AI generated from our expert reviews

The Renault 4 E-Tech is more powerful than the Lexus LBX and gives you more room with the back seats folded. You can fit a child seat quite comfortably in the Renault 4, whereas fitting a child seat is pretty tough in the LBX. There is quite a lot of body lean in the bends in the Lexus, while the body of the Renault does not lean too much. Fitting three across the back is a challenge in the LBX, and like the Lexus, fitting three across in the Renault 4 will be a terrible squeeze.
