Introducing the highly-anticipated Lexus LBX: A compact crossover making waves in the automotive world. Rumors about an upgraded Yaris Cross have been circulating for years, and now we finally have the official unveiling of the LBX. This remarkable vehicle serves as Lexus' newest entry-level model, filling the void left by the discontinuation of the CT hatchback. Built on the GA-B platform shared with its Toyota sibling, the LBX features unique styling elements that perfectly align with Lexus' distinctive design language, both inside and out.

Measuring 4190 millimeters (165 inches) in length, 1825 mm (71.8 in) in width, and 1545 mm (60.8 in) in height, the LBX stands proudly, showcasing its compact yet dynamic proportions. Surprisingly, it surpasses the Yaris Cross in size, and with a weight of 1,280 kilograms (2,821 pounds), it exudes a sturdy and substantial presence. The LBX will be available in both front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive configurations, equipped with a continuously variable transmission to ensure smooth and efficient power delivery.

At the core of the LBX lies a remarkable hybrid powertrain. Anchored by a three-cylinder, 1.5-liter gasoline engine, it produces an impressive combined output of 134 horsepower (100 kilowatts) and a maximum torque of 185 Newton-meters (136 pound-feet). With this electrified powerplant, the LBX boasts an exhilarating 0 to 62 mph (100 km/h) acceleration time of 9.2 seconds, while also providing a remarkable maximum towing capacity of 750 kilograms (1,653 pounds).

Equipped with a MacPherson strut front suspension and a torsion beam or a double wishbone rear suspension (depending on the drivetrain), the LBX ensures a balanced and comfortable ride for all occupants. Notably, the all-wheel-drive variant incorporates an electric motor at the rear, enhancing its performance and handling capabilities. To further optimize its weight distribution, the LBX features an aluminum hood and utilizes molded resin wheel arches, rockers, and lower door sections.

Stepping inside the LBX, you're greeted by a modern and technologically advanced cabin. The centerpiece is a 12.3-inch fully digital instrument cluster that seamlessly integrates with an optional head-up display, providing vital information at a glance. Complementing the cluster is a user-friendly 9.8-inch touchscreen infotainment system, which supports both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto for seamless smartphone integration. However, it's worth noting that only Apple CarPlay offers wireless connectivity. Elevating the in-car audio experience, Lexus has partnered with renowned audio specialist Mark Levinson to deliver an immersive 13-speaker sound system, complete with a powerful subwoofer.

When it comes to practicality, the LBX excels. The front-wheel-drive model offers a generous cargo capacity of 332 liters (11.7 cubic feet) with the rear seats in place, providing ample room for your everyday needs. Although the all-wheel-drive variant may sacrifice a bit of practicality due to the additional hardware, Lexus ensures that no compromises have been made in terms of quality and attention to detail. In fact, the LBX represents a significant milestone for Lexus, as it is the first model primarily developed in Europe, reflecting the brand's commitment to catering to the European market's unique preferences and demands.

Excitingly, the production of the Lexus LBX is set to commence by the end of this year, with its arrival in European markets and other regions expected in early 2024. As the automotive world eagerly awaits the LBX's official release, it's clear that this compact crossover will make a bold statement with its exceptional design

, advanced hybrid powertrain, and premium features, solidifying its position as a standout contender in the entry-level luxury segment.
