Introduced as “the prototype car with improved basic car elements that allow the driver to interact with the car and pursue driving pleasure,” the LBX Morizo RR Concept is equipped with the Toyota mother company’s 3-cylinder turbocharged gasoline engine, G16E-GTS. This engine is also used on the 2024 GR Yaris, combined with full-time AWD and an 8-speed automatic transmission.
This engine block on the LBX Morizo RR Concept also produces similar power output to the 2024 GR Yaris, with 304 PS at 6,500 rpm and maximum torque of 400 Nm from 3,250 rpm – 4,600 rpm.
The LBX Morizo RR Concept has an overall length of 4,190 mm, width of 1,845 mm (20 mm wider than the base LBX) and height of 1,535 mm (10 mm lower). The car is painted in Sonic Chrome, accompanied by contrasting black details. The distinctive yellow color appears on the grille border and brake calipers, while the ‘Morizo RR’ icon marks the specialness of this concept model.
Lexus also added that the LBX Morizo RR Concept has applied many “exclusive developments” for the car body, suspension system, tires, AWD control system, and 8-speed automatic transmission. The car is equipped with 19-inch forged aluminum wheels from BBS, wrapped in Continental Sportcontact 7 tires.
Inside the cabin, the LBX Morizo RR Concept is equipped with special sports seats in the front with yellow seat belts featuring the Morizo RR symbol and aluminum pedals.
