The Lexus LBX is a small crossover that aims to offer a luxurious alternative to the Toyota Yaris Cross. The Toyota Yaris Cross is essentially a raised version of the Yaris supermini, available as a Gazoo Racing model with a turbocharged 1.6-liter gasoline engine. This same engine is used in the GR Corolla, where it produces more power. According to a new report, Lexus might use the high-performance “G16E” engine for the LBX.

As reported by Japan’s Mag-X, the LBX would be the first non-Toyota model to be equipped with this small yet powerful engine, capable of producing up to 295 hp and 295 lb-ft (400 Nm) in the GR Corolla Morizo Edition. In the GR Yaris, the engine’s output varies by region, but even the lowest figures are a healthy 257 hp and 266 lb-ft (360 Nm). Similar to the two hot hatches, a GR-powered LBX would feature all-wheel drive and a six-speed manual transmission.
