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

No further details were shared but Toyota / Lexus don’t have a lot of EV models on sale so it’s not difficult to guess the potential candidates for Malaysia. The most obviou

From its win in Le Mans in 1959 to the current Formula One team, green has been synonymous with Aston Martin's racing history. To recognise that heritage, Aston Martin Kuala Lumpur (AMKL) has recently introduced a special Aston Martin DBX in Arden Green.
