Lexus LX570 record price of over 8 billion in Vietnam

July 11, 2016 18:22

The luxury SUV model increased in price by 2.3 billion VND due to the impact of the new special consumption tax rate of 130% instead of 60% as before.

Under the impact of the new special consumption tax from July 1, after changing the prices of Toyota cars in Vietnam, the Japanese car company continues to adjust the selling prices of luxury cars under the Lexus sub-brand. With 9 models on sale with engines of 2 liters or more, Lexus does not reduce the prices but keeps them the same or increases them.

The biggest increase belongs to the large SUV LX570, with a new price of 8.02 billion, while the old price was 5.72 billion, an increase of 2.3 billion. The car is equipped with a 5.7 liter engine, so it is subject to a new special consumption tax rate of 130% instead of the previous 60%, causing the car price to increase sharply.
