The Lexus LBX hits the nail on the head when it comes to its intended purpose. It’s the smallest Lexus you can buy, yet it’s plush inside, cheap to run and very well equipped. You also get the promise of stellar reliability and rock-solid build quality. We recommend the Premium Plus trim for the best balance of kit and cost.

This builds on the Premium specification with high-gloss 18-inch wheels, a power tailgate, a 12.3-inch digital driver’s instrument display, a head-up display, keyless entry and an air purification system.

The LBX isn’t the fastest small SUV out there (0-62mph takes 9.2 seconds officially) but its hybrid technology makes it one of the most efficient. Besides, the electric motor makes it quick off the line and the engine has enough grunt to accelerate you up to motorway speeds with relative ease.
