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

Part two of our three-parter on SUVs coming to Malaysia in 2023 revolves around electric vehicles (EVs).

2022 is here and it will be an interesting year, as multiple car companies have lined out their plans for a host of electric vehicle (EV) launches in Malaysia.

The Lexus UX is a relative newcomer to the hotly-contested compact premium SUV segment - going up against established rivals from the likes of the BMW X1, and Mercedes-Benz GLA. The new CKD Mercedes-Benz GLA has renewed interest in this segment. This also leaves the Lexus UX as the only made-in-Japan (CBU) model of the bunch. With that said, how does the Lexus fare against CKD German rivals, CBUs typically mean higher prices, but does the Lexus UX justify its asking price in this company? Overvi

The Lexus UX is the entry point into the Lexus family. Imported from Japan, it competes against the BMW X1 and Mercedes-Benz GLA. Prices start at RM 236,443 for the UX 200 Urban, topping out at RM 290,335 for the UX 200 F Sport, but this is only valid until 31-December 2021, when the current SST discount expires. With 3 months left before the year ends, there are still some limited stocks of the Lexus UX left but to qualify for the SST discount, the vehicle must be registered before 31-December

(2020 Lexus UX Price & Specs | Gallery) When the all-new Lexus UX 200 broke covers at the 2018 Geneva Motor Show, I was extremely confused with the idea of a small Lexus SUV when the Japanese premium carmaker already has the highly accomplished Lexus NX. The insatiable appetite for Sports Utility Vehicle (SUV) around the world has prompt carmakers to create countless variations of SUVs – convertible SUVs are, by far, the wildest creation ever.
