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

In what seems like a blink of an eye, another year has passed and 2022 is now behind us. While we took a look at what SUVs and MPVs that will be coming soon (sedan to follow next), let’s take a look and see which cars were axed last year. Compared to 2021, last year witnessed fewer cars that were discontinued. Regardless, the departure of some of these models leave a void that may or may not be filled in the near future.

Japanese police cars aren’t just limited to the run-of-the-mill Toyota Crown or Toyota Prius, as certain prefectural police forces have far more potent cars in their fleet. Unlike other prefectural police departments, the Tochigi Prefectural police force has the most interesting fleet of cars, which includes Japanese icons like the Lexus LC 500, Nissan GT-R, and Honda NSX. Honda donated the NA1 Honda NSX to the Tochigi Prefectural Police force in 1992, while the R35 Nissan GT-R was donated to th

Though Lexus only just welcomed the brand’s first ever battery-electric vehicle (BEV), Lexus UX 300e, at the 2019 Guangzhou Auto Show, the electric crossover already has a planned route across the South East Asian market. And the first destination is Indonesia. This doesn’t come as a surprise since Indonesia has declared a very aggressive push to move towards EVs. Not only have government declared that they will start using EVs in 2021, but they have also introduce policies aimed at making Indon

Making its first debut as a production car in 2017, the Lexus LC 500 is Lexus’s idea of what a grand tourer should be. The “LC” itself stands for Luxury Coupe. The year 2020 sees a huge number of enhancements on the LC 500 in terms of safety, luxury, and performance. Inside the luxurious cockpit, one sits behind a 5.0 litre V8 by Lexus (2UR-GSE) producing 470 horsepower and 540 Nm of torque. Weighing just under two tonnes, this luxury grand tourer is rather quick with a 4.4 seconds 0-100km/h tim
