A few weeks ago, we reported on the news that Lexus would soon be unveiling a brand new car. Well that time has now come, as Lexus has now lifted the curtain on the LBX, a self-charging hybrid electric car that is regarded as the "smallest Lexus yet".
Lexus promises that this SUV will be an entry-level vehicle that is customisable with an array of "different, refined, dynamic, or sporty themes". As for the size of the car, it clocks in at 4,190 mm in length, by 1,825 mm wide, by 1,545 mm in height, all with a 2,580 mm wheelbase.
As for what will power the LBX, we're told that it will feature a 1.5-litre three cylinder engine alongside an electric motor that promises a full potential power of 134 bhp/100 kW with a peak torque of 185Nm.
Inside the LBX will be a 12.3-inch full digital instrument display that can be customised depending on drive mode. The centre console will also be a large multimedia touchscreen that is tilted back and houses two cup holders, multiple storage points and USB ports.
There's no word on exact prices for the LBX just yet, but we are told that it will enter full production later this year before first orders are shipped in March 2024.
