And build in Japan!!! That said, what a good looking car, and superb interior. Fit and finish, materials, looks like a downsized RX or LS..... . Very good work from Lexus.
As much as I fancy a Lexus the 1.5 engine puts me off compared to the new CHR 2.0 and likely both will be similarly priced so it’s the Toyota for me and will be available with a sunroof hooray!! 🎉
Having seen a picture of the new C-HR sunroof in the dealer booklet it looks odd, I'd wait until December as your local dealer should have a 1.8 Design including optional panoramic roof delivered for a demonstrator.
@@NobbyOnCars Indeed! It wasn't the same tho' after Mark McManus aka Taggart passed and especially after his 2nd banana Jardine then left because it went to a Taggart-less Taggart and to a Taggart-less Jardine-less Taggart! 😂😂😂
A bit disappointed that no reviewer has mentioned whether Lexus have addressed the light ‘tinnyness’ and flex of the door panels that the Yaris Cross has. I presume with it being a Lexus they will feel heavier and more premium but there’s no real mention of this in any reviews.
Yeah think it’s just called something slightly different in other markets but it’s the only dark grey colour on the palette that I can see. Looks well in it!
I love it. The german cars at this size range are overpriced money pits, the Tesla Model 3 is too large for European city driving, and every other brand does not look as premium as this by a long shot.
This car is not just a thickly dressed Yaris Cross. In fact, the wheelbase and tread width have been changed. It will be of a quality worthy of Lexus in every respect, including quietness, driving performance, and equipment.
Can you please ask Lexus Ireland to import the new beautiful IS saloon, I'll buy 1 & personally help them sell them otherwise I'll import myself from Japan. I'm sure the beautiful IS will sell better than these ux mini crossovers, but what do I know
Mark, forgive me but as you 'hint' it is a Yaris X in 'drag'! Honestly, its another 'badge' job. Surely late to the party? Did someone mention Audi A1 [Polo], Audi Q2, T-Cross. And so on and so on. All brands share 'underpinnings' and more.... As you say, Lexus are 'targeting' the 'rich' retirees on there golden lock pensions. Lifestyle and down to Waitrose! Unbelievable. Cynical and simply sticking a big price tag on what is essentially a lifestyle' choice. Sunday supplement car!
@@NobbyOnCars So much fake new and dodgey advertising coming out of Toyota that the consumers are unable to make informed decisions. Why has Norway banned their advertising?
Unusable rear space. Get a yaris cross or even any kind of hatchback and save yourself a ruck load of cash. Get a new civic even better. Like lexus but this isn't doing it
Too small and cramped for the money,don’t like it. Better getting an Audi q4 e tron because it’ll be around the same price I think.. it’ll be more than 40k
LBX will be available to preview on selected dates between July 12th and 20th at Lexus Retailers - more at www.lexus.ie

For me,the design hits the sweet spot, between Cupra crazy, and VW bland. If the quality is as expected from a Lexus, a winner.
Great video.
And it's a Lexus ,so you know it will be a great car.
Well done.
Thanks!
A few correction for interested people, the boot space is 402L. The AWD is 315L. The cool version (in this video) does has ambient lightning.

Pity ‘Mr Mop’ wasn’t wearing Eric Morecambe-esque buff overalls with a pencil in his top pocket. Nobby handled it beautifully. What a pro….😂
That floor needed to be spotless in the video.....
It hit me when he said an Audi A1 owner would find this car interesting. I own an Audi A1 Sport 2018 and I’m definitely going to by this. 🙌🏾
Looking forward to your driving review of this. I like what I see of it so far.
Thanks. Maybe will grow on me but at the moment I do prefer the Yaris cross for both interior and exterior. Fully spec YX for me is the better deal.
There is a marked difference than before 👍
The front has echoes of the original ES300
really nice car say more like 50k than 40 k l looked at a good spec chr and its near 40k but thats really nice
I came here for the guy with the mop 😂😂🫶🏼
ha ha, squeaky!
To quote "Jarrkkie there's been a murdda" call Blythe Duff immediately!
Sadly same issues as the YC. Missed opportunity.Just in a nicer finish..especially inside.
Not a bad looking yoke tho I must admit I did laugh at the references to Taggart and indeed Jonny Smith! 😂😂
What a show!!

Looks far too small for a family so not sure who they are targeting?
An old wealth couple whose kids have moved out.
Thanks very much....👍

Just in time for my birthday.
Tricky back seat space but looks great
There should be a way of editing the price to reflect the true cost and its not as stated on this video, not by a long shot.
This vide is nearly a year old, try google.
Lexus version of Toyota CHR imho
Is that the same as sonic grey? That's the colour I have ordered ...thanks for your help...
Yeah think it’s just called something slightly different in other markets but it’s the only dark grey colour on the palette that I can see. Looks well in it!
The LBX is smaller than the UX (Rav4) as its a Yaris with bells and whistles and a lot more £££s.
Rear leg room, nothing in it.
I love it. The german cars at this size range are overpriced money pits, the Tesla Model 3 is too large for European city driving, and every other brand does not look as premium as this by a long shot.
Does this car have glass roof option? If not, it’s a no no for me as I’m really claustrophobic!
Excellent review, many thanks !
What colour is the car in the video, please.
Sonic Shade
I hope lexus keep it to just euro mark we don’t want it in the United States
If thing starts at £30,000 then I'd look...but I bet this will start closer to 40! Who can afford these things😢😅
I bet the price is over 30k which why not get other models from lexus like ES but I have to admit the interior is better than recent lexus models
Never thought I'd call the CT pretty (or good) until this thing came along.
Are they trying to make bad cars on purpose? How the great have fallen.
Look like Chery Omoda 5
This car is not just a thickly dressed Yaris Cross.
In fact, the wheelbase and tread width have been changed.

Yes, it’s all mentioned in the video.
yaris cross?
Yuuuup
Bit disrespectful for that guy to be cleaning in background while a review in progress ..never seen that in any other reviews.
Was a bit of a surprise alright but sure no real harm done. 👍🏻
So it will replace UX as the smallest Lexus yet. The back-row seats are essentially useless.
Depends on how often you need the rear but yes it’s a small empty nester car in many ways.
Isn't it just a yaris cross
Yes
Can you please ask Lexus Ireland to import the new beautiful IS saloon, I'll buy 1 & personally help them sell them otherwise I'll import myself from Japan. I'm sure the beautiful IS will sell better than these ux mini crossovers, but what do I know
It’s phenomenal looking, but goes against the Irish epidemic of tiny fake jeeps so probably wouldn’t sell well.
Presume you've asked if it's possible! We need more saloons.
Interesting car but being 6´2, would anyone be able to sit behind me..

An expensive Yaris Cross...Just because Audi dressed a Polo as an A1 doesn't mean Lexus has to go that low as well.
Talking of comprises, surely the time has come to loose hybrids in favor of pure battery electric vehicles BEVs.
Brand research says a lot of their customers don’t want BEV yet. I guess they’re going where the market is

Im 6ft and could fit inside easly, trunk is small but for my mothers needs this car is really good. Smal and well made
To me all SUVs are looking the same. Kinda boring.
Christ, man, you use twenty words where eight would suffice, a wondering old woman waffle - was there something about a car too?
Ehhhhhhh watch another channel so
