AI generated from our expert reviews

If you are weighing up the Lexus LBX against the Omoda 7, size and purpose set them apart. The longer Omoda 7 is more powerful, can tow more, and provides a bigger boot alongside more room with the back seats folded. In the rear, three adults can sit across the Omoda 7's bench with little fuss, whereas fitting three across the back of the LBX is a challenge. Both cars suffer from infotainment menus that require working through extra steps with settings buried deeper than they should be, and both have high boot lips that make loading heavy items awkward. When you take to a twisty road, their road manners diverge. The LBX aims for a relaxing drive rather than an enjoyable one, while the Omoda 7 feels capable and borderline fun.
