Limousines are great and all but in this modern age, luxury MPVs are the new status symbol of the rich and famous. Toyota pioneered the segment with the Alphard and Vellfire that eventually led to the pinnacle of these luxo-boxes on wheels, the Lexus LM. Now, Toyota has somewhat taken the LM and transformed it back into a Vellfire in the form of the Vellfire Spacious Lounge concept. Say what now? Well, it’s not precisely that but it’s not much of a stretch to explain it that way either. The Lexu

Last night, UMW Toyota Motor (UMWT) launched the 2023 Toyota Innova Zenix virtually.

This week's WapCar Ratings sees us put the Lexus RX300 F Sport through our instrumented tests.
