Prices will start from £29,995 that’s around £5,000 more than the Toyota Yaris Cross. Even the entry Premium cars getting a rear camera, heated seats. What do you think?

[@DJAYPAZ]

Definitely want heated seats. I always try to upgrade every time I change cars. A reversing camera would be an upgrade for me !!

[@paulmackintosh9964]

Hi Tish,, This is for me, a GREAT car from Lexus and great to hear they have produced colours that are more up to date, excellent. An excellent video as is your standard Tish, thank you. You mention that Lexus are aiming this at the younger sector, whilst I cannot claim to be one anymore this car would suit me to a T, great looks, fabulous interior etc. There is one point re pricing, I noticed the starting price from just under £30k, however, for the upgraded models and with Politicians consistently persecuting the motorist, ie the added 5 year tax on cars costing £40k and more, I would hope that Lexus have pitched this car under that threshold for the top model. Thanks again for your superb presentations to us all. Paul

Hi Tish,Ilove all your videos, the quality of this is amazing, id love to know what you filmed it with but maybe that's your trade secret. Anyway this car Kinna reminds me of the Lexus CT,although that's not an SUV there is a niche and this looks like its filling the void.What do you think?

[@barriepountney3598]

It's a very nice car certainly would not have it in the yellow/orange colour I agree with you the copper is the nicest, weather you can justify the extra say 5000 for the Lexus against the Toyota I am not sure for basically a city car .Have a fabulous Christmas and New year and keep up all your brilliant reviews 😊

[@jdmguy44]

I agree. Very smart inside and out. It looks very well executed which is what I'd expect. I would definitely consider this. I know from experience that the Toyota hybrid tech is very effective and very efficient in the real world. One small thing though, I'm not sure how these quite large wheels and low profile tyres would stack up on rubbish roads. Would rather have smaller wheels and high profile tyres.

[@AutoSocialUK]

Hopefully we can start speccing them online soon because there is some really cool combinations. Especially brown leather, I love brown leather!

[@MiniEggs1999]

I was going to ask about the lower screen and you beat me to it. It’s fine if just radio and aircon but when navigating I can’t stand the “head bob” Merc I think were one of the first with two high screens but they too have gone this route which I think is as big a mistake as removing real buttons. Happy Christmas

[@alanpotter7988]

I have a Yaris cross, it handles well and isn’t as noisy as people make out, the Lbx 9:17 does look nice though, afaik it doesn’t come with a split boot floor so there’s a high lip to lift stuff over

42 years old and i would buy if i could.

Does the top of the range come with Mark Levinson hifi? To me it looks similar to all small hatchbacks but with a premium interior although Mazda also do premium interior with more power.

Reliability, reliability, and reliability come standard with all Lexus products 👶 Yes, I know, people only used to AUDI, BMW, and Mercedes believe it is normal that their cars break down once in a while, the gearbox is destroyed when the warranty ends, not to mention that famous VW-Group 2.0 engine block that ever so often cracks up and splits in two 🤣🤣🤣

[@SuperStewfart]

We traded our BMW X3 for a Lexus NX450H+ in March and we love it. Rarely need to add petrol. We have ordered an LBX in red with a black roof with the highest specification and that includes 4WD. The car is just to go to the supermarket and short journeys around town (Sunshine Coast of Queensland). We have been told to expect about 4l/100km and that is fine for the small annual travel as a second car. A really nice advantage of having 2 Lexus is that the turn indicators are on the same side and all the instrumentation is the same. This allows us to ditch our little Citroen C3 2021 to the first of our 4 grandchildren.

[@ekimandersom4478]

So you are rich, ok

[@SuperStewfart]

@@ekimandersom4478 not sure what that means. We spend our money wisely, having earned it and reached 77 years old. If you are referring to giving the Citroen away -we want our grandchildren to have new cars that are up to date and safe compared with the cars we had at 17. The NX is a good size for highway driving but it is bigger than we like for town driving. I think it is good use of money.

[@ekimandersom4478]

@@SuperStewfart A car is never a good use of money actually. But ofc when you are 77 you should just enjoy and buy whatever you want.

[@brandontr8946]

Hi I'm at NSW and the agent does not disclose much on specs/pricing. Wonder how much have you been told on the top specs with 4WD? Congrats on your buy, the LBX is the perfect package for urban driving imo.

