Lexus LBX unveiled
حجم الخط: ع ع ع
The new Lexus LBX is a baby crossover to stretch the Lexus range down in to the compact SUV marketplace. It’s significant in many ways, not least for its higher volume aspirations, the smallest footprint of any Lexus in history, a new badge and its fresh design, ushering in a distinctive face post-spindle grille.اضافة اعلان


LBX is designed and engineered primarily for the European market, says Lexus, although the hybrid SUV will likely be sold in other continents, too.
Based around the Toyota group’s GA-B global platform like its Toyota Yaris Cross sibling, the Lexus LBX comes with the 1.5-litre hybrid powertrain featuring the latest, more powerful bi-polar nickel-metal hydride batteries for greater range and energy density.
How big is the Lexus LBX?
The LBX is 4190mm long and 1825mm wide, almost precisely shadowing the popular Ford Puma. It’s slap-bang in the middle of the small SUV segment, where it’ll compete with the likes of the VW T-Cross, Volvo XC40 and Mazda CX-30.
