I'd be surprised if Lexus will debut any brand new exciting production cars.

There has been rumours about an updated GR Yaris with 300 hp and the option of an 8AT that will debut at TAS 2024 though.

Yup the GR Yaris will be unvieled.

The LBX MORIZO RR CONCEPT is based on the new Lexus LBX, a segment-defying compact vehicle that redefined the conventional notion of luxury cars when it went on sale in November 2023. It is equipped with Lexus’ first 1.6-liter, inline 3-cylinder engine with intercooler and turbo (the G16E-GTS) and is a concept model with further-honed basic vehicle elements that enable the driver to interact with the car and pursue driving fun.

European-spec GR Yaris only has 280 hp lol, probably got shafted by their extremely strict emissions regulations.

The LBX Morizo RR Concept is what people have proposed for the UX. A fun hot hatch Lexus. Shame we won't get it.
I think the LBX concept is pretty cool but I can see why their isn't a "fun" UX. It moved 12k units last year. The GX almost outsold it 3:1. I just don't think many people are dying to spend $50k on a Lexus the size of a Corolla. Acura can maybe make a case because there is some pent up demand for the Integra nameplate, but even then, I think they will struggle to keep sales high.

IMO, the UX needs more of an overhaul on packaging than anything else. The 5th gen hybrid update will be quite the improvement and I think make it a really great car*. Finding some way to make use of the entire cargo area would be a big step forward. Right now the non-hybrid battery is parked back there and that limits the space. The sloped rear glass also hurts.

*mainly because my wife has decided that she wants a UX 300h to replace her Clubman S haha. Should be here in May.
