The Lexus LBX is a small premium SUV that should rejuvenate its brand. Jonathan Crouch drives it.
Lexus always needed a breakthrough model to attract new generation of younger customers. Here it is, the LBX. Surprisingly, it's not an EV. That's because it's based on Toyota's Yaris Cross, which uses a full-Hybrid drivetrain. But Lexus has re-imagined that design in a far more premium manner.
So. The Lexus LBX. Is it merely a Toyota Yaris Cross with a premium badge? Or the properly Lexus-engineered small entry-level model the company has always needed? Perhaps it doesn't matter. This car, a self-charging full-Hybrid designed in Europe for Europe, is the model that will really push its brand forward. In the past, we've always rather respected Lexus for not simply re-badging a small Toyota and creating a big-selling entry model that would rack up sales but diminish its brand. The closest the company came to that was with the Prius-based CT200h hatch, sold between 2011 and 2020, but that was still very much its own car, fundamentally re-engineered for 'Lexus-ness'.

LEXUS made a proper luxury car on the TOYOTA Yaris platform.
Something AUDI keeps failing to do with their VW platforms, and ends up with overprived Golfs, Crosses and Tiguans.

Wow, I come from a time when wings rusted and needed welding back on, windows leaked, heaters didn't work until you had driven several miles, if it started first time it was a bonus and even wheels fell off ( yes one of mine did on a Morris Ital ) my dads car had a starting handle !!!!!! this car was the stuff of dreams back then, it makes me laugh when some criticize it 🙂
This is definitely top of my shortlist, I currently have a Mokka which is great, but I need a non manual now and a bit more luxury.

Best review channel and best narration

[@robertreid9079]

Other reviewers I would also always recommend are Autogefuhl and The Car Care Nut.

[@CarandDrivingCarReviews]

Wow, thanks!

The tyres look too big I would prefer to see lower profile ones with a bigger wheel. I love the fact that a premium small car is here and who better than Lexus to bring it. The top of the range is however very expensive and I’m that person who loves their Mark Levinson hifi and as I’m looking to change down from an NX to a smaller size and still wanting that premium feel.

[@gerrycollins2335]

Not for me: big wheels and narrow tyres may look sporty, but they don't absorb the bumps on our poor road surfaces, they are less fuel-efficient than small wheels and normal tyres, and the wheels are likely to be damaged scraping on kerbs.

CVT as part of a hybrid system is far more effective than with a standard non hybrid engine. Allows seemless transition between modes in normal UK driving.

A bit confused why lexus designers rejected of using l finess in front wiew. But anyway lbx is attractive. Waiting for ct200h to be reborn

[@jamiep61]

I enjoyed watching the Video Review, more stylish than the Toyota Yaris Cross 😊

[@CarandDrivingCarReviews]

Thanks!

[@tomcat7525]

CVT transmission in a luxury car?

[@dominicr4740]

😲🥱😴

[@Walry95]

All Lexus/Toyota Hybrid cars are using CVT transmission which is more efficient and more reliable than dual clutch transmission.

[@squod1]

This seems like a lot of nanny tech in what should be a basic car.

[@SOMEONE-ME]

You have plenty of 'basic' cars in this segment. Whole point is to sell something different. Something which other brands seems to be abandoning at all.
