Lexus has just dropped a turbocharged bombshell: the 2025 Lexus LBX Morizo RR, the brand’s most performance-focused compact luxury car yet, will arrive in Australia in the first half of 2025, priced from $76,490 plus on-road costs.

Promising the perfect marriage of luxury and adrenaline-pumping thrills, the LBX Morizo RR reimagines Lexus Driving Signature, blending confidence-inspiring handling with unbridled power. Under its sculpted bonnet lies a first for Lexus: a 1.6-litre turbocharged three-cylinder engine punching out an impressive 206kW and 390Nm of torque. Coupled with an all-wheel-drive system and limited-slip differential, this feisty compact SUV is redefining what it means to be a small luxury car.

According to Lexus Australia Chief Executive John Pappas, the LBX Morizo RR is designed for drivers who want the best of both worlds. “It’s faithful to the Lexus ‘yet’ approach: rewarding yet luxurious, and stirring yet sophisticated,” he said. “It’s a performance Lexus you can drive—and live with—every day.”

Beyond its punchy drivetrain, the Morizo RR takes the LBX platform to the next level with a lower centre of gravity, precision-tuned suspension, and sports-oriented styling. Its exclusive 19-inch alloy wheels, aerodynamic flourishes, and dual-tip exhaust elevate its look to match the performance. The cabin gets red stitching on its black leather-accented sports seats, steering wheel, and gear shift, adding good old-fashioned “go-quick” style.

And in case you’re wondering about the name, “Morizo” is a moniker Akio Toyoda—the Global Chairman of Lexus—reserves for cars so good, he’d park them in his personal garage. Bold flex, Lexus.

But this isn’t just about raw power—it’s about control. The Direct Shift 8-speed automatic with paddle shifters ensures smooth yet punchy acceleration, while its Torsen rear differential keeps cornering tight and tidy. And let’s not forget the high-performance brakes, which will bring all that turbocharged fun to a quick halt when needed.

LBX is Lexus’ 3rd best seller after launching earlier this year, so the Morizo RR adds a touch of fiery exclamation mark to Lexus’ compact SUV lineup. Details on the Australian launch , but LBX Morizo RR should be a fun and frisky alternative to something German.

LBX is handsome and stylish, and has a pleasing turbocharged growl, so stay tuned for updates with full details will be revealed closer to launch.
