After making its way in some major markets in Southeast Asia including Singapore, Thailand, and the Philippines, the next stop for the all-new 2022 Lexus NX is Indonesia. Looks like Malaysians have to wait a little longer sooner. Fully imported (CBU) from Japan, the second-generation Lexus NX is launched in the archipelago at the ongoing Gaikindo Jakarta Auto Week 2022 (GJAW 2022) which is held from 12-March to 20-March. On display are the Lexus NX 350h and the NX 450h+ but only the former is la

Car reviews just like the ones published here can in a way influence whether said car is good or bad. However, while they make good reference points to consumers, the general consumer would still prefer buying one that isn't unfamiliar.

Also, please bear in mind that the car seen here is not the

Volvo Car Malaysia (VCM) had a fantastic run in 2019 with a sales growth of 36.1%. There were also two model launches namely the Volvo XC60 (fully imported, CBU) and the Volvo XC90 facelift. The company previously announced its plans to introduce the locally-assembled (CKD) S60 T8 as well as the S90 facelift to the Malaysian market in 2020. However, these models will be delayed due to the Covid-19 global pandemic. Since the enforcement of Movement Control Order (MCO), all business operations inc

In a world where a 1,500 PS Bugatti Chiron is allowed to roam freely on the public roads, we have become desensitised to horsepower figures. It wasn’t too long ago (the 90s wasn’t too long ago, right?) that 400 PS was reserved for supercars and super sports cars like the Ferrari 360 Modena (400 PS from a 3.6-litre V8) and Porsche 996.2 GT3 RS (405 PS from a 3.6-litre in-line 6). These days, everything from a little hatchback to a family saloon can pack 400 PS or more. Hence, it’s quite easy to s
