If you are weighing up these two small SUVs, the Volvo EX30 is more powerful and can tow more than the Lexus LBX. Around town, both cars have suspension that handles bad, rough roads well, though both also lean quite a bit in the bends. In the back, headroom is decent in the Volvo, whereas headroom in the Lexus is a bit tighter. Fitting a child seat is easy enough in the EX30, but doing so in the LBX is pretty tough.
