The LBX Original Edition, the pinnacle of the LBX range at launch, is offered in a unique Sonic Copper bi-tone finish, with matt black 18-inch wheels, bumper inserts, rear pillar decals and dedicated badging.

All LBX models are powered by a new Lexus self-charging full hybrid electric powertrain. Comprehensive revisions to the system’s principal components help deliver more responsive and rewarding performance, whether driving around town or on the open road.
