The premium car segment has been evolving over the years to cater to different customer needs. In Malaysia, the most successful premium car companies offer internal financing solutions to help customers get the right kind of financing. Lexus Malaysia now enters that elite group of premium companies with the introduction of the Lexus Next Step programme.
Next Step is provided by Lexus Capital Services. It splits fixed monthly payments up into 3 tiers throughout a 9-year financing term. Your monthly payments start off lower than they usually would on a 9-year loan, but every 3 years they increase.
For now, Lexus Malaysia are offering this financial service on their compact premium SUV, the UX, which was launched here last year. Here’s what the payment scheme looks like on all three variants.
