Just to follow up on this. I did see both F Sport Premium Plus and Takumi cars and evil racer was right. I couldn't tell any difference between the 8 speakers system and mark levinson system. I only got to test drive the Takumi which was pretty quiet and comfortable. Hoping to test drive the F Sport soon and see how the driving modes feel. My only other option is the Audi Q3 35 or 40 petrol but they're a bit too expensive and less fuel efficient.

I'm hopefully going to test drive one at the end of the week, not sure if my local dealer has both takumi and f sport available but I'll at least get an idea of things.

I'll definitely be trying them both to see when lockdown opens up. Might be hard to find both in the same showroom. Did you drive the takumi by any chance? Just wondering if there are any difference in the driving dynamics.

Very useful info on the link. Answers all the questions. Guess I have to look for these 19 plate Takumi spec cars then that were listed under 40k. According to this, the F Sport takumi pack cars were also originally just under £40k (33900 + 6000). https://blog.lexus.co.uk/new-lexus-ux-uk-grade-structure-and-pricing/ I also found this which shows that the 2020 models had the price increase? https://media.lexus.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Lexus-Price-List-Range-22.05.20.pdf

Lexus have confirmed that AJ is correct. However surprisingly they also told me that the Takumi Spec originally. Below is what the salesman told me: I asked if it only applied to 19 plate or 69 plate models and the reply was: The car he showed me with the lower tax band was a 19 plate so most likely only they have this lower tax band. Narrows my search by alot 🙄. The car itself was nice but I've never had a cream interior before so not sure about it.

I was wondering that too. Would discounts that bring it under £40k make it go into a different road tax bracket? I'm not sure. Hopefully someone here can advise more.

Hi, I'm thinking of getting a Lexus UX as a daily driver and am a bit confused about the spec. Is the only way you can get Mark Levinson Sound System with the 10 inch infotainment screen to get the Takumi Spec or F Sport with Takumi Pack? If so, that's quite annoying since both are over the £40k list road tax increase. Takumi spec especially is annoying with it costing £40,150. Just £200 lower and it would be under. The F Sport with Takumi Pack is more expensive at £41,450 list price on configurator. I was hoping to get both without having the pay the extra road tax but guess I'll have to choose between either F-Sport spec (10 inch infotainment and 8 speakers) or Premium Plus Tech and Sound/Pro (regular infotainment and Mark Levinson). Any advice/help would be appreciated.
