Just as we reported UMW Toyota’s price hikes for 2016, Lexus Malaysia has followed suit, releasing its new price list, effective as of January 1. Not all models are affected this time round, but those that do are hit by hikes of as much as RM45k.
The CT 200h range is hit the most, going up by between 7.9% to a staggering 14.0% for the CT 200h F Sport (from RM320,865 to RM365,900, up by RM45,035). Next is the ES line-up, hiked by 4.5-6.1% (RM15k), followed by the flagship LS range, up between 2.9-4.7% (RM25k-40k).
Most significant, perhaps, is the near-consistent range-wide seven percent increase for the NX SUV. The NX 200t F Sport is now priced at RM387,900, compared to RM362,432 previously (up RM25k). Lastly, the RC coupe range is hit by a nominal two percent hike (RM10k-15k).
Spared here are the recently-launched IS, RX and LX models, along with the GS, of which we presume the facelifted version is due soon. Refer to the table above for the full updated price list.
