Lexus has launched a subcompact hybrid crossover but not in the U.S.
Lexus on Monday revealed its smallest vehicle yet, a subcompact crossover designed primarily with Europe's tight urban centers in mind.
Against the current trend of EV powertrains, the LBX has arrived with hybrid power exclusively. There's only one powertrain at present, a 1.5-liter inline-3 mated to a single electric motor for a combined 134 hp. Drive goes to the front wheels only, but Lexus is thought to be readying an all-wheel-drive option with a second electric motor to power the rear axle.
With the LBX, Lexus will be able to target buyers seeking a small car but not willing to skimp on the comfort and features normally reserved for larger vehicles. As a result, the LBX features, either standard or available, premium items such as a large infotainment screen, a head-up display, and multiple driver-assist features.
