Nearly two months after heading to Shaw Plaza to catch Race for Glory: Audi vs. Lancia, our Mycarforum members were once again treated to another event: An exclusive look at the new Lexus LBX right from the firm's showroom at 33 Leng Kee Road!

Held on 9 May 2024, the event saw close to 50 attendees all getting the opportunity to get up close and personal with Lexus' first Cat A COE-eligible crossover.

Attendees to this Mycarforum hangout got to test drive the Lexus LBX self-charging full hybrid crossover alongside the rest of Lexus' lineup

For those curious, the Lexus LBX comes to Singapore equipped with a hybrid drivetrain that makes use of a 1.5-litre engine, and develops a total of 129bhp alongside a peak torque of 185Nm. These figures allow the crossover to complete the century sprint from zero to 100km/h in just 9.6 seconds.

But of course, numbers don't tell the whole story. What also matters is how a car makes you feel when you're on the road and behind the wheel. And that's exactly how Julian described his time with the crossover - after having driven the car in Valencia, Spain - to those who attended this exclusive Mycarforum hangout event!

Still, that was not all that happened that evening. Those interested in the rest of Lexus' range also got chances to test drive other self-charging full hybrid models from the brand, which included the likes of the IS Hybrid, the ES Hybrid Sedan, and the NX Hybrid SUV.

Participants who took part in a quiz hunt that involved answering questions about the Lexus LBX after scanning these QR codes got a chance to win a top prize valued at up to $1,999!

The evening also saw participants taking part in a competition which saw them scanning a host of QR codes placed all throughout the two display units of the Lexus LBX.

Those who took part in the competition needed to answer a selection of 10 fun-fact questions regarding the Lexus LBX after scanning these QR codes and stood a chance to win a top prize valued at $1,999!

The evening ended in a nail biter as three attendees entered a tiebreaker round for the top prize of our quiz hunt

As it turned out, we did in fact underestimate the know-how of our Mycarforum members, as there was a tie between not just two, but three members in total. Competition for the prize was then settled with a tie breaker which required all to answer one final question regarding the Lexus LBX in a final, nerve-wrecking end to the evening!
