Introduction to the All-New Lexus LBX
Lexus has revealed the all-new LBX, a sleek and compact SUV that is set to redefine the automotive landscape in Europe, Japan, and selected markets1. The LBX, standing for ‘Lexus Breakthrough Crossover’, is a testament to Lexus’ innovative spirit and commitment to delivering exceptional driving experiences. This vehicle represents the newest addition to the Lexus family and is scheduled to hit the market in early 2024.
The LBX is not just another SUV; it’s the smallest SUV offering from Lexus, exclusively furnished with a hybrid powertrain. The design and engineering of the LBX takes cues from the Toyota Yaris Cross, but with a distinct Lexus flair that sets it apart from its counterparts. The unique blend of hybrid efficiency and compact yet spacious design makes the LBX an intriguing proposition for those who desire sustainability without compromising on luxury and comfort.
Design and Specifications: The Compact Powerhouse
At first glance, the LBX might seem compact, but its dimensions tell a different story. The LBX measures 4,190 mm in length, 1,825 mm in width, and 1,545 mm in height, riding on a wheelbase of 2,580 mm1. This makes it slightly larger than the Toyota Yaris Cross, yet still 305 mm shorter than the Lexus UX. The compact dimensions of the LBX, however, do not compromise its spacious interior and comfortable driving experience.
The LBX has been developed with the European market in mind, but its appeal is undeniably global. It competes within the subcompact segment (B-SUV), going head-to-head with vehicles such as Stellantis’ DS 3 crossover. The LBX’s design takes into account the growing demand for compact SUVs that offer both efficiency and power, creating a vehicle that truly stands out in its category.

As the smallest SUV in the Lexus range, the LBX represents a new direction for the brand. With its unique blend of compact size, hybrid powertrain, and luxurious design, the LBX is not just an SUV; it’s a breakthrough crossover.
As we eagerly await its debut in early 2024, the all-new Lexus LBX promises to be a game-changer. Its arrival will signal a new era for Lexus and the SUV market, redefining what it means to be a compact SUV.
