The Lexus LBX small SUV enters 2025 with no changes, except for the addition of the hotter Morizo RR version.
Due to arrive in the first half of the year, it’s the most potent version of the most affordable Lexus yet, with a slightly wound-back version of the engine in the Toyota GR Yaris and GR Corolla hot hatches.
The hybrid LBX variants continue at the same price – ranging from $47,550 to $56,990 before on-road costs – while the Morizo RR will arrive with a $76,490 price tag.
This makes it $13,500 more expensive than the Toyota GR Yaris GTS automatic, and $6000 pricier than the Toyota GR Corolla GTS automatic, despite having less power and torque than both models.
