2023 LEXUS LBX 15L e-CVT FWD (136 HP)

Vehicle Overview

Lexus, established in 1989, has a rich history of innovation and redefining luxury in the automotive industry. The latest addition to its lineup, the Lexus LBX, is a revolutionary compact hybrid SUV that challenges the norms of traditional luxury cars and aims to revolutionize the brand.

The LBX incorporates an advanced self-charging hybrid system with a compact, lightweight 1.5-liter three-cylinder engine. Key components of the hybrid system, such as the transaxle and power control unit, have undergone significant improvements to enhance efficiency, minimize losses, reduce weight, and achieve a more compact size.

Additionally, a newly developed NiMH battery enables additional electric motor assistance during acceleration, extending the car’s all-electric EV driving range.

Setting itself apart, the LBX introduces a disruptive approach to the conventional grade strategy. It offers customers the freedom to express their tastes and styles through a choice of four unique atmospheres in addition to the base grade of the vehicle.

These atmospheres express elegant, dynamic, or sporty themes through distinctive styling details, colors, textures, and finishes. Furthermore, the LBX provides a personalized option through the Lexus Bespoke Build program.

With its compact dimensions, the LBX provides an excellent vantage point from the steering wheel, allowing the driver to experience heightened confidence, comfort, and control in alignment with the Lexus Driving Signature.

Meticulous attention has been given to the hoods’ shaping and the front pillars’ design and placement, resulting in minimized blind spots and an extended downward view. These features improve steering precision, enabling the driver to navigate through more precise routes.

At the front, the LBX displays a seamless and frameless grille, accentuating the car’s dynamic presence and defining the athletic lines of its body. The rear of the vehicle commands attention with a distinct stance.

The license plate has been relocated to the bumper to emphasize the prominence of the LEXUS signature on the back door, creating a clean and spacious surface for the signature to shine.

Built on the GA-B small car global architecture platform, the LBX benefits from a low center of gravity, wide tracks, short overhangs, and a highly rigid body, resulting in confident and comfortable driving dynamics.

The hybrid system delivers enjoyable performance with instant acceleration and enhanced fuel efficiency. The LBX also offers the Lexus E-Four all-wheel drive option, providing added stability and confidence.

Inside the LBX, simplicity, elegance, and high quality are evident. It offers a range of premium materials, including a vegan-friendly option. The driver’s cockpit ensures controls and information sources are within easy reach, enhancing accessibility while driving.

The LBX features a 12.3-inch fully digital instrument display and an optional head-up display meant to keep the driver updated and informed all the time. The Lexus Link Connect system integrates advanced multimedia and infotainment features in the cars’ cockpit, including cloud-based navigation.
