STYLISH AND SOPHISTICATED LBX CONFIRMED FOR AUSTRALIA

Lexus has reimagined the compact luxury vehicle for youthful and urban buyers with the all-new LBX, which stands for Lexus Breakthrough X (cross)-over.

The all-new Lexus LBX will make its Australian debut as one of the showcase vehicles at the 2023 Lexus Melbourne Cup in November, with Lexus confirming the chic, compact, urban SUV will go on sale in Australia in the first half of next year.

A sophisticated, strong presence

The LBX’s bold design and wide stance delivers a commanding presence that far exceeds the constraints of its compact body size.

The smooth tapered bonnet and angled head lamps give the impression of forward motion, while from the side the minimal front and rear overhangs and low riding stance give the LBX a well-planted look. The sportiness extends to the rear with roof spoiler and lower bumper with a grooved recess on each side sweeping towards the tyres. The latest Lexus signature design aesthetic is evident with L-shaped rear lamps, horizontal LED strip light and LEXUS lettering centred on the lift back door.

Human-centred for Seamless Connection

The Tazuna concept of “human-centred” interior design is evident with functions and controls intuitively placed, meaning minimal eye movement for driver and eyes forward with maximum attention on the road. This not only maximises safety but makes for relaxed driving.

The dashboard display uses a 12.3-inch full LCD screen for exceptional presentation of key vehicle information, with the 9.8-inch centre console touchscreen offering the latest in multimedia technology and operation of further vehicle controls and features.
