RM213,888–RM233,888
Overview
The Lexus LBX is the brand’s B-segment SUV, a five-seat petrol hybrid launched in Malaysia in 2024. Priced from RM238,888, it suits buyers who want a small Lexus rather than a budget B-SUV: the footprint sits below the UX, while the powertrain is a 1,490 cc hybrid with an eCVT automatic.
LBX in 2026 — what's new
For 2026, the Malaysian LBX range carries on unchanged: Premium and Luxury, both five-seat petrol hybrids with a 1,490 cc engine and eCVT automatic. The current local line-up arrived in 2024. The newest LBX development is the Morizo RR Original Edition in Japan, a 100-unit model inspired by the TAS 2024 concept, but the Malaysian range remains the two regular hybrid variants.

Which variant to buy
Start with the LBX Premium at RM238,888. It already gets the same hard points as the Luxury, with the 1,490 cc petrol-hybrid/eCVT setup and five seats; the 90 hp output is the same too. The LBX Luxury is RM268,888, so the RM30,000 gap is not buying different mechanicals on paper. Pay more only if its trim and equipment changes matter after checking the showroom specification.

Verdict
The LBX makes most sense as a very small Lexus hybrid, not as a price-led B-segment SUV. Same-class rivals run from RM62,500 to RM213,888, so the Lexus sits above that band; the MINI Aceman from RM213,888, Volvo EX30 from RM208,888 and Suzuki Jimny 5-Door from RM199,950 all start lower. Buy it for the Lexus badge and compact hybrid format, not showroom-per-ringgit maths.
