Just as the first Lexus LBX altered perceptions on how much luxury and refinement could be packaged into a stylish compact SUV, the Morizo RR reimagines the combination of sophistication and performance in the space.
Powered by a 1.6-litre turbocharged inline three-cylinder petrol engine producing 206kW and 390Nm, the Morizo RR (so named because Lexus global chairman Akio Toyoda would have one in his garage) accelerates from zero to 100km/h in 5.2 seconds.
Its all-wheel drive system automatically distributes the front-rear torque according to road conditions and grip, with the standard Torsen limited-slip differential on the rear axle adding to the driving thrills.
Impressive stopping comes from aluminium monobloc four-piston callipers, matched to 356mm x 28mm two-piece ventilated discs at the front, with floating single-piston calipers and 281mm x 12mm solid discs at the rear.
Combined with elegance and comfort, the result is a limited edition, small luxury car with the impeccable manners of a perfect dinner host and precision power and performance of a judo master.
Priced at $76,490 or $78,240 (both plus on-roads) if you opt for an additionally exclusive two-tone paint scheme, it builds on the specs of the lower models in the range. That kicks off with the Luxury 2WD ($47,550 plus on-roads).
The base model features LED headlamps with adaptive high-beam, 18-inch alloy wheels, a rear spoiler and privacy glass. The Sports Luxury – offered in both 2WD and AWD – adds touch-sensitive steering wheel controls and Lexus teammate advanced park.
It also sports a 13-speaker Mark Levinson premium audio system. The Morizo RR takes performance-inspired styling to the next level with exclusive 19-inch alloy wheels, along with aerodynamic upgrades including a new front bumper and vertical fins on the rear.
Inside brings signature Takumi craftsmanship with high quality materials, superb fit and finish and unique sporting character, with black leather-accented sports front seats, shift knob and dimpled steering wheel, all with contrast red stitching.
Vitals are displayed through a central 12.3-inch touchscreen which is tailorable for performance outputs, as well as being tasked with all the usual infotainment functions you might expect.
