Lexus is apparently launching a tiny cuv in Europe.

Lol, that should do wonders for the upmarket aspirations of the brand.

 

Damn, a Lexus Yaris? Sheesh.




But, if they give it the GR Yaris treatment though.....

 

Small friend? Could be a cute add on if you own an LX570 and LS and need a small pod for city usage while staying on brand.

2024 Lexus LBX Teasers


Finally, been a long time since this appeared in the background among other future Lexus models through MY 2025. I will never stop being shocked, that they boldly teased actual new models 2-3 years out from release in final form.


Lexus BEV and ICE Future Lineup through 2025 - December 14, 2021


2024 Lexus LBX Teaser - 12/14/2021


To be honest, this has been quite a secret otherwise. Other than the December 2021 teaser, absolutely nothing else out there until now that even gave an idea of when this was coming. I'm really shocked to see this. Seeing this new LBX, I would hope Lexus changes course and makes this as the LFX flagship crossover, to be RWD GA-L equivalent of LX?

 

Appears to be UX-ish. Don't care for the dated headlight shape.
Wish Lexus the best.

 

Will reserve judgment until I see the whole thing. I had this CT/UX debate when I got my first CT and now this.

 

They are reskinning Yaris Crossover. Amazing. You can't even call it Toyota Plus at this point.

 

From the couple of articles I've read it seems unlikely that those of us in the US will get to see this in person. I guess we'll know in a couple of weeks.

 

The auto journo outlets first broke news of this thing's existence back in 2020 after a trademark filing, but I never would have expected that that particular vehicle was also one of the cars teased in 2021.

 

so where is the mini van in their future lineup? that van looks pretty comfortable.

 

Yaris Cross quickly became huge seller in Europe, best seller for Toyota in many countries.

It has really crappy interior and fairly high price.

This does look different, it will be like NX to Rav4.

I like it.

 

Becareful ya'll. CTJill will brand you all as fake car enthusiasts for all the complaining lol.

I wouldnt classify it as a Lexus Yaris. More like a Lexus built off of the subcompact TNGA platform.

 

Here you go

 

OK, Entry-Lux commuter car for Europe. Same size as UX?
