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

After the closure of Honda’s Sayama plant in Japan, several Honda models including the popular Honda Odyssey were discontinued.

Importation of used cars, colloquially referred to as ‘recond cars’, are open to rampant abuse as there is no coordination between the Ministry of International Trade and Industry (MITI), which gives out the Open APs used by recond dealers to import cars, and the Customs Department, which clears the vehicles’ paperwork at their port of entry.