[@SuperStewfart]

@@brandontr8946 I can tell you exactly. I received an email from Lexus Maroochydore yesterday with an updated contract. Staff are being trained on the car in Sydney this month so numbers are just coming available. I am looking forward to a test drive in the not too distant future although I don’t need convincing.. $63,743 including registration and stamp duty in QLD. Delivery is forecast for August but I will not be surprised if the delivery is delayed. The car is LBX Sports Luxury 1.5L Hybrid Auto CVT SUV (4714610 C0 FA21 2TB 001) Rich Ruby Two−Tone. Upholstery is Black/Dark Gray Suede (Comb).

[@FilmScape4K]

The car suits you Tish for running around town :)

[@PanagiotisKartsanis]

Hello there. Which bi tone color combination do you think goes better with the LBX? Sitting on the fence between sonic white (pearl) with black roof or the sonic copper with the black roof. What do you think? This is highly appreciated. Btw your review was excellent!

[@AutoSocialUK]

That’s a very difficult decision, as I think the car with White 🚘 bodywork looks very similar to the GR Yaris, which in my opinion is a good thing! However, I absolutely love sonic copper and think it stands out from anything else on the road. Very tough choice and sorry for not being able to make a decision.

[@artieartya]

They definitely gotta make cuter colors like magenta, pink, teal Aruba blue. My daughters would sweep this up as a starter car off to collage.

[@bassicuk1986]

Honestly this fits the younger wife segment. Im 37 and ive had Lexus for the last 6 years. IS250 > RCF > RX450h and honestly this would be perfect as a second car for my family. Where about was this video shot? Looks a bit like Alicante?

[@peterhook8033]

So what spec is it you have tested in the video?

[@markusdeep42]

This is the first time I watch cars review on this KZbin channel. I’m quite excited to view more reviews. But I must admit she impressed me the way she reviewed this Lexus and that’s the best ever review I have watched. In terms of colors I’d definitely pick Payne’s Grey.

[@vijaymistry4169]

I like white and black roof thanks

[@oliverstemp9132]

I much prefer it to the CH-R, and it’s a good car overall. But I’m but sure about that fake leather, maybe a nice cloth would actually be more premium by now, something like the Audi e-tron GT or Renault Scenic has.

[@AutoSocialUK]

Such a shame I couldn’t cover everything but there is SO many interior options; real leather, imitation leather in brown, black and cream, Alcantara and I also I believe a cloth on the entry models

[@filipnovak8165]

Excellent review. Do you know what the volume of the boot is?

[@AutoSocialUK]

994 (992 with subwoofer) and AWD to be confirmed 👍🏼

[@AutoSocialUK]

Wait, I’ve just realised that surely this can’t be correct. That’s huge? 😂 I got that from the press pack, god knows what they’re measuring in. It’s actually 332 litres in the FWD

[@laurentiutrifan8173]

Because the hand-break & the gears-shifter are just buttons nowadays ... the entire central console should be eliminated. More volume for air + more space for legs.

[@elise3376]

It almost looks perfect for me mostly lone driving around town, to and back from work etc..The only things are: It looks a bit too low as compared to other SUV; it didn't look sporty enough to attract a young trendy executive like me and the colour scheme is just normal like most others. I like Lexus brand very much and I will wait for the next design.

[@daviddalton3567]

What about the boot . Can I get two medium sized dogs in there. ..has to be practicle😊

[@67mooncat]

I’m six foot tall and sat in this car at the dealership yesterday: it’s the first time I’ve been in a 4 seat car that I’ve ever had to have the seat in it’s furthest back position to get comfortable in. I only have 31 inch legs. There was almost no legroom left in the back. I liked the look of until that point as it’s not really practical enough for 4 normal sized adults.

[@artieartya]

Kind of funny that a 6 foot tall person would be looking at a car like this. 😂

[@67mooncat]

@@artieartya I can’t see why it’s funny 🤔, plus the car is actually physically bigger than it looks in the videos. It’s just short.

[@cristi724]

​@@artieartya I'm 6 foot and my first car was a Fiat Seicento, it had plenty of space in the front, even slept in the thing once. Don't see what the problem is, you don't need a giant car to move around, you just need one that's designed well.

[@MrGreeneggsnospam]

This is actually a pretty neat offering for those that can afford it. Could be a 2nd Lexus in the family ;-)

[@AutoSocialUK]

I can see a lot of Husbands who have been wanting their wife to change to Lexus but always met with 'they're too big' now buying these!

