Did sit at the back of one when I had an exclusive look at it before the start of 2024. For someone that is 1.76m tall, there is no headroom at the back. It is fine if I am the driver, not so much as a rear passenger.
If our car prices are not above $200k, maybe we don't feel like world class. When we can afford more expensive car or items, we move up the ladder and placed ourselves into a higher class and with this price for this type of car, probably we are in the world class. Congratulations on the achievement.
I bought a seat arona few months back. The arona still beats all of these new and expensive cars. Only downside is no electric tailgate, no electric handbrake and rear usb. FC the arona is actually better, and considering its only 1.0 CC has almost the same power as the LBX at 115. Nah im not gonna pay 225k for a lexus with those 3 additional perks not worth it man
Exactly. I rather get the bigger and more powerful Toyota Corolla Cross or the Honda HR-V. There are bigger and stronger cars than the LBX for that price or cheaper!
@HAT-hb1br of course if you are buying for the brand. I am sure people would ask: is it worth to spend this much money on the LBX where you can spend the same on others that offers more "car" than the LBX?
3 cylinder similar setup with the toyota yaris cross is a hard sell… those that can afford that price range has a wide option and if they can pay >220k, they wont be looking at saving petrol either
Putting a torsion beam in a Lexus is a Sin.. Not even the UX200 nor CT200h has a torsion beam but a set of double wishbone was given instead .. Lexus.. !!??
@@comments7335 I didn't, but I did the test drive and I can assure you, absolutely nothing to do with a yaris cross! This LBX is a top luxurious car, better than the Q2 and the BMW X1. Top, top car
@@comments7335 eheheheh you are funny!! You should try them both like I did to know a little bit more before you speak, or at least read about it..The only thing more dangerous than ignorance is arrogance...you are showing both!
Smart choice to get Julian to review this car
$224k for a 1.5 litre 3 cylinder car. PAP is definitely the richest company in the world.
230k plus now
Isn't Singapore known for extremely up marking up car prices and related costs? Where I live, this car is about about 40k USD.
@@neothaka because of taxes yes
@@neothaka only cars and private houses are expensive in singapore. The rest are manageable.
how does that makes PAP rich? you've gotta be dunce

felt the same, also 176cm. very cramped. Okay for couples with no kids i guess.
@AL98O8kJH yeah and I feel there are better, bigger and stronger cars at this price. The LBX just has way too many tradeoffs for a "budget" Lexus.
same issue as Bmw 2024 X2
Your not wrong the LBX main target audience is the DINK group (Dual Income No Kids) much like the Mazda CX30
@@ezekielk.3629 couldn’t have said it better myself!
Thanks for this review 😊
Rear aircon vents is definitely needed for a luxury brand like lexus

How does the height compare to the Audi Q2 ? Does it have a higher ceiling and sitting position vs the Q2?
Julian review means good
even tho its Cat A. i feel like more comparisons has to be made between this and the UX. considering the footprints are similar.
Overpriced for what it offers. Basically just a yaris cross with more luxury features/styling., 😂😂😂

The LBX is a top premium car! If you drive a LBX and the yaris cross, it's two completely different cars
@HAT-hb1br of course if you are buying for the brand. I am sure people would ask: is it worth to spend this much money on the LBX where you can spend the same on others that offers more "car" than the LBX?
@@HAT-hb1br yes two complete different cars but the pricing difference is not justified.
LBX is better. I could compare and it's definitely worth it
Why in Europe it's 136hp and 9.2 sec to 100km/h?
it is detune to fit into singapore COE lowest tier category

3:13 LOL
First impression reminds me of the Kia Stonic

Lexus.. !!??
3 cyl…. Hard pass
A 230K 3 cylinder car with no rear aircon vents. I saw one on the road and smh at the driver who has no car taste
Its meant to road hog and cause congestion, in short.
This is a very disappointing Lexus
This LBX is a top luxurious car!! The best of his segment!!
@@HAT-hb1br nope. It's a yaris cross.unless you bought one....i'm sorry for you.

@@HAT-hb1br Grow up buddy. It's all Yaris Cross except for the leather & huge nintendo screen. Most of the parts are shared with Toyota.

It looks like a Toyota Yaris in drag.
Pointless car
They already squeeze to Cat A small car COE. That why no sport mode. Haha
Rip off !!!
Yeah..good for a short person like you 🤭
Sport mode is in the gear selector 😎🙃😁
