Lexus will launch the new LBX in 2023. This small SUV, which Lexus is on a mission to change the hierarchy of luxury cars, made its world premiere in Milan, Italy. Various manufacturers, including Toyota, have proposed small luxury cars in the past, but without success, and Lexus has decided to take the challenge head-on. Akio Toyoda was the key to the creation of this car.
Lexus has unveiled its new model, the LBX, which is a small luxury car that is quite different from the Yaris Cross. The design team wanted to create a car with good proportions and packaging, and President Sato encouraged them to take risks. The LBX has a compact but emotional design with a low center of gravity and a seamless grill. The car is 4190mm long, 1825mm wide, and 1560mm high in Europe, but in Japan, it is 1550mm high with a shark fin antenna. The LBX has a condensed and bold form with short overhangs and tires placed at the four corners.

The interior features the TAZUNA cockpit design from the NX model, but with a different concept and design for better visibility. The quality of the materials and design is high, despite the need to balance with the price point of a smaller model. The driving position has been adjusted for a better sense of unity with the car, and while the LBX is technically based on the GA-B platform, it has been heavily customized for this specific model.

The LBX has a hybrid powertrain with a 1.5L engine and bipolar nickel-hydrogen battery, which can produce a system output of 100 kW. The LBX has a focus on electric driving and offers a “rich electric” driving experience.
