Rumor: Lexus Considers Sub-UX Crossover

[NXracer]

So the NZ is going to be the sub UX crossover?

No, but rather the electrified variant of an NX.

My buddy just spotted this in Socal! Screenshotted from his story and posted with permission. Thought it was NX at first but is significantly smaller and boxier and upright! And a shorter rear end.

Or potentially an NX Coupe? Can't tell if it looks like an NX or not but the rear is definitely shorter.

lol......
this is just the NX nothing new

Unless......the powertrain inside the hood is something we haven't seen before.

Shortly after, Gilleland also hints at performance-focused SUVs and CUVs from Lexus.

New render:

It's from a Spanish website:

Descubrimos el futuro Lexus LBX, un B-SUV híbrido y Premium que llegará en 2023

Lexus trabaja en un nuevo crossover eléctrico. La marca japonesa de lujo se meterá de lleno en un segmento hasta ahora inexplorado, el de los B-SUV con una apuesta para contrarrestar a los Premium. El futuro Lexus LBX llegará, según informes, en 2023, y al que te presentamos en este adelanto.

Key indications:
-> LBX trademark to turn into "Lexus BX";
-> It will be shown in 2023;
-> 1.5L Hybrid;
-> To slot bellow the UX/GLA, next to Mini and the older Q2 segment;

Useless, UX not even a lexus

So basically this will replace the CT?

 

[NXracer]

Its basically a cat and mouse game.

Germans: Launch X1s
Lexus: Take my CT replacement
Germans: Well heres our answer

And as long as they can plaster a Luxury badge, put some creature comforts that arent available with a say a mainstream badge, maybe some funky math its gets produced.

New teaser from Predict Cars:

 

[Gor134]

That looks.. tall. The original teaser made it look like a low car with a low beltline lol.

 

[Levi]

Wait, so that is their new F car?

 

[spwolf]

looks like slightly smaller UX? Basically Yaris Cross sized but in the shape of Lexus?

This is what original rumors said anyway, crossover not a hatchback. Which makes sense since nobody is buying expensive hatchbacks anymore, but small luxury crossovers sell.

Seems like plugin using their 2.0l new phev system like in Prius.

Front looks a bit bland, i sam sure it will end up fine.

New CHR looks like stunner, hopefully this ends up being a stunner too.

 

[spwolf]

this should be Yaris Cross based, but have much better powertrains and interior, probably suspension as well.

Yaris Cross is nice, but interior feels like cardboard in most places, which is fine for B class, except that pricing these days is crazy.
It sells nuts tho, so I guess everyone's pricing in Europe is crazy.
