Lexus LBX Megathread

[ericjtsang]

If the BX/LBX is based on the Yaris Cross, it would be one size smaller than the UX (which is based on the Toyota C-HR and Corolla Hatchback), so it would not be a replacement for the UX.

It also would not be available in North America, where the UX (and C-HR) are already too small.

LBX must be tiny because the UX seemed so small when i sat in it :O

The UX isn't too small. It fits my 6ft. tall self perfectly.

The UX -- and no doubt the BX/LBX -- will fit the 6ft / 2m tall (North American and European male) driver but the back seat is tight (definitely not sized for the 6ft / 2m tall male but more suited for children not in child seats) and the cargo area is really small. These are aimed at commuters and not at families. If you are looking for a more family-friendly vehicle, Lexus will sell you the NX or RX.

Correct. For one or two people the UX is fine. I'm a solo act so it suits me perfectly. But if you have anything bigger than newborns or toddlers you're going to need something bigger.

I thought you were saying the UX was too small for anybody or in general.

Any chance it is related to the crown sport cross?

Not if the LBX is based on the Yaris Cross. The Yaris Cross rides on the GA-B platform; the FWD Crowns ride on the 2-size larger GA-K platform.

Here’s the translation by Twitter.
”LBX, the new model in the B-SUV class, developed by the Japanese premium automotive brand Lexus upon the request of the European market, was introduced in Milan. I will convey my impressions, details and goals about the vehicle on June 5, when the embargo will end. But quite ambitious.”

Is this man 8 ft tall or is the LBX have the same ride height as a GR 86?

Lexus really is different than before…
LM for Asia due to requests
TX here due to requests
BLX in Europe due to requests

They really are moving away from one vehicle all markets no matter if it’s good for that market

F for enthusiasts due to requests also?

Here it is!

I got the interior too~😂

Looks a lot cleaner than the UX, assuming they are both around the same price range.
Center stack is reminiscent of recent M-Benz products.
Is that full 12.3'' gauge cluster?

321 say cheese~

Smaller than a crown sport. Similar size to UX but a foot shorter.

Interior is very nice design wise.

Engine on the other hand, for 40k € is way too weak..

 

[larryren]

Feel little bit sad... in spy shot for CG like CT revival.... In fact it more refine Yaris Cross with hi-output hybrid powertrain....

 

[Gecko]

Not sure about the design… it kind of looks like a cute frog. It is clean overall though.

Interior door panel has more stitching and trim than the TX 😂

I still don’t understand “LBX” as the name - I was thinking the concept would be called “LBX” and the production model would be “BX” but this seems headed to production as LBX…? Strange the only other model outside of the LFA with this type of name is the cheapest?

What’s next, LSX 👀

 

[bogglo]

Lol the market it was made for will be happy to have it. Maybe if the demand is there they will get an FSP. I like the interior. Really nice

 

[Gor134]

Does look like a cute angry frog lmao... not sure if the design is distinctive enough though for the "lifestyle-city CUV" segment though..

The competition for reference:


On second thought.. maybe the LBX does stand a chance 😁 And the Audi Q2 exiting the market is also opening some potential for market share.

Also just realized, first production Lexus with the upside-down, reversed L in the headlights first shown with the Lexus GT3 Concept.



On an off-topic note, I wonder if the production TX is also going to be switching from the regular L-position to the upside down, reversed.
