Lexus has launched the new LBX in Romania

Lexus Romania has launched the new Lexus LBX. The smallest Lexus model to date, the LBX is a hybrid-powered crossover that blends high quality with relaxed and affordable style, its Lexus-specific attention to detail and passenger comfort being drawn from the Japanese hospitality concept, Omotenashi.

Officially launched in Romania on April 17, 2024, by Lexus Romania, the LBX stands as the smallest model in Lexus’s lineup, yet it packs a punch with its hybrid powertrain and meticulous attention to detail. Designed to cater to the diverse lifestyles and preferences of Romanian drivers, the LBX embodies Lexus’s ethos of blending sophistication with functionality.

“Basically, we’re talking about a model that redefines standards in the small SUV segment, offering a perfect balance between the demands of urban living and adventure in the great outdoors. The new Lexus LBX is a reliable partner, ready at any time to face any challenge and satisfy the most demanding tastes of premium car enthusiasts,” said Edit Târcolea, General Manager Toyota Romania.

Design and Customization

The Lexus LBX showcases a “premium casual” design aesthetic tailored to European sensibilities. Drawing inspiration from the Lexus Next Chapter Design philosophy, it exudes a sense of dynamism and elegance. The trapezoid-shaped grille, sleek headlamps, and sculpted body lines pay homage to Lexus’s rich design heritage, while the compact cabin and elongated bonnet lend it a sporty profile, while the fenders express power and accentuate the large 18-inch tyres, while the door lines evoke dynamic performance. The rear of the car is styled from an unconventional source – Kagami-Mochi rice cakes, which in Japanese culture are given as New Year’s gifts.
