    Toyota bZ4x road testing begins

    UMW Toyota brought in sample units of the highly anticipated Toyota bZ4X EV in May to undertake market research and technical evaluations on local roads. This move is in line with the automaker’s multi-pathway strategy that seeks to attain carbon neutrality by providing a variety of choices, such as BEVs, FCEVs, and HEVs

    According to UMW Toyota Motor President, Datuk Ravindran K., “Toyota has a multipathway strategy towards carbon neutrality and this is evident through these green powertrains, each developed to best meet the unique needs of customers in different parts of the world. For Malaysia, we believe HEVs are the most suitable for Malaysians, considering the fuel source of our electricity generation and the availability of charging infrastructure outside city centres in the West coast of Peninsular Malaysia. We will add more HEV models in 2023.” 

    First eco-friendly Lexus centre opens up 

    Another milestone achieved in May was the grand opening of the first-ever eco-friendly Lexus centre in Malaysia, which is operated by PCM Klang Motor. The new showroom is designed with green building tech and is outfitted with energy-efficient LED lighting and furniture made from repurposed oil drums. It showcases Lexus' dedication to reducing its carbon footprint and achieving carbon neutrality by 2050. 

    Lexus RX launched

    The highly-awaited Lexus RX also hit the local shores last month. Based on the advanced GA-K version of the Toyota New Global Architecture (TNGA), the new RX is 90 kg lighter than the model it replaces and promises improved performance and fuel efficiency. It retails for RM 468,888 (on the road without insurance). 

    UMW Toyota June 2023 promo

    The UMW Toyota offers promotions worth up to RM 8,000 in June 2023 with the Toyota Corolla offered at an affordable monthly instalment starting from RM 1,108 and the all-new Vios starting from just RM 688.
