Just like the Toyota Yaris Cross upon which this little Lexus shares its underpinnings, the LBX was awarded the maximum five-star crash test rating by the safety experts, Euro NCAP. That's impressive given that the LBX's result is based on the latest criteria, which is more stringent than the test the Yaris Cross was subjected to when it was tested in 2021. However, the MINI Countryman that was tested at the same time did better in all categories than the LBX, though.

All trim levels feature an array of driver assistance systems, including pre-collision and emergency assist, adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, road sign recognition and automatic high beam. Premium models add a driver monitor and blind spot monitoring to the mix, while the Takumi and Takumi Design have an adaptive high-beam system, lane change assist, front cross traffic alert, panoramic view monitor and parking assistance.

Although the LBX is too new to have featured in our Driver Power customer satisfaction survey, Lexus finished 12th out of 32 brands on the list of manufacturers. The car comes with the standard three-year or 60,000-mile warranty, with extensions up to 10 years or 100,000 miles if the car is serviced at a Lexus main dealer.
