The Lexus LBX has been named Car of the Year by What Car?, at its annual awards, held in association with MotorEasy.
The LBX’s victory was announced at a ceremony held at the JW Marriott Grosvenor House in London.
The Lexus LBX also won the Small SUV category, with judges praising its efficient hybrid system, luxurious interior and attractive pricing.
Lexus won the Reliability Award for a record seventh consecutive year, while sister brand Toyota won Family Car of the Year (with the Corolla) and Estate Car of the Year (with the Corolla Touring Sports.
Other brands to win multiple awards included BMW and Kia, with them taking home three apiece, and Renault with two.
What Car? editor Steve Huntingford, said: “The title of What Car? Car of the Year is reserved for the model that has moved things on the farthest in the past 12 months, and this year, that’s the Lexus LBX.
“Despite competing in the hugely competitive small SUV market, it’s a better all-rounder than every rival, not least because it’s the first car in the class to combine hybrid efficiency with big-car luxury. And at a time when new car prices are going through the roof, it offers these strengths for an attractive price.”
