Lexus UX debuts in two new special editions

Customers in Japan can now obtain their Lexus UX in Elegant Black and F Sport Style Blue guises.

Compared to the stock car featured in the enclosed video, the Elegant Black trim darkens the grille, the wheels, the roof rails, the headlight bezels and the side mirror caps. Widened wheel arches come finished to match the rest of the body. Found inside are black upholstery, ventilated/heated front seats, and bronze-hued stitching on the steering wheel, seats, front panel and transmission lever shroud.

In turn, the F Sport Style Blue benefits from a Sonic Chrome finish, body-matching wide fenders, as well as black headlight and mirror housings. The interior boasts blue accents and stitching, most noticeably on the seats, doors, wheel and dashboard. The seats are heated and ventilated in the standard spec.

Feature-wise, both cars offer blind spot monitoring, all-around cameras and automatic braking while maneuvering at lower speeds.

The Elegant Black is only obtainable in the 250h hybrid specification of the UX, which combined a 2.0-liter gas engine with 146 PS (144 hp / 107 kW) and an electric motor with 109 PS (107 hp / 80 kW). The drive normally stays on the front axle, but you could go AWD by specifying an extra low-end electric motor for the rear axle with 7 PS (7 hp / 5.2 kW) and 55 Nm (41 lb-ft).

The F Sport Style Blue can be had in hybrid and ICE variants, the latter identical to the UX 200 spec good for 174 PS (172 hp / 128 kW) and 209 Nm (154 lb-ft) of torque.
