Love people crying in the comments for the prices without knowing anything about todays car price market. Its totally crazy, its expensive but you dont buy a new car now for 10.000€ like 15 years ago. Get an VW or Audi and you pay even more without any features. These cars give pretty much value for the price. Waiting for my LBX Cool (highest trim, 40k€) to arrive after looking and testing many cars over 1 year. Its the best if you dont need a big car and wanna drive comfy. And without having the ability to charge an EV. You can costumize the Dashboard in nearly 1000 ways. You can set up the exact same from the Lexus in the Toyota and the other way round. Plus many many more settings, layouts and optics :)
@@minka25 you do not get the point: It is not about a small car, it is about the 3 cylinder engine, which simply is cost cutting and certainly not a premium powerplant. They still sell the UX, also small and now refreshed, including the latest gen. Of the hybrid system. And yes, it has a proper, 4 cylinder engine.
@@myslecinaczej8674 30cm longer and ugly in my opinion. Way smaller electric motor in comparison to the LBX system power. LBX is fine with 3 cylinder, especially because it has the strongest electric:petrol motor ratio in any fullhybrid.
@@minka25 ok. If it is too big for you that is fine. Ugly? Few people call it ugly (to me LBX is ...well maybe not ugly but say casual. But it is of course personal taste). The hybrid system is now refreshed on the UX so this little electric motor (indeed it was another joke from Lexus) is now decent.
I looked at the Lexus v C-HR and the Lexus as it is supposed to was much more luxurious but coming from an all electric I wanted a Plug in which is not available on a Compact Lexus so I chose the C-HR and it is a lovely car in all ways as long as you are not overly concerned about rear space, though I do not understand why the rear doors do not open wider
Toyota are setting themselves up for failure... both of these SUVs are decent, however, the pricing is a bit crazy. The decision for me is easy, in the high cost of living environment both of these cars are a firm no from me.
@@fairgo4156 Thanks for that, I appreciate it. I’ve had a look at the Lexus LBX and Toyota both decent cars, particularly the Lexus but expensive and at least a 8 month wait for both cars. The T-Roc is a great car and no wait in getting one.
South Africa had GWM Florid & Chana hatchbacks but Changan CS35 not for SA the Toyota CHR also left SA the Lexus LBX can not come to SA but the GX can .
Lexus dropped the ball, black interior and black roof only... lots of much better color combos on international markets. Nevertheless the world needs more small luxury cars. At nearly 70k id rather have a Mini Cooper S which is still very customisable and actually moves.
A Suzuki LX6 & LX7 a Toyota equivalent model should be named Toyota Highlander Cross if Australia should receive it it should be named Kluger Cross the Suzuki Eriga should get discontinued .
@@myslecinaczej8674 just stfu and buy another car? Why are people commenting on things they don’t like? Sure, it’s your opinion and it’s okay but what’s wrong in you life that you need to comment most of the positive comments that „its a 3 cylinder“ bla bla?

@@minka25 nothing force me to by it (had only a quick look at it searching for a small car for my wife) . But I feel it is needed to speak up when a premium brand (Lexus) is trying to cut cost such a way and sell it as a " premium product". Have fun with your car.

The LBX feels like it was aimed at retirees wanting to downsize, but still have a level of luxury at their fingertips. The CH-R’s main competitor is the Corolla Cross GXL Hybrid AWD, at nearly 20k cheaper, wait times be damned.
Those who want a smaller car :) LBX has basically no competition in its class as all others are bigger or plastic fantastic. Come to about any European city (LBX was designed specifically for European market) and you will know who may want small comfy car :) Even with LBX size you struggle with parking etc.
@@cryptoman2736 Have mine LBX since two weeks and love it. I’m driving solo in city. 2 longer trips per year for holiday. Perfect car. Small, silence, technical and comfy.

Dude, you can customize the C-HR dash graphics to look exactly the same as on that Lexus. There are several themes to choose from in settings.
Those prices are crazy, that's Rav4 hybrid money
Exactly! Then Toyota will not bring other similar Hybrids due to lack of sales - rather make it mid $30k price point
@@WildDanHibiki Can you help me cutting of the 40cm off the RAV4 so I get the length of an LBX?
I'd take the Toyota any day! 😊 Lovely

The first generation Toyota CHR did came to South Africa from Australia .
CHR should have been priced below 50k. It's more expensive than rav4 for what? Facelift and updated infotainment?
@@robertduclayan2298 new hybrid generation?
Toyota wins
Engine spec alone the Toyota is the better choice.
Lexus 1.5 3cyl. not as good or economical in the long run as a proper 4cyl. 2.0 of the Toyota.
3 pots shall not be even seen on any premium car. Lexus is no longer Lexus.

Toyota CHR no longer in South Africa but down under new model GR Lexus LBX & Toyota Yaris Cross petrol cheap in Australia .
Tesla Model Y will be cheaper to run with all the options

You somehow forget to tell us how tall you are.

thanks for great review. Just side note the LBX has a 9.8 inch screen and not a 8.9 inch infotainment screen as mentioned.
Yeah...1 in screen difference makes this 3 cylinder tot a dream machine 😂
