Overview
The Lexus LBX is a five-seat B-segment SUV for buyers seeking a compact Lexus with a petrol-hybrid powertrain, front-wheel drive and eCVT automatic transmission. Launched in 2024, it suits those who want premium-brand entry in a smaller footprint rather than a larger SUV. Prices start from RM238,888.
LBX in 2026 — what's new
For 2026, the latest LBX update is in Japan, bringing chassis improvements and a new Sou exterior colour. A head-up display and dashcam are standard across all Japanese variants. In Malaysia, the LBX range consists of the Premium and Luxury, both using a 1.5-litre petrol-hybrid system, front-wheel drive and an eCVT automatic gearbox.
Which variant to buy
Most buyers should start with the Premium at RM238,888. It has the same 1,490 cc petrol-hybrid powertrain, 183 hp output, front-wheel drive, eCVT automatic transmission and five-seat layout as the Luxury. The Luxury costs RM268,888, a RM30,000 step up. On paper, you are paying for trim rather than mechanicals, so check the equipment list closely before spending more.
Verdict
The LBX puts Lexus into the B-segment SUV class with a 1.5-litre hybrid, 183 hp and a five-seat cabin. Its RM238,888 entry price is RM25,000 above the RM213,888 MINI Aceman, the highest-priced rival stated here, and also exceeds the Volvo EX30 and Suzuki Jimny 5-Door. The decision rests on wanting the Lexus hybrid drivetrain and brand rather than entry-level class pricing.
