For all of those who continue to love the Lexus LBX (launched in 2023), a newer limited edition model will be available from September 2025 to May 2026. The model in question? The Lexus LBX Vibrant edition.
As its name suggests, the Vibrant Edition gains eye-catching styling details that emphasise the LBX’s modern, street-smart looks. Adding yet more choice to the rich and diverse LBX range.
Andre Schmidt, Head of Lexus Europe, commented:
“The LBX has quickly established itself as a core model for Lexus in Europe, building a strong presence in new market territory and succeeding in its key role to bring new customers to our brand. It is already our second best-selling model, with more than 23,000 sales achieved in 2024. With the new Vibrant Edition, we are increasing choice and adding exclusive styling features that enhance its sporty, dynamic look. We are confident it will further enhance the LBX’s proven ability to attract conquest customers as an authentic Lexus, just smaller in size.”
The Ins and Outs
Three exterior colour-ways are available: bi-tone options combining an Astral Black roof and pillars with Ruby Red or Sonic Quartz bodywork, and a monotone Astral Black finish. As a finishing touch, the model’s special status is expressed by Vibrant Edition badging on the rear pillars. The LBX Vibrant Edition works to add a splash of colour to those city roads, whilst maintaining the craftmanship and elegance that makes the LBX a Lexus.
Inspired by the BX RR Morizo concept model, the garnish possesses a black chrome finish alongside the grille’s jet-black plating, whilst the city SUV’s “vibrant” character is captured by Black semi-aniline leather upholstery in the cabin and Dark Rose accents throughout the interior. Additionally, the sporty yet luxurious feel is evoked through red double-track Tatami feature stitching on the seatbacks and Dark Rose seat belts thus, adding that extra bit of vibrancy.
If that wasn’t enough, the LBX Vibrant Edition is equipped with the latest Lexus hybrid system, featuring an ultra-efficient 1.5-litre three-cylinder engine, producing a maximum 136 DIN hp/ 100 kW and remains most suited to navigating urban streets. This can be seen through the elevated view provided for the driver, offering an optimal view for navigation.
The new Lexus LBX Vibrant Edition will be a limited edition with planned production exclusively from September 2025 to May 2026.

I hope the RR Morizo has a special interior like this when it eventually goes on sale in UK? Lexus don’t have long to sell it as 2030 will be the legal cutoff as its petrol powered. Having a LBX at the moment a big improvement would be a glass roof as the black interior I have makes the car very dark especially in the back.
Hi Simon,
Thank you for your honest feedback. We take the voice of our customers very seriously.
Please refer to our magazine for any future developments: https://mag.lexus.co.uk/

Thank you. As I said a glass roof would make the interior more airy and if a plug in hybrid was available that would make this the perfect everyday car. Even though I really want an RR Morizo I love being able to drive locally with electric. A longer electric range would be a great improvement. I love my LBX. I’ll be staying with Lexus. I was previously a Toyota customer so have stayed in the family.
Good afternoon Simon,
No problem at all. We are so glad to have you apart of our Lexus family.
We wish you many more happy miles in your Lexus LBX.
Kind regards,
Lexus UK
I don’t think so, petrol would be still in the market for a very long time after 2030
Great comment regards the RR Morizo. Second that.
Exactly. Glass roof/moonroof/ sunroof would help seal the deal especially if it was on a RR version in the uk for an acceptable price!
Looking forward to seeing the Vibrant Edition in the showroom.
Good morning Gerald,
Thank you for your comment, it’s always great to hear more positive feedback about our vehicles.
Kind regards,
Lexus UK
I wonder were it’s available to see? I hope Cardiff has one?
Would this model have a heated steering wheel?
And I agree with the above comment regarding the sunroof.
Hello Ian,
Thank you very much for your message. We greatly appreciate your interest in our new Lexus LBX Vibrant Edition!
We can confirm that this model does not feature a heated steering wheel or a sunroof. Hopefully this clarifies your question.
However, please stay up-to-date with other new features on the LBX Vibrant Edition via our magazine: https://mag.lexus.co.uk/
Many thanks,

Then it’s a deal-breaker. Up here in the frozen north of Scotland allied to poorer circulation a heated steering wheel is no longer a luxury. Pity. I’ll stick to my UX250h for now.

I would be interested in buying but the engine is too small and lacking power. It needs a 2.0 litre with 200BHP without a large price increase. Interiors apart from this special edition are far too plain and generally dark Toyota need to take a look at what Renault have done with the Renault 5. 25 yrs ago VW offered many different colour combinations for the interior of even it’s cheapest car the Lupo. The exterior colour choice for the LBX is very limited you need some pale and bright metallic blues and greens or even some bright colours offered on the basic Aygo.

Does the vibrant have a head display.
Good morning Pat,
Thank you for your query. We can confirm that the Lexus LBX Vibrant does indeed have a head unit/display.

Having owned a LBX for more than 6 months, I can confirm it’s a lovely car.
The one thing i’m missing is roof bars, unable to transport long fishing rods about
possibly others have similar issues.
Hi Ken,

Will this model be like my LBX and have a 12 volt battery that fails if car not driven regularly and leaves you stranded and at the mercy of a recovery outfit. Due to the problem with the battery I cannot use my car to park at an airport in case it will not start on my return. Having paid £36000 for the car I am so disappointed
Good afternoon Bryn,
Thank you for your honest feedback. We greatly value the voice of our customer.
We are attentive to the situation which you have highlighted. To provide a bit of reassurance, less than 1% of our entire customer base encounters issues with their 12v Battery. All modern cars drain the 12v battery when they are switched off. This is due to the onboard electrical systems. If the 12v battery is not given a chance to recharge often enough, it will go flat.
We pride ourselves on performance and reliability so to ensure there is a continuation and we live up to our own standards, we have introduced a higher performance battery for some of our models if and when needed.
If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to ask.
Kind regards,
Lexus UK
I looked at the LBX as a compact quality vehicle but it has such a dark gloomy interior especially with the black pillars and headlining that I rejected it as a choice and bought something else. When will Lexus bring out a light coloured interior for the LBX ?
Hello Peter,
Thank you very much for your question.
The only available interior for the new LBX Vibrant Edition is Black and Dark Rose Semi-Aniline Leather.
However, both the LBX Premium and Premium Plus offer an Ammonite Sand (Cream) Synthetic Leather interior.
We hope that helps to clarify your question, and apologise for any disappointment this has caused.
If you have any further queries, please do not hesitate to get in touch.
Many thanks,
Lexus UK

Hi,
When are Lexus going to produce a LBX car with a light coloured roof lining. Have the battery issues been addressed, we wouldn’t want to come back off holiday and the car not start. This is not what we would expect from a prestige brand like Lexus.
