Lexus Unleashes the LBX Morizo RR: A Spicy Crossover for Japan Only!
Gear up for a performance powerhouse you won’t find anywhere else – the all-new Lexus LBX Morizo RR! This isn’t your average luxury crossover; it’s a fire-breathing beast reserved exclusively for Japanese drivers.
From Concept to Reality: The Morizo RR Takes Flight
Remember the head-turning LBX Morizo RR concept that stole the show at the Tokyo Auto Show in January? Well, Lexus is turning that dream into reality! This high-performance iteration of the LBX packs a serious punch, borrowing the heart of the exhilarating Toyota GR Corolla – a 300-horsepower turbocharged three-cylinder engine.
Thrilling Transmission Options:
While the concept sported an eight-speed automatic, the production Morizo RR offers an exciting choice. Drivers can opt for the smooth-shifting automatic or get their hands on a thrilling six-speed manual transmission, adding an extra layer of engagement to the driving experience.
Power Delivered, Precision Controlled:
The Morizo RR doesn’t just boast impressive power; it delivers it with confidence. This feisty crossover utilizes an electronically controlled full-time all-wheel-drive system, ensuring power is distributed evenly for optimal handling and control.
Aggressive Looks Match the Performance:
The Morizo RR isn’t shy about its capabilities. Its design exudes a bold, aggressive stance, with features like chunky air intakes, a menacing black grille, and wider wheel arches that blend seamlessly with the body color. Even the rear gets an upgrade with prominent dual exhaust tips and intricate 19-inch forged wheels.
A Luxurious Interior with a Sporty Edge:
Step inside the Morizo RR and you’ll find a luxurious cabin infused with a sporty spirit. Supportive sports seats, aluminum pedals, and red stitching throughout create an environment that’s both comfortable and designed for driving pleasure.
Bespoke Build: Create Your Dream Morizo RR (For a Lucky Few!)
Lexus is taking exclusivity to a whole new level with the Morizo RR. A limited number of these beasts (100 units) will be available through the “Bespoke Build” program. This program allows lucky buyers to customize their Morizo RR with a variety of options, including striking yellow brake calipers and personalized touches for the interior color, seat materials, and stitching.
Ready to Order? (But Only If You’re in Japan)
