The Lexus LBX Morizo RR Concept is a high-performance, track-focused version of the all-new Lexus LBX compact crossover SUV. It made its debut at the 2023 Tokyo Auto Salon and is not currently available for purchase. However, it does hint at a potential future performance variant of the LBX. The SUV is powered by a 305-horsepower, 1.6-liter turbocharged inline-three engine that is mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive. It has a number of unique design features, including a more aggressive body kit, a larger rear wing, and a more track-focused suspension. The LBX Morizo RR Concept is a concept car, and it is not known if or when it will be put into production. However, it does give us a glimpse into what a high-performance Lexus SUV could look like. The suspension has been lowered and stiffened to improve handling and performance. The LBX Morizo RR Concept has larger brakes than the standard LBX, which provide better stopping power. The LBX Morizo RR Concept has a number of aerodynamic features, such as a front splitter, a rear diffuser, and a large rear wing, which help to reduce drag and downforce. The interior of the LBX Morizo RR Concept is sportier than the standard LBX, with features such as sports seats, alloy pedals, and a different color scheme. It has 19-inch wheels that are wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires. While the Lexus LBX Morizo RR Concept is not a production car, it does show that Lexus is interested in developing a performance version of the LBX. If a production version is made, it would likely be a limited-edition model with a higher price tag than the standard LBX.
