2024 Lexus LBX Sports Luxury v Toyota C-HR GR Sport Comparison | Sporty versus luxury plot twist

[@dianadykes5567]

I’ve owned both and really liked both. The chr looks great and drives well but is plasticky inside. The lbx is incredibly economical to drive and just feels so good inside. It’s my winner.

[@vodamark]

Dude, you can customize the C-HR dash graphics to look exactly the same as on that Lexus. There are several themes to choose from in settings.

[@minka25]

Love people crying in the comments for the prices without knowing anything about todays car price market. Its totally crazy, its expensive but you dont buy a new car now for 10.000€ like 15 years ago. Get an VW or Audi and you pay even more without any features. These cars give pretty much value for the price. Waiting for my LBX Cool (highest trim, 40k€) to arrive after looking and testing many cars over 1 year. Its the best if you dont need a big car and wanna drive comfy. And without having the ability to charge an EV. You can costumize the Dashboard in nearly 1000 ways. You can set up the exact same from the Lexus in the Toyota and the other way round. Plus many many more settings, layouts and optics :)

3 cylinders .....no matter what they do to advertise it, this is just a toy, not a premium car.

@@myslecinaczej8674 For you. I’m Happy with mine. I don’t need a big car with huge power to keep my life running.

[@myslecinaczej8674]

@@minka25 you do not get the point: It is not about a small car, it is about the 3 cylinder engine, which simply is cost cutting and certainly not a premium powerplant. They still sell the UX, also small and now refreshed, including the latest gen. Of the hybrid system. And yes, it has a proper, 4 cylinder engine.

@@myslecinaczej8674 30cm longer and ugly in my opinion. Way smaller electric motor in comparison to the LBX system power. LBX is fine with 3 cylinder, especially because it has the strongest electric:petrol motor ratio in any fullhybrid.

[@myslecinaczej8674]

@@minka25 ok. If it is too big for you that is fine. Ugly? Few people call it ugly (to me LBX is ...well maybe not ugly but say casual. But it is of course personal taste). The hybrid system is now refreshed on the UX so this little electric motor (indeed it was another joke from Lexus) is now decent.

[@HAT-hb1br]

Lexus LBX all the way!!!! Fantastic car!!!!

[@marinercegovic8049]

If I was going to buy one of those it would be C-HR. It has more rear passanger space, bigger boot capacity and 4 cylinders. I would go for 1.8 insted of 2.0 and got myself lower trim level and save 20.000 dollars. My 2 cents.

[@JeremyGeduldt]

The first generation Toyota CHR did came to South Africa from Australia .

[@mikejoseph425]

The C-HR comes alive if you order the PHEV which can’t be had on the Lexus. The performance is very good and if generally you drive within 40 miles between top ups ( from home especially off peak rate ) the C-HR is way cheaper to run. Ironically you can’t get the Lexus in PHEV and you can’t get the Toyota with 4 wheel drive? In the UK you get up to 10 years warranty or 100,000 miles subject to annual service by a Toyota dealer

[@ApiRos-s9i]

I am having this dilemma , it's a really hard choice ! The lbx should only be bought at its awd version , for the better multilink rear suspension . the chr needs advanced rear view and pvm equipment and this is extra costly. the gr option can have awd, but the plug in version cannot and the plug in sacrificed weight, boot space and ground clearance. my needs include both heavy urban driving and tight parking and long road driving with an occasional snowy surprise.

[@mikejoseph425]

I looked at the Lexus v C-HR and the Lexus as it is supposed to was much more luxurious but coming from an all electric I wanted a Plug in which is not available on a Compact Lexus so I chose the C-HR and it is a lovely car in all ways as long as you are not overly concerned about rear space, though I do not understand why the rear doors do not open wider

I choose the C-HR (not in GR), you get much more car for less money, the LBX is still a Yaris Cross , just wrapped in better materials. All safety systems and multimedia are exactly the same on C-HR, which has also nice ambient lighting, better space on second row, so it’s much more versatile too.

[@---sl4mr]

Hello, which high-end SUV would you consider wisely priced and therefore advise to someone looking for this kind of vehicle ?

[@myslecinaczej8674]

@---sl4mr This size SUV will not be "a high end" vehicle no matter what brand one chose. Still, if you are looking for a premium vehicle, the first question is if you are looking for a brand traditionally recognized as premium or possible can add some which are technically premium but not considered as "premium". Then, what does the high end mean? Performance? If the smallest Volvo, electric one EX30 will be that one to choose.Small, agile and very, I mean very fast (accel, not max speed). But with a few ergonomical compromises. If it has to be a quality car, but it can be somewhat larger than LBX, and yet reliable, and with a proper power train, I would choose Lexus UX300H. This updated version adopted recent power train which is great. The power is not on the Volvo level, not even close. But still more than adequate. Germans? Possibly Audi Q2, quality may not reach Lexus level but AWD will be top notch. And you may want to look for Mazda CX30. Premium quality but not traditional premium brand. Merry Christmas! I can be with AWD, if you need it occasionally.
