Lexus starts 2024 with the LBX sometime in the first half of the year. Lexus is adding bling and Lexus flash to a Toyota Yaris Cross for buyers with a little more cash yet want something small and easy to park.
2023 was Lexus’ biggest year since coming to Australia 33 years ago with the LS400. LBX first appeared in Australia as a “Lexus star car” in Flemington’s birdcage during the Melbourne Cup.
The new Lexus LBX has two trim levels and two drivetrains, all with the 100kW 1.5-litre three-cylinder hybrid system.
LBX Luxury has NuLuxe leather sport front seats, with memory power adjustment for the driver and heating for both. The cockpit is dominated by a 12.3-inch LCD screen, with tasty features like a power back door, rain-sensing wipers and Panoramic View Monitor to add extra value.

ABOVE: 2024 Lexus LBX
LBX makes good use of the compact body, and with 18-inch alloy, looks far more stylish than the overpriced Yaris sibling. LBX Luxury has two-wheel drive, while Sports Luxury has both two-wheel and all-wheel drive. The latter has more equiopment, with what Lexus claims is the omotenashi promise of anticipating customers’ needs.
LBX Sports Luxury has Ultrasuede leather accented seats, auto park, active noise control and dynamic 13-speaker Mark Levinson Premium Surround Sound.
Lexus Australia Chief Executive John Pappas said the LBX has all the premium features and Takumi craftsmanship expected by Lexus customers.
“The all-new LBX breaks new ground for Lexus. It is proof that luxury is not dictated by vehicle size,” he said.
“With LBX our designers have created a modern and compact urban SUV that delivers big on Lexus fundamentals of quality and craftsmanship, while offering responsive performance and great dynamics.”
Lexus LBX pricing will be revealed as the launch date draws nearer. With Yaris Cross pricing already being princely, will the Lexus flash warrant the extra cash? The interior of the Yaris Cross is on the cheap side so if Lexus is able to banish the pov feel, it might well be worth a look.
