This is it, Lexus first ever B-segment vehicle, the Lexus LBX. Prior to this, the smallest segment that Lexus has ever played in was the C-segment, first with the hybrid-exclusive Lexus CT hatchback and more recently the Lexus UX SUV. Built on the new GA-B platform , the Lexus LBX will go on sale sometime in Q4 2023.
To adapt the TNGA B platform for Lexus use, techniques such as short-pitch spot welding and expanded use of structural adhesives were implemented in the appropriate areas. Additionally, the structural adhesives in areas closer to the occupants were strategically replaced with high-dampening adhesive, thereby reducing vibration in the high-frequency ranges. This significant reduction contributes to improved driving stability, ride comfort, and substantial reduction in NVH levels.
Vibration is efficiently suppressed without the use of heavy materials by incorporating a high-dampening type of mastic sealer for a portion of the roof panel, resulting in a quieter cabin when driving or in the rain, as well as a lower center of gravity due to weight reduction. The front suspension features a newly developed MacPherson strut suspension with updated suspension geometry. The large caster angle ensures excellent straight-line stability, suppresses toe-in changes during body roll, and minimizes understeer. This results in solid and confident linear control over vehicle posture during cornering.
