LBX was created on the basis of GA-B, in terms of chassis and load-bearing body frame it is unified with Toyota Yaris Cross (in its global incarnation). At the same time, all the external elements of the Lexus are original - they form their own and more “emotional” exterior than those of Toyota.

In the basic configuration, the car has a hybrid installation, consisting of a 1.5-liter Toyota M15A-FXE gasoline engine, a CVT, a nickel-metal hydride battery and an electric motor. The drive can be forward or full (option). Total power - 134 hp, torque - 185 Nm. Acceleration from 0 to 100 km / h takes 9.2 seconds, the maximum permissible trailer weight is up to 750 kg.
Inside, there is a 12.3-inch digital instrument panel and a 9.8-inch media system screen. As an option - a projection display. A 13-speaker premium Mark Levinson audio package is also available.
In the front-wheel drive version, the trunk volume of the crossover is 332 liters, in the AWD version it is slightly smaller (it is not specified how much).
LBX will be offered in five styling packages: Cool, Relax, Elegant, Active and Urban. They differ in exterior decor and interior colors. They will also offer ample opportunities for individualization when ordering a car.
