Lexus LBX is a city-friendly, Toyota-based crossover for Europe
, the little hatchback that retired from our market after the 2017 model year, stretched about 6.4 inches longer than the LBX.
European-sized, the LBX — a name that stands for Lexus Breakthrough Crossover — should bring a new, younger set of buyers into the brand's showrooms. It features vaguelyCross-like proportions but it wears a look of its own that's characterized by angular headlights, a toned-down rendition of the familiar spindle grille, a light bar that stretches across the back end and an available two-tone roof panel.
"We have 'deconstructed' the spindle grille to make way for a new design. We've succeeded in creating a new front face identity that's completely different from before yet is instantly recognizable as a Lexus," explained Koichi Suga, theInside, the LBX offers a refreshingly simple layout with a wrap-around dashboard, an available 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and a 9.8-inch touchscreen for the Lexus Link Connect infotainment system.
Power comes from a gasoline-electric hybrid powertrain that consists of a 1.5-liter three-cylinder engine, a nickel-metal hybride pack, and two motor-generator units. The system's total output checks in at 136 horsepower and 136 pound-feet of torque, and it spins the front wheels via a continuously variable transmission . All-wheel drive is available at an extra cost, and buyers who pay for it get an extra electric motor that zaps the rear wheels into motion.
