Overview
The Lexus LBX is a B-segment SUV for buyers who want a compact five-seat petrol-hybrid crossover with front-wheel drive and an eCVT automatic. Launched in 2024, it uses a 1.5-litre hybrid system rated at 183 hp. The range starts from RM238,888 with the Premium.
LBX in 2026 — what's new
There is no 2026-specific Malaysian update, so the LBX carries into 2026 unchanged. The local range remains the Premium and Luxury, both with a 1,490 cc, 183 hp petrol-hybrid powertrain, front-wheel drive and an eCVT automatic gearbox. The 2025 Morizo RR Original Edition debuts in Japan as a 100-unit special, but does not change the Malaysian Premium and Luxury line-up.

Which variant to buy
Buy the Premium at RM238,888. It has the same 1,490 cc 183 hp petrol-hybrid setup, FWD, eCVT and five-seat layout as the Luxury, while saving RM30,000. The Luxury costs RM268,888, but no additional equipment or mechanical differences are specified. On paper, you are paying for trim rather than a different powertrain; inspect the Luxury’s final equipment list before spending more.

Lexus LBX buyer's guides & reviews
Verdict
The LBX keeps its specification simple: a 1.5-litre petrol hybrid, front-wheel drive, eCVT and five seats in a B-segment SUV. Its price is the hard hurdle. The Premium costs more than the RM213,888 MINI Aceman and RM208,888 Volvo EX30, and sits above the stated B-segment rival price ceiling. The Premium is the rational choice because it retains the same listed mechanical package.
