Lexus Kota Kinabalu officially opens this week, making it the brand's first outlet in Sabah state.


Lexus Malaysia sees its network grow this week as it welcomes the newly opened Lexus Kota Kinabalu outlet into its fold. This is the Japanese luxury brand’s first ever outlet established in Sabah state, and only its second in the entire East Malaysia region too.

Operated by dealers Borneo Mobility Sabah Sdn Bhd, Lexus Kota Kinabalu is located at Mile 5.5 along Tuaran Road. Typical of the Lexus brand, this centre features elegant aesthetics with a sleek, minimalist building façade matched by an inviting yet opulent interior decorated with carved wooding fittings and batik-inspired flooring.

Lexus Malaysia didn’t disclose figures surrounding square footage or total investment costs to establish the new Lexus Kota Kinabalu. Judging from the images provided though, it’s clear to see that the outlet now stands as a one-stop centre for its discerning clientele based in said Sabah state capital, which is a big deal indeed.

“We are thrilled to expand into Sabah, bringing our unique brand of automotive excellence closer to our customers in the state and offering them access to luxury right in their backyard,” expressed Lexus Malaysia President, Datuk Ravindran K, regarding Lexus Kota Kinabalu’s opening.

The exec adds that customers in Sabah can now experience the brand’s renowned bespoke customer experiences for themselves, more so given plans by the brand in to introduce exciting new models over the next few years.
