The Lexus UX compact SUV is getting an upgrade with a number of improvements to enhance the vehicle’s safety, style and connectivity.

The UX, which is priced between £29,905 and £41,155, was launched last year and can now also be specified with an optional Premium Pro Pack.

This pack adds a 13-speaker Mark Levinson Premium Surround audio system, a head-up display, wireless smartphone charger, blind spot monitors and rear cross traffic alert with auto-braking, triple-eye LED headlights with adaptive high-beam system, power adjustable steering wheel, along with eight-way power-adjustable front seats.

All models now feature wireless smartphone integration using Apple CarPlay or Android Auto while there is also a new range of interior colour schemes including a new Cobalt option which combines black and blue trim.

There is a new F White interior exclusive to the UX F Sport with Premium Plus or Takumi packs. This includes smooth black leather for the instrument panel with white stitching, and white leather seat upholstery with a contrasting vertical black stripe section on the cushion and seatback of the front seats.

In addition, a series of features have been introduced in a Driver Assist Pack to help turn and manoeuvre the car safely. Offered at no extra cost as part of the Premium Plus Pack, or in addition to the Premium Pack option for £745, this equips the UX with a blind spot monitor, rear cross traffic alert with automatic braking and an intelligent clearance sonar system.
