Lexus has unveiled the production version of the LBX Morizo RR in Japan, just a few months after showcasing the concept. This subcompact SUV’s performance flagship borrows the three-cylinder engine from the GR Yaris hot hatch, infused with an extra dose of luxury.Visually, the Lexus LBX Morizo RR retains the bravado of its January 2024 concept, save for a more discreet dark chrome treatment replacing the once-shrill yellow grille stripe. The Morizo’s bespoke body kit adds a touch of menace, with redesigned bumpers boasting significantly larger intakes.Body-colored fenders and side skirts further underscore its aggressive stance, while a new set of 19-inch forged wheels completes the transformation. The modifications are not only for show, as they improve cooling and aerodynamics.Inside, the LBX Morizo RR ditches comfort-first seating for a pair of aggressive sports seats. Aluminum pedals beg for a spirited drive, while Alcantara inserts and red contrast stitching inject a dose of motorsport-inspired flair.A snarling 1.6-liter turbo three-cylinder engine, borrowed from the fire-breathing GR Yaris and GR Corolla, lurks beneath the LBX Morizo RR’s hood. This mill pumps out a healthy 300 horsepower, identical to the facelifted GR Yaris.
Just like the latest version of its rally-bred sibling, the LBX Morizo RR offers the choice between a six-speed manual gearbox or a slick eight-speed automatic. Regardless of your preference, power is channeled to all four wheels via an electronically controlled full-time AWD system. According to Lexus, the 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) acceleration is completed in 5.2 seconds.
Since Lexus doesn’t sell the LBX in the States, chances of us getting it on this side of the Atlantic are practically nil. However, other global markets like Europe and Australia are likely to receive the Morizo RR edition within the next year.
