WHAT CAR? SAYS★★★★★
THINK LEXUS MAKES only big, expensive cars? Well, think again, because the LBX is a small SUV with a comparatively small price tag. Yet despite this, there’s nothing cut price about how it looks, feels or drives.
The interior is the classiest you’ll find in any small SUV, with plush materials and rock-solid build quality, even if it’s a little tight in the rear seats. Our recommended Premium Plus trim offers the best balance of equipment and price; standard kit includes a head-up display that projects the most important information onto the windscreen in the driver’s line of sight.
