Lexus has recently revealed some initial information about its brand-new model called LBX. Based on the name with the character X, we can determine that this product belongs to the SUV segment, while the character B indicates that it falls into the small B-class segment.
The revealed image shows that the front part of the LBX is relatively short. The front grille is a flat design, and the main headlights are connected together by a chrome strip. The rear image only shows the continuous rear lights with a folded design.
The LBX is expected to share the platform with the Toyota Yaris Cross, making it the smallest SUV in the Lexus lineup. If it shares the GA-B platform of the Yaris Cross, the overall dimensions of the Lexus LBX will be 4,180 x 1,765 x 1,560 mm (length x width x height).
The Yaris Cross model is equipped with a hybrid engine consisting of a 1.5L VVT-i gasoline engine and 2 or 3 electric motors depending on the version. This engine generates a power output of 114 horsepower and a maximum torque of 120 Nm.
The compact size of the Lexus LBX will be suitable for the European and Asian markets. It is highly likely that this B-segment SUV will soon have plans to be distributed in Vietnam. Currently, Lexus’s SUV product range in Vietnam includes 4 models: NX, RX, GX, and LX, with a starting price of 3.13 – 8.5 billion VND.
