Lexus SUV premium LBX, compact and sporty

Lexus' offering grows with the debut of a new model aimed at the premium B-SUV segment. Due to its features, the LBX is key to the growth of the brand, a hybrid crossover designed to be accessible and easy to drive, in tune with a contemporary style that combines high quality with a casual feel.

Lexus has focused the development of the vehicle based on the preferences, tastes and trends of European customers. At 4.19m in length, the LBX offers strong appeal to a younger audience and those who may not think of Lexus until now. It is also an attractive proposition for those looking to downsize or purchase a second vehicle, meeting their changing lifestyle needs.

Factors such as bodywork, suspension tuning, braking and steering contribute to producing a vehicle that responds instantly and faithfully to the driver's input. There are versions with two and four drive wheels, always with power of 136 HP. It adopts an efficient self-charging hybrid system composed of a three-cylinder gasoline engine and an electric one.

The styling of the LBX establishes a new Lexus identity with a Resolute Look front design that reinterprets Lexus' famous signature double arrowhead grille. While the exterior dimensions are more compact than any other Lexus, the appearance is muscular and powerful.

Thanks to an oriented driving position, controls and information sources are organized in such a way that only small hand and eye movements are required to have everything under control, always keeping attention focused on the road. The cabin has excellent visibility and highlights the wraparound Lexus Digital Cockpit instrument panel of up to 12.3 inches. The new LBX is offered in a choice of four styles, along with a generously equipped base model. These styles express different conceptions of refinement or sportiness through style details, colors, textures and finishes.

The range can be consulted through a new online configurator and includes a special launch edition called Original Edition, with a high level of equipment and exclusive aesthetic details.
