A spicy new Lexus SUV with Toyota GR Corolla power could be coming soon

The Lexus LBX, a small car model not available in the US, will now have a special edition called the Morizo. This version of the car is basically a Lexus version of the GR Yaris.

Akio Toyoda, the CEO of Toyota, was personally involved in creating the LBX Morizo RR Concept and has been driving it daily. The car looks sporty with yellow callipers, exterior trim, a sporty grill, huge exhausts, and a performance body kit.

Under the hood, the car has a 1.6L turbo 3-cylinder engine that produces 300 horsepower and 296 lb-ft of torque. It has an eight-speed Direct Shift Transmission and uses the same torsion front and rear LSDs. The car also has 19-inch wheels, sportier seats, and alloy pedals.

Unfortunately, the LBX Morizo will not be available in the US, as the car is not sold there, and neither is the Yaris. The LBX Morizo will be sold in Europe, Japan, Australia, and other markets.
