20 Features to Expect from the All-New Lexus LBX When It Lands in South Africa

The all-new Lexus LBX is set to make a grand entrance globally and possibly in South Africa, offering an exciting blend of luxury, innovation, and style in a compact package.With deliveries of the all-new LBX under way, customers are experiencing first-hand the high level of Lexus luxury in the brand’s most compact model yet. From the appealing, contemporary lines of the car’s “Resolute Look” exterior to the design, comfort and appointments of the interior, the LBX communicates a “class above” quality – the kind you would expect from a larger, more expensive higher segment model.
