Lexus does not stand still, so after the recent announcement of the TX and GX models, it has now confirmed that the smaller LBX is also coming.
Along with two teaser images and a short announcement video comes the official confirmation that its premiere is scheduled for June 5 in Milan, Italy.
The letter X in the name reveals that it is a new crossover of the brand, while the letter B indicates its position in the B segment of the market.
According to unofficial information, the LBX could share its platform with the Toyota Yaris Cross, which is already offered in Europe, Australia and Japan. In that case, the LBX will be the smallest crossover in the Lexus range, and would be positioned below the UX model.
This then implies the GA-B platform and similar dimensions to the Yaris Cross (4180 mm long, 1765 mm wide and 1560 mm high), as well as the Yaris Cross hybrid drive that combines a 1.5 VVT-i engine and an electric motor, with 85 kW/116 HP and 120 Nm.
The Lexus LBX will most likely not be sold in North America, as it would apparently be considered too small for the market there.
