In recent years, the Japanese luxury brand Lexus has pleasantly surprised us several times with good-looking and innovative models that have always represented the usual niches. But this time, Auto News went to Valencia, Spain to meet Lexus’ LBX small crossover for the first time.
Although only 4.2m long, it’s a real Lexus with a proper stance, explosive optics and magnetic door locks like the latest Lexus RX. Only door pulls are missing! It would be a sensation for cars of this size. However, the windshield washers are directly borrowed from the large sedan Lexus LS. Also, Lexus engineers have worked hard to achieve a noble door closing sound. The 1.5-liter gasoline hybrid engine is the closest point of contact with Toyota. But the Lexus has a bigger battery and, accordingly, more power – 136 hp instead of the usual 116. On request, the LBX will also be able to get electric all-wheel drive. There is no other engine in the LBX. The LBX is the first model in the history of Lexus created exclusively for the European market. And here a natural question arises – Who is the target audience of Lexus LBX? Stop watching TV in Autozinu plot.