[@MrGreeneggsnospam]

@@AutoSocialUKagree! We were considering the Yaris Cross but found it too “raw” so we’re waiting a bit - but the LBX got me intrigued so I’m looking forward to a test drive

[@user-bs1wx1tb7e]

It really is a great car for its segment, and will sell quite well i think. It is not much more expensive than the Yaris Cross, yet it is more refined, it is FASTER, and more luxurious. I would definitely buy it if i was in the market for one. Living inside a city and not having children means that this car is perfect. No need to choose between huge premium behemoths or small cheapish cars. I am surpsised more Premium manufacturers do not offer similar cars, there is only Audi A1 all street that is going to retire, and then, what, a Mini? That's about it.

[@cristi724]

I like it, gotta see if I actually fit in it, since the Yaris Cross felt too cramped for me, and I'm not even that large at 1.80m and 75kg.

[@AutoSocialUK]

They're a very similar size. I will get my dad to test it when I have one on loan soon.

[@cristi724]

@@AutoSocialUK I went for a test drive yesterday, it's better than the Yaris Cross but I still couldn't get fully comfortable. Wasn't cramped, just that the adjustments didn't really cover how I sit. Either I couldn't see the dash because of the steering wheel, or my left elbow would be at an awkward position. Got into a UX and it was almost instantly perfect. But the UX is a bit pricier and has somewhat poor practicality imo(small backseats and trunk, poor visibility outside - really bad for motion sickness, especially in a car that rides so smooth) I feel bad because I like how it drives, but I'm not sure the price is worth the compromises.

[@andrewgage6942]

[@janjohnson3414]

What about the boot space? Why is this always missed? I have a 250h UX which I love but the boot space is appallingly bad. Is this any better?

[@cristi724]

Amusingly this has like 10L more than the UX, in the FWD versions.

[@front2427]

That noise will be the cvt gearbox,I take it.

[@TheElderOne28]

I would want to see a comparison with the new Yaris Cross. I don't see any significant practical improvement to justifiy the price. But then ofc you pay for the brand also..

[@cristi724]

I'm curious if the extra noise dampening makes it a good highway commuter, since the Yaris is not known for being a quiet car. If you only need to commute by yourself or 1 extra person, this segment makes a lot of sense. And german brands charge you more by the time you option out everyhing that's base on the Lexus.

[@Saboman]

What would you choose between this and chr, both in basic editions Thanks

[@cristi724]

If you don't mind the very claustrophobic rear seats, the CHR would be my pick. I can't get a CHR because everyone in my family is car sick, so they need big windows in the back. But in the front is feels very spacious and comfortable for a car of its size.

[@terencebrazier1080]

Missed the opty to present in a santa outfit … ho ho ho

[@user-uk4jl4ot6y]

Personally I would go for this one, but majority would probably buy a german car in this price range.

[@davidmault922]

@@davidmault922 Agreed, the back seat appears a bit small and lacks some basics like cup holders. It will help to sit in the car for real just to be sure.

@@stuartkennedy4202 It’s a crossover.

[@AutoSocialUK]

The LBX is the first Lexus model to be manufactured at the Iwate plant in eastern Japan, a facility that has benefited from Toyota Motor Corporation investment to help regenerate a region that suffered devastation from the Tohoku Earthquake and Tsunami of 2011. Production will begin within this year; deliveries to customers in Europe will begin in early 2024.

[@kickstand801]

In my opinion, a real Lexus is.... not the LBX😂 It's actually the RX 500h F Sport. 366bhp is hard to beat! Right off the bat: the colour. Lexus is legendary for its exterior design, and they always manage to pick the right colors to go with it, like this Carmine Red, or some places calls it Ruby Red. Now ma'am, do NOT be hating on the Yaris Cross😂 that lil bugger is selling like hot cakes in Trinidad, and it's beating the Nissan Kicks BADLY! This car is more or less the same thing, but with luxury of course, so Toyota is kinda competing against themselves here. Will this LBX be the new King of subcompact SUVs, or will the Yaris Cross continue to rule? Great review, Tish.

[@ctpreneur]

I would characterize Lexus LBX as a "KIA STONIC 2". If a KIA STONIC 2 was to be produced I think it would look like this..... the similarities of LBX with the existing KIA STONIC are (in my opinion) very obvious.

Umm.., Lexus making the engine a lot better compared to Yaris Cross is Toyota speak for ‘we’ve given it more power and to keep fuel economy decent the EV battery is bigger so it can run in EV longer’.
