Debuting as the smallest Lexus SUV to date, this is the all-new Lexus LBX.
2021 marked the dawn of a new era for Lexus, with the introduction of the new NX and LX. The path to carbon neutrality also accelerated plans for electrification, and Lexus has kicked things off with plug-in hybrid variants of the NX and RX, followed by the all-electric RZ.
Now, in 2023, Lexus is expanding its lineup even further with three new models – the LM, GX and this LBX.
The driving force behind the LBX was none other than the visionary Lexus Master Driver, Akio Toyoda. Driven by a desire to redefine the very essence of luxury cars, Toyoda aimed to surpass the limitations imposed by a compact platform. The goal was to create a vehicle that would resonate with discerning customers shopping for luxury crossovers.
Design wise, the LBX embodies the “Premium Casual” philosophy. Its exterior is bold and dynamic, donning Lexus’ latest “Unified Spindle” front fascia design.
Likewise, the cabin’s main focus was a premium environment that exudes top-tier quality. The goal was to create an inviting and serene space that ‘fosters seamless connectivity between the driver and the car’. Whatever that means.
Lexus is also introducing a “Bespoke Build” program, empowering customers to tailor their LBX to their individual lifestyles and preferences.
There isn’t a date as to when the Lexus LBX will come to Singapore, but given the mad craze for crossovers here, it’s only a matter of time.
