Let’s get right down to business. You’d like to know what are the common issues with a used F15 BMW X5 xDrive40e plug-in hybrid (PHEV) and decide if it’s as terrifying to own a used BMW, let alone a hybrid, as some have made it out to be.

Lexus Malaysia recently introduced the new RX here in Malaysia, giving its mid-sized luxury crossover a much-needed update. Now let’s take a side-by-side look of the new RX with the model it replaces. Up front, new ‘triple beam’ LED headlights flank Lexus’ iconic spindle grille.
