Details That Make The Difference

Alex Ng of Pick & GO admits that the Lexus UX is more than just a handsome ride – it ticks all the right boxes too when it comes to the small, thoughtful details that really matter
Details That Make The Difference

Alex Ng is the Director of Pick & GO, which is Singapore’s first AI unmanned convenience store. Working in tech means that Ng is aware of the small details that add ease and comfort to our daily lives, which is something that he looks out for in his choice of car as well.

“When it comes to cars, I want something that looks good and feels good,” shares the 32-year-old. “The factors I take into consideration include design, comfort, safety, and fuel efficiency. All of these I’ve found in the Lexus UX.”

The Lexus UX is Ng’s everyday car, which he loves to drive for work and leisure. He adds, “I love that it looks bold and dynamic. I also find driving it fun and easy as it is agile.” However, beneath the car’s good looks, Ng reveals that one of the more striking features of the UX would be the attention to small details.

“One thing that makes such a big difference for me is that the UX’s dashboard and controls are designed in a way that I can easily control and operate it while concentrating on the road. What’s more, the remote switch design is so convenient that I can easily switch between listening to the news on the radio to podcasts on my phone – without take my eyes off the road,” exclaims Ng.
