The Lexus LBX Morizo RR redefines what a compact luxury SUV can be, combining Lexus craftsmanship and refinement with genuine hot-hatch performance engineered for driving enthusiasts. Developed with direct input from Toyota Chairman and master driver Akio Toyoda — known by his racing alter ego "Morizo" — the LBX Morizo RR transforms the standard LBX into a compact performance machine that delivers the excitement of a GR performance car without sacrificing Lexus comfort, sophistication, and daily usability.
At the heart of the LBX Morizo RR is a motorsport-inspired 1.6-litre turbocharged three-cylinder petrol engine derived from the legendary GR Yaris and GR Corolla platform. Producing up to 206kW and 390Nm in Australian specification, the compact turbo engine delivers explosive acceleration, rapid throttle response, and a distinctly aggressive character rarely found in the luxury compact SUV segment. Paired with a Direct Shift 8-speed automatic transmission and electronically controlled full-time all-wheel drive system, the Morizo RR accelerates from 0–100km/h in just 5.2 seconds while maintaining exceptional traction and control in all driving conditions.
What truly separates the Morizo RR from the standard LBX is its extensive performance-focused engineering. The vehicle sits 10mm lower for a reduced centre of gravity and sharper handling, while wider bodywork, exclusive 19-inch alloy wheels, sports suspension tuning, and a rear Torsen limited-slip differential dramatically enhance agility and cornering precision. Lexus has also equipped the Morizo RR with high-performance braking hardware including aluminium monobloc four-piston front calipers and large ventilated brake discs, delivering powerful and confidence-inspiring stopping performance.
Aerodynamic enhancements further reinforce the Morizo RR’s sporting intent. Exclusive front and rear bumpers, vertical rear fins, enlarged air intakes, wider wheel arches, and performance-oriented airflow management all contribute to greater high-speed stability and cooling efficiency. Distinctive Morizo-specific details including red brake calipers, exclusive badging, piano black exterior accents, twin exhaust outlets, and a more aggressive stance create a visual identity that is both premium and unmistakably performance focused.
Inside, the LBX Morizo RR seamlessly blends Lexus luxury with race-inspired design. Sports seats, alloy pedals, premium materials, Alcantara-style finishes, contrast stitching, and Morizo-exclusive detailing create a driver-focused cockpit that still delivers the comfort and craftsmanship expected from Lexus. Advanced technology features including a 9.8-inch multimedia display, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Active Sound Control, and Lexus Connected Services ensure the vehicle remains as refined and connected as it is exhilarating to drive.
Lexus, Experience Amazing.
