    "The new LBX has been meticulously crafted to challenge the conventional notion of a luxury car. Our aim was to create a vehicle that enabled the discerning customer to enjoy a relaxing drive and be their true selves. We strove to create an exciting vehicle that would give the everlasting desire to stay behind the wheel the moment they sat in the driver's seat - a deep sense of connection between driver and car that begins the moment the accelerator pedal is depressed. We invite customers to experience the new definition of compact luxury from Lexus,” said Kunihiko Endo, Lexus LBX Chief Engineer.

    The new Lexus SUV will hit the selected markets, including Europe and Japan in Q4 2023.
