees are set by Lexus and apply regardless of which dealership you buy from. State and local taxes depend on where you register the car, and California buyers should account for the state's sales tax rate when budgeting. Documentation fees come from the dealership and cover the administrative side of the transaction. When comparing the UX's sticker price against another vehicle, compare total out-of-pocket cost rather than MSRP alone, since these extra charges can shift the comparison more than expected. Current incentives and fees change often, so confirm exact figures with us directly. Financing and Lease Options at Longo Lexus How you pay for the UX matters as much as which trim you pick. Longo Lexus offers financing and leasing built to work with a range of budgets. Financing at a competitive rate builds equity over time and eventually eliminates the monthly payment altogether, which makes sense if you're planning to keep the car long-term. Leasing usually means a lower monthly payment plus the option to move into a new model every few years. Our sales team is available Monday through Saturday from 9 AM to 8 PM, and Sunday from 10 AM to 7 PM. Call us at 626-539-2955. Sorting out financing before you negotiate puts you in a stronger position. Which 2026 Lexus UX Trim Offers the Best Value Our recommendation is the UX 300h Premium, starting around $42,120 FWD. It adds the moonroof, heated and ventilated seats, and meaningful convenience upgrades over Base for a modest price increase, without approaching the cost of stepping up to the larger Lexus NX. For most daily drivers, that balance of refinement and price makes Premium the sweet spot in the lineup. That said, Base remains a strong choice if you want genuine luxury at the lowest entry price and don't need the extras. F SPORT Design suits buyers who want visible styling differentiation without the top-tier hardware cost, and F SPORT Handling earns its premium through real, noticeable driving improvements. There's no single right answer, but once you know what you want from the vehicle, the decision gets easier.
