Lexus Malaysia has discontinued the Lexus UX, currently the brand’s entry point. Checks with a Lexus dealer also revealed that there is no more stock of UX. The Lexus UX was first launched in Malaysia in February 2020. Until today, it remains the most comfortable compact luxury SUV we’ve driven. It’s also more engaging to drive than an equivalent Mercedes-Benz GLA or BMW X1. Unfortunately, buyers cannot overlook the fact that the Lexus UX is powered by a 2.0-liter naturally aspirated engine, unl

If you have the hots for a compact, electric SUV that's not the Mercedes-Benz EQA, then this you'd do well to wait for this 2023 Lexus UX 300e that's earmarked for Malaysia sometime this year. We caught a glimpse of it at the ongoing 44th Bangkok International Motor Show (BIMS 2023) and think it's one to wait for. Malaysian specifications may differ, but the kit it has is pretty rich – there's tri-LED headlights, a must-have lightbar at the back, and Lexus Safety System Plus set of advanced driv

Surprising as it may sound, but UMW Toyota Motor, the official distributor of Toyota vehicles in Malaysia has quietly removed the Toyota Alphard from its website. The Alphard's sibling mode, the Vellfire has also been axed. UMWT began offering local specifications version of the Toyota Alphard since 2014 with the AH20-generation model. Subsequently in 2016, UMWT launched the then-new AH30-generation Alphard and Vellfire duo. Now, roughly 7 years later and both luxury MPVs have been removed from

Mercedes-Benz Malaysia reckons that although Thailand appears to be ahead of the region in terms of policies to boost EV adoption and localization, Malaysia is still more or less on par. “If you are talking about localizing efforts or sales, I think both countries have an equal opportunity at the end of the day to showcase electric vehicles. I would say right now they are more or less on par, in terms of bringing more electric vehicle models, in terms of sales adoption, so let’s wait and see how

The 2021 Lexus UX 300e is the Japanese carmaker's first all-electric vehicle and its launch in Indonesia yesterday (26-November 2020) marks its entrance into the ASEAN region. The battery electric vehicle (BEV) is powered by a front-mounted electric motor that makes 201 PS and 300 Nm of torque. Power comes from a 54.3 kWh lithium-ion battery pack, good for a 300 km range on the WLTP cycle. Standard AC charging rates for the crossover is 6.6 kW and 50 kW with a fast charger. The exterior is stand

Following the launch of a supercar catered for the budding vigilante, Aston Martin Kuala Lumpur has launched a special edition of its latest SUV, the Aston Martin DBX Intrepid Aura. While the standard DBX itself seems to be suited for a certain secret agent, we have a feeling this brightly-coloured DBX is more for an eccentric chocolate factory owner. The DBX is a five-seater SUV which means that you can easily fit in the few winners of your golden ticket competition with ease. Just like the sta
