2025 Lexus LBX Morizo: Luxurious take on Toyota GR Yaris headed to Australia

Lexus has whipped the covers of its smallest ever performance car.

The LBX Morizo RR is headed for ********* showrooms in August, before arriving in Australia during the first half of 2025.

Under the skin, the Morizo RR shares a number of its key components with the

Power comes from a turbocharged three-cylinder engine. Key details are below:

The manual will be exclusive to the ********* market.

Along with the boosted three-cylinder engine, the LBX Morizo RR has been heavily tweaked under the skin to put its power down.

The all-wheel drive system has a variable torque split, and a Torsen limited-slip differential is optional on the rear axle.

It’s not clear if it’ll be part of a package, as was the case in the GR Yaris at launch, or whether it will be standard in Australia.

Its platform has been stiffened up front, and the rear is wider to accomodate the all-wheel drive system’s differentials, the more sophisticated double wishbone sports suspension, and 235mm wide tyres.

Lexus says the Morizo debuts a new structure to its front lower suspension arms to improve steering response, while the structure has been updated to maintain the levels of noise, vibration, and harshness suppression expected of its cars.

Inside, the Morizo RR isn’t a stripped-out racer. Aluminium pedals, a unique digital instrument cluster, and a range of racy looking colour combinations for what look like a version of the seats from ******* cars like the GS F.

In Japan, the standard Morizo RR will be offered in an extra special Bespoke Build guise.

Just 100 will be offered through a lottery system, and the winners will be able to customise additional facets of the car’s exterior like the brake caliper colours, and cabin details like the stitching, seatbelt colours, and trim materials.
