The LBX is an absolute…
The LBX is an absolute knockout when it comes to looks of a small crossover in both exterior and interior design. However, if this comes to the US it will have to be larger than the UX and definitely more powerful. The problem people had with buying the UX was how underpowered it is (still at 196hp, it's outclassed by all its peers in the segment) and the rear space for passengers and cargo. Luckily, the TNGA-B platform can be widened and lengthened (up to 108.3 inches), which would allow it to compete more directly with MINI Countryman, BMW X1/2, Audi Q3 and MB GLA/GLB models. Lexus has shown with the Morizo RR concept, they can create a performance model, so for the North American market this should be its target. All models should come standard with the new 2.0T/8AT combo unless the new 1.5T can produce over 200hp for a base model, make hybrid models separate. Lexus has been boring for too long and needs to return to the blending of luxury and performance it once was.
