AI generated from our expert reviews

The Skoda Elroq is longer, more powerful, can tow more, and offers a bigger boot with more space when the rear seats are folded than the Lexus LBX. In the back, two six-foot adults have plenty of room to stretch out in the Elroq, whereas rear-seat passengers in the LBX do not get much headroom or legroom. You will notice cheaper plastics in the rear of both cabins. On twisty routes, neither car gives much steering feedback to the driver, but while there is quite a lot of body lean in the bends in the LBX, the Elroq displays remarkably little body lean on winding roads.
