We present a new family of exact black hole configurations, which is a solution to a generalized Einstein-Maxwell-Dilaton setup in arbitrary dimension. These solutions are asymptotically Lifshitz for any dynamical critical exponent $z\geq 1$. It turns out that the existence of a nontrivial scalar field is a direct consequence of breaking the spacetime isotropic scaling symmetry. This black hole family accepts various interesting limits that link it to well-known solutions in both the isotropic and anisotropic cases. We study the thermodynamics of these field configurations showing that the first law is satisfied and providing the corresponding Smarr formula, both of these relations account for an electric contribution. Furthermore, we show that for a certain parameter region, the anisotropic field configuration with a nonzero scalar field is thermodynamically preferred. This observation, together with a direct verification of the so-called scalarization conditions, suggest that the emergence of the dilaton field is due to a mechanism similar to spontaneous scalarization.
