The model
Read full Lexus LBX reviewThe Lexus LBX hits the nail on the head when it comes to its intended purpose. It’s the smallest Lexus you can buy, yet it’s plush inside, cheap to run and very well equipped. You also get the promise of stellar reliability and rock-solid build quality. We recommend the Premium Plus trim for the best balance of kit and cost.
The trim
See full equipmentPremium introduces heated front seats, vegan ‘Tahara’ leather upholstery, rear privacy glass, a wireless smartphone charger, automatic windscreen wipers, ambient cabin lighting (single colour) an auto-dimming rear-view mirror and extra safety features such as a Pre-Collision System with Driver Monitor, a Rear Side Monitor, a Blind Spot Monitor and Safe Exit Assist.
The engine
See full engine specsThe LBX isn’t the fastest small SUV out there (0-62mph takes 9.2 seconds officially) but its hybrid technology makes it one of the most efficient. Besides, the electric motor makes it quick off the line and the engine has enough grunt to accelerate you up to motorway speeds with relative ease.
