The power system option of Lexus LBX is the M15A-FXE 1.5-litre naturally aspirated Atkinson cycle three-cylinder engine. This engine generates 91 PS power alone at 5,500 rpm and 120 Nm torque between 3,800 and 4,800 rpm. The driving force is transmitted to the front wheels, enabling the LBX to accelerate from zero to 100 km/hour in 9.2 seconds.
