Toyota Yaris Cross
VS
Think of the Lexus LBX and Toyota Yaris Cross as sibling rivals: they share the same hybrid bones, but the LBX wraps them in sharper styling, quieter materials and a premium badge that commands a higher price for finesse. If you crave Lexus polish and cabin calm, go LBX; if you want smart practicality, better value and fewer awkward conversations about leather upkeep, the Yaris Cross is the savvier buy.
Lexus LBX
Lexus UX
VS
If you're choosing between the new Lexus LBX and the older Lexus UX, the LBX is the cheeky city-smart compact — smaller, cheaper and lighter on fuel thanks to Toyota-derived hybrid underpinnings — while the UX delivers a chunkier, more premium feel, extra interior space and stronger hybrid performance for those who want a proper Lexus experience. Pick the LBX for bargain-minded urban buyers who crave nimble handling and modern styling; choose the UX if you value a higher driving position, more cabin comfort and traditional Lexus refinement, even at a slightly higher price.
