LBX: A Compact Luxury Standout
The Lexus LBX, the brand’s smallest and most urban-focused crossover, offers a dynamic and fuel-efficient hybrid system powered by a 1.5L engine and a bipolar battery, delivering 136 hp. With an average fuel consumption of 4.4 L/100 km and optional E-FOUR all-wheel drive, the LBX excels in both city maneuverability and light off-road capability. Its 220 mm ground clearance adds versatility, while its compact dimensions make it a perfect fit for urban life.
Personalization and Global Appeal
The LBX introduces innovative personalization options, with thematic variants that combine unique materials, textures, and details to suit individual tastes. This creativity, paired with its luxury features, has driven significant success across markets. In Poland alone, 2,120 units were sold within nine months of its March 2024 debut.
Chris Hayes, Lexus UK Director, described the LBX as “a groundbreaking model” that brings “true luxury and personalization to the small SUV segment.” These accolades further cement Lexus’s reputation for blending exceptional design, engineering, and customer care.
