Entry level Lexus worth the buy
Equipping levels are top notch and the 9.8" Infotainment touchscreen is simple to use and assimilate; There are also very welcome separate button for the climate controls. The click-twice door handles are a bit annoying and unnecessarily.
Out on the road that word - 'sophistication' - comes to mind yet again, as the LBX handles like a premium car should - even a front wheel drive one. The handling is precise and well-balanced and the ride benefits from the obvious work that has been done to give the car that luxurious feel.

Impressive Drive with no range anxiety
Had 2 different test drive with Allan, who is very patient in explaining the various features of the car. I must I am very impressed with the overall drive and comfort of the car. The overall feel is good and while the price is almost the same as an X1, the plug-in hybrid technology is probably one of the leading brands in the industry.

Luxury car without the luxury price tag.
This car offers a compelling package for those looking to step into the EV world with comfort, tech, and value in mind.
One of the standout features is the Level 2 ADAS. It includes adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist, lane centering, automatic emergency braking, and traffic jam assist. On expressways, the AION V can maintain lane position and distance from the vehicle ahead with minimal driver input, reducing fatigue on longer journeys or in stop-and-go traffic. The system is smooth and unobtrusive, striking a good balance between assistance and control.
In terms of safety, the AION V is well-equipped. It comes with seven airbags - including dual front, front side, and full-length curtain airbags - providing comprehensive protection for all occupants. There's also a 540-degree surround-view camera system, blind spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and a driver attention monitoring system. These features work together to enhance both active and passive safety, giving drivers peace of mind on busy roads.
Inside, the full genuine leather upholstery gives the cabin a premium, upmarket feel. Both the driver and front passenger seats are ventilated and feature built-in massage functions - a rare luxury at this price point. There's even a fridge (can operate between -15 to 50 Degree Celsius) that comes with the car without any top ups. Combined with a quiet and well-insulated cabin, the ride feels serene and comfortable, especially in city traffic or during long weekend drives.
Charging is fast (it supports up to DC 180kW) and convenient. Where the car does fall short slightly is in its in-car entertainment system. Many apps are still pending approval and unavailable out of the box. That said, a practical workaround is attaching a third-party Android TV box, which transforms the screen into a full Android display with streaming apps and more functionality - something that's easy to set up and works well.
Final note - I've met the SA, Zhi Kai at the road show and he had patiently explained the features of the car to me. I then went to the showroom for a test drive and met Rachael. Test drove, and felt compelled to put in the deposit after being offered an irresistible deal. This is by no means a rash decision as I have been researching other models and test drove some of them, but none could offer similar features at this price point.

I really like this car
Owned this since August 2024. It isn't the most striking or powerful vehicle on the road but so far, everything has worked like a charm.
The engine is quiet and while the specs on paper aren't outstanding, my car never feels inadequate in terms of pickup. There are times when other cars assume a Hyundai can't move that quickly on the expressway but the Kona can be surprising.
I like the exterior styling, especially the light bars. The interior is very modern - the bright strip running across the dashboard might not appeal to everyone. In terms of tech, this car has everything I want from Android Auto to multiple safety and driver assist sensors.
I wish the boot could be bigger. The back seats could be wider as well.
