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

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

We're talking about the Toyota Harrier and Lexus UX. Yes they are cars from different segments but in terms of price, they are perilously close to each other. For this comparison, we pit the Toyota Harrier 2.0 Luxury (one variant only, RM 249,706) against the Lexus UX Urban (RM 243,888) as they are

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
