Attention those who want to buy a Lexus!UX models are now less than 200,000, is it time to get one?
When it comes to Lexus, many friends know that it is a high-end car brand owned by Toyota, and in order to show their love for this brand, many people call its models "Thunder Car", which shows how high the status of Lexus is in the minds of some Chinese people.
In the past 2023, Lexus has sold more than 820,000 new cars (824258 units), a year-on-year increase of 32%. Among them, Lexus has the best sales performance in the United States, with a total of more than 355,600 new cars sold in 2023, followed by the Chinese market, with 181,400 new cars sold.
From the above sales ratio, it is not difficult to find that the Chinese people's enthusiasm for the purchase of "thunder cars" is still very high. Although Lexus's sales in China increased by only 3% year-on-year last year, the lowest compared to the rest of the world, it still achieved a slight increase in sales. So, don't think that Lexus really can't be sold, maybe people are "making a fortune in silence"?
Let's take Lexus's cheapest and most entry-level UX car series as an example, can you imagine that the original manufacturer's guide price needs to go to 267,800 yuan for the UX 260h exploration and search model, now in Xinyang, Henan Province, you can buy it at a price of only 197,800 yuan?

What's more, at present, you can also have a discount of about 70,000 yuan for the whole series when you buy UX cars. Therefore, seeing this, it seems to be understandable why Lexus will be able to achieve a year-on-year increase of 3% in sales in the highly competitive Chinese market in 2023, which is due to the sharp price reduction factor owned by the terminal.
To be honest, in my opinion, the Lexus UX series, which is positioned as a compact SUV, is indeed only worth about 200,000 yuan. One is that the UX is only 4495mm long and has a wheelbase of 2640mm, which makes it not only look small, but also has a cramped seating space. In this case, people who are willing to spend about 200,000 yuan to buy UX after the discount are more or less "not bad money".
After all, if the average family wants to take into account practicality when buying a car, they often choose a joint venture SUV with more space and size, or the BMW X1, which is also a luxury brand but has more space, and they can't afford to spend time on a compact SUV like Lexus UX. Therefore, this market environment determines that the Lexus UX series can only seek a certain living space by reducing the price to less than 200,000.
The second is that the Lexus UX series only has a 2.0L petrol-electric hybrid powertrain, which is destined to be unaffordable.
You know, in the ordinary Toyota Corolla Ruifang/Fenglanda and other dual-engine models, but also equipped with a set of 2.0L petrol-electric hybrid system, so how much do they sell? After the discount, it is only more than 120,000 yuan. Therefore, if the Lexus UX, which is also a 2.0L hybrid system, is still sold for 260,000 yuan, will anyone really buy it?
Therefore, Lexus lowered the price of UX at the terminal to less than 200,000, which is actually just a way to cater to the times. Because in the current market competition environment, even if you are Lexus, it is impossible to sell a price of 100,000 more than ordinary Toyota models. And the manufacturer has obviously been keenly "aware" of this, so there is this Lexus UX model of less than 200,000.
In short, in the past, it was spent 267,800 yuan to buy Lexus's most entry-level UX model, which may be regarded as a "big injustice". But now that the lowest price of the UX series has dropped to less than 200,000, I personally feel that it is actually quite worth it to buy a luxury brand gasoline-electric hybrid SUV at this price. After all, the recognition of the Lexus brand itself is quite high, although the UX 260h is only the most entry-level Lexus model, but this does not affect the fact that it is of reliable quality, high-quality materials, and stable quality. Therefore, if you want to buy a Lexus, if you come across a UX car series that is already less than 200,000, it may be time to start. (Text/Youshi Auto Dazhuo)
