LBX MORIZO RR undergoes first partial improvement

LBX MORIZO RR, Lexus’ entry-level high performance SUV, has been on the market for more than a year and a half since its release in August 2024.

Although it is based on the LBX, which is familiar to Lexus as an entry-level SUV, the powertrain uses the 1.6L G16E-GTS inline 3-cylinder turbo engine installed in the Toyota GR Yaris/GR Corolla.

The transmission can be selected from the same 8-speed DAT or 6-speed MT as the GR Yaris, making it an extremely rare pure sports car for Lexus.

The LBX MORIZO RR was newly announced and released as a partially improved version on May 13, 2026.

New colors Neutrino Gray x Black Roof 2-tone are available to make it even more sporty.

This time,lexusNewly released partially improved version of the new LBX MORIZO RR.

As part of this partial improvement, a new exterior color, “Neutrino Gray & Black,” which expresses a sporty driving experience by adding a subtle metallic highlight to the hard light gray, has been set and can be selected on all models.

By the way, Neutrino Gray is a new color for the IS500 Climax Edition, which has already been discontinued, but the LBX MORIZO RR is the first to have a 2-tone Neutrino Gray x Black roof color available.

Added “ocher” to the interior color instead of red or hazel.

Next, in terms of interior colors, by adding “ocher” to the standard MORIZO RR, there are now two colors available, along with the conventional black.

My personal prediction is that if MORIZO RR has a harder impression than F SPORT, it will be set in a red color close to deep red, like the flare red exclusive to F SPORT. I was expecting that, but surprisingly they added a super cool ocher.

LBX MORIZO RR’s commitment to its position can be felt in the fact that it has chosen “ocher” instead of “hazel”, which is used on the NX and LX600.

I hope it doesn’t end up hurting LBX MORIZO RR Original Edition owners…

On the other hand, the special grade Bespoke Build is available with yellow accents, which were highly praised in the special edition Original Edition.

Specifically, the bumper moldings and seat belts were also made selectable, adding specifications that could express the unique personality of Morizo’s beloved car, but I feel a little sorry for those who bought the Original Edition, which was limited to 100 units, at the last minute.

What can I say…

Because it is a Morizo-exclusive customization limited to 100 units, even though they found meaning and value in having it set on the original edition of the special edition car, existing users feel frustrated when they so easily set it on the standard car, and it quickly loses the special feeling.
