When first released in early 1976, the LX was a mild facelift of the LH sedan with the addition of a stylish new three door hatchback body style to complement the four door model line up. However, many upgrades and additions during its production run made the LX a much superior car to its predecessor. Mechanicals were as before but trim changes were made to the interior and exterior of all cars, and badge work was repositioned. The new hatchback came as an SL and an SS (an S version available for export only). The SL had a trim level equivalent to that of the SL sedan while the SS was the hatch version of the SL/R with engines optional up to the 5.0 litre V8.
