Equipped with 18-inch rims, the LBX Lexus is available in front wheels and all wheels by presenting configurations exclusively Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT).
In the internal section, LBX carries a hybrid powertrain by presenting a 1.5 liter 3-cylinder gasoline engine that can produce a combined power of 134 dk and a torque of 185 Nm.
With the power generated from these engines and electric motors, this is enough to make LBX run from 0 to 100 km/hour in 9.2 seconds.
