Is the Lexus UX powerful enough for highway driving?

No, starting from 2025/2026, the Lexus UX has discontinued the pure petrol UX 200 variant in Malaysia. It is now exclusively available as the Lexus UX 300h (Hybrid) and the Lexus UX 300e (Fully Electric), aligned with Lexus's goal of moving towards electrification. For buyers considering the Lexus UX, that matters because it affects how easy the car is to live with, whether for commuting, family use, long-distance driving or ownership costs. The useful way to read this is not as an isolated specification, but as a clue to how the car will feel in real daily use.
