Does the Lexus UX have a spare tyre?
In most markets, the Lexus UX does not include a full spare tyre. It typically ships with a tyre repair kit and an inflator, and a space-saver spare may be offered on certain trims or regions. Always check your model’s manual or ask a dealer for your specific configuration.
What to expect in most markets
The UX emphasizes compact packaging and weight efficiency, so traditional spare wheels are often not included. Instead, buyers usually receive a puncture repair kit that seals small punctures and re-inflates the tyre, accompanied by a compact air compressor. A temporary spare wheel is sometimes available, but not guaranteed across all markets or model years.
Before listing common configurations, note that regional availability varies and equipment can change between model years.
- Tyre repair kit with sealant and a 12V air compressor
- In some markets or trims, a space-saver (temporary) spare wheel may be included
- Jacking tools and wheel nut wrench are typically provided to assist with a tire repair or spare change
Conclusion for this section: Most owners will rely on the repair kit rather than a full spare, but verify your vehicle’s exact equipment in the trunk and the owner's manual for your specific model.
Regional differences and trims
Equipment can vary by country, so it’s important to confirm what your specific vehicle includes. In Europe and the UK, the UX commonly ships with a tyre sealant repair kit rather than a traditional spare, while some trims or markets may offer a temporary spare wheel as an option. In North America, configurations differ by year and trim; many models rely on a repair kit, with a spare wheel available only in certain packages or generations.
Europe and UK
Europe generally favors a tyre sealant repair kit, with a temporary spare wheel offered only on select trims or markets.
North America
In the United States and Canada, a puncture repair kit is common, and a spare wheel may be included only on specific trims or model years. Always check the exact equipment listed for your vehicle.
Other markets
Markets in Asia, the Middle East, and other regions may follow their own specifications, but the common pattern is repair-kit-based puncture response rather than guaranteed full spare wheels.
Summary
The Lexus UX generally does not come with a full-size spare tyre. Most versions rely on a tyre repair kit with an air compressor, and a temporary spare wheel may appear only in certain trims or markets. For your exact setup, consult the owner's manual or contact your Lexus dealer.
