The Lexus LBX has received a running update on Japan, with sales of the revised compact SUV set to commence there from November 3 this year.
The changes are focused on improving the car’s ride and handling, starting with a thicker centre cross member that is aimed to enhancing body rigidity. The company also conducted further testing and tuning at the Nürburgring in Germany, resulting in the LBX’s dampers receiving revised valve characteristics for more supply body control over rough roads.
Additionally, the electronic power steering (EPS) control has been modified to deliver a more natural and reassuring steering feel. All variants of the LBX also now come standard with a coloured head-up display and a drive recorder.
