Lexus SUV size guide

The arrival of the all-new Lexus LBX in March 2024 means that Lexus will have expanded its range of petrol-electric hybrid and battery electric SUVs to five distinct models: LBX, UX, NX, RX and RZ. Read on below for our Lexus SUV size guide.

Each model is identified by a descriptive, two- or three-letter acronym – for example, UX is a stylised contraction of Urban Crossover. However, these acronyms do not necessarily offer an immediate indication of the relative size of each model. But we realise that understanding their proportions is vital in determining which Lexus SUV is the best possible fit for your needs and lifestyle… or even your garage.

We therefore hope that the following Lexus SUV sizes table is helpful in illustrating the comparative dimensions of each model.

Lexus SUV sizes:

The Lexus LBX is positioned as the smallest model in our crossover range. It is more compact than the UX, which in turn is smaller than the mid-size NX. Our largest SUV is the full-size RX, while straddling the space between mid-size and full-size is the RZ. Thanks to this model’s EV-specific architecture, it has the same wheelbase as the RX and a lower height than both the NX and RX.

The hierarchy of self-charging hybrid powertrains is reflective of each model’s relative size. The Lexus LBX is equipped with a 1.5-litre three-cylinder petrol engine, while the UX is equipped with a 2.0-litre four-cylinder petrol engine. All Lexus NX models and the majority of RX models are equipped with a 2.5-litre four-cylinder petrol engine (2.4-litre turbo in the RX 500h).

Similarly, the all-electric UX 300e is equipped with a 54.35 kWh battery and 201bhp motor, while the larger RZ 450e is equipped with a 71 kWh battery and motors that can deliver 309bhp combined.
