Fully-electric 2021 Lexus UX 300e launched in Indonesia; marks ASEAN debut

The 2021 Lexus UX 300e is the Japanese carmaker's first all-electric vehicle and its launch in Indonesia yesterday (26-November 2020) marks its entrance into the ASEAN region. 

The battery electric vehicle (BEV) is powered by a front-mounted electric motor that makes 201 PS and 300 Nm of torque. Power comes from a 54.3 kWh lithium-ion battery pack, good for a 300 km range on the WLTP cycle. Standard AC charging rates for the crossover is 6.6 kW and 50 kW with a fast charger.

The exterior is standard Lexus: tri-LED projector headlights flank the signature spindle grille and crafted design touches all-around, including 17-inch wheels. 

Termed as 'Human-Centred Cockpit', the interior is designed to fit the driver and occupants as perfectly practical as possible. There's a digital Optitron instrument cluster as well as a head-up display. 

Pampering your passengers is the 13-speaker Mark Levinson surround sound system which can be controlled by the 10.3-inch touchscreen infotainment display. And yes, there's Apple CarPlay and Android Auto support, as expected really.

Safety wise, the UX 300e comes with 8 airbags, blind spot monitor (BSM) and a 360-degree panoramic view monitor (PVM). 

Advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) are also present. Called Lexus Safety System+, it encompasses these functions:

  • Pre-Collision System (PCS)
  • Dynamic Radar Cruise Control (DRCC)
  • Lane Departure Alert (LDA)
  • Adaptive High Beam System (AHS)

Fully-imported (CBU) from Japan, the UX 300e is the most expensive variant of the UX range in Indonesia:

Lexus UX price in Indonesia
Variant Price
UX 200 IDR. 855.000.000 (~ RM 247k)
UX 200 F Sport IDR. 925.000.000 (~ RM 267k)
UX 250 H IDR. 990.000.000 (~ RM 286k)
UX 300e IDR. 1,245,000,000 (~RM 360k)

This sight will be common soon.

You may ask 'why Indonesia?' and a major reason for that is their push towards electrificying transportation

We still have quite a way to go, getting to know new technologies such as Honda's i-MMD technology, for instance.

Oops... Something broke.

Toyota's Kinto is getting bored, finds a way to make the AH30 Alphard and Vellfire sliding doors close faster

You know how some cars can be truly fantastic except for one minor detail that you just can’t overlook and it ends up ruining the entire driving experience. It could be a terrible head unit or a bad seating position. Well, some of the engineers at Toyota’s Kinto subscription service thought that could be the abysmally slow speed of the sliding doors on the previous AH30 generation of the Toyota Alphard and Vellfire. Either that or they must be getting really bored over there. Or someone has secr
