Is the Lexus UX 250h 2025 different from the UX 300h, or is it the same model under a new designation?
The Lexus UX underwent a naming change in 2023: what was previously called the UX 250h is now marketed as the UX 300h in North America for 2025, reflecting a minor powertrain upgrade. The "UX" (without a numeric suffix) sold in Canada for 2025 refers to the conventionally powered UX 200 (2.0L 4-cylinder producing 169 hp, front-wheel drive only), which carries no AWD option. This base model starts at $43,550 CAD and suits urban drivers in lower-snowfall regions — it is not recommended for northern provinces during winter. The fuel consumption rating for the gas-only UX is 7.9 L/100 km city and 7.0 L/100 km highway — noticeably higher than the UX 300h hybrid. For most Canadian buyers, the UX 300h AWD remains the more versatile choice, despite the approximately $5,400 premium over the base UX price.
