The New Lexus LBX - The Radiator Grille

The most important aspect is the new front end, which "breaks" with the spindle-shaped "diabolo" radiator grille - a central Lexus design feature of the last decade - and leads Lexus into a new era. The grille has been unified into a single trapezoidal shape and is located under a narrow opening that runs under the front edge of the hood and connects the slim headlights. The design echoes Lexus' "Resolute Look", which was introduced in 2003 with the LF-S concept car and became a signature styling feature for Lexus' production models in the early 2000s. The body lines emerge from the frameless radiator grille, contributing to the strong, dynamic stance of the vehicle. In addition, the aerodynamically optimized grille ensures an even flow of air over and around the vehicle. The new headlight design creates a strong visual signature. Daytime running lights and indicators are integrated into a single unit. The characteristic L-shape of the headlights is now directed outwards to match the direction of the respective blinker. The headlights themselves are bi-LED headlights, which are equipped with an adaptive high beam system (AHS) depending on the atmosphere.
