Can the LBX Replace the UX?

Can the LBX Replace the UX?

Your favourite car show is back again, as always, with the biggest headlines in the automotive world. Ali, Richard, and Daniel break down the price war rages on in the sedan market with the launch of the MG5, Zeekr poised to change the game as they launch into the Malaysian market with two variations of the Zeekr X luxury compact SUV, and China hitting back on the tariff front in the EU in retaliation to the proposed duties set to be imposed on Chinese-made EVs. 

Next up, no one puts diesel cars in the corner. The UK has seen the demand for new diesel cars growing faster than the demand for electric cars as the rest of the EU goes full EV or hybrid, with registrations of new diesel cars rising 17.1% in September alone. Daniel breaks it down.

Then, Daniel drives us home with a car review of the Lexus LBX, aka the Lexus Breakthrough Crossover, aka the Baby Lexus. With the LBX set to replace the sporty UX, tune in to find out whether the crossover can break through the reputation of its popular predecessor.
