Which Lexus Cars Are Not Available in Brunei

Lexus UX compact SUV in silver, a model discontinued in Brunei and superseded by the LBX
Four Lexus models are not sold new in Brunei as of August 2026: the NX 250, the LC 500 and the UX 250h, dealer-confirmed with NBT Brunei, and the petrol LS 500 pair. Ten other Lexus model lines remain on sale, from the LBX at B$56,900 at the September promotional price to the LS 500h at B$214,877 OTR.

NX 350 F SPORTB$89,690Available
A note on the two labels. Discontinued means the car was sold in Brunei and has since been withdrawn. Not offered means NBT never sold it here. The LC 500 sits in both camps: the old V8 was sold and discontinued, and its V6 twin-turbo replacement is not offered here.

NX 250

The NX 250 Luxury is no longer in production, dealer-confirmed. NBT ran a dated run-out campaign for it, and it is gone. The entry point into the NX range in Brunei is now the NX 350h at B$71,000 at the September promotional price (selling B$83,604), with the NX 350 F SPORT at B$89,690 OTR as the only non-hybrid NX. The limitation: if you specifically wanted the naturally aspirated 2.5 at a lower price point, there is no direct replacement.

LC 500

The 5.0 V8 LC 500 is discontinued in Brunei. It was always a rarity here, priced above B$200,000. The newer V6 twin-turbo LC is not offered in Brunei and no allocation is expected, a commercial call on a niche coupe in a small market. A price of B$198,900 still circulates from an old reconciled list; that figure belongs to the departed V8 and should not be treated as a current offer.

UX 250h

The UX 250h is discontinued in Brunei and superseded by the LBX, which sells at B$56,900 at the September promotional price against a B$61,231 selling price. NBT confirms no units in stock and no future allocation. The limitation buyers should know: the LBX is a smaller car than the UX, so it is a successor by position in the range, not a like-for-like replacement. Anyone searching UX pricing today is looking at a car the distributor cannot supply. Lexus also offers electric options; see Lexus electric vehicles in Brunei.

LS 500 and LS 500 F SPORT

The petrol LS 500 pair is absent from the dealer's Brunei price list, unchanged at the August 2026 re-confirmation. The LS sold here is the LS 500h hybrid at B$214,877 OTR, which is consistent with the rest of the Brunei sedan lineup: the IS and ES are hybrid-only too. Figures of B$194,735 and B$188,495 for the petrol pair still surface in search results, figures that do not appear on the dealer's own price list.

The dealer's website contradicts the dealer's Facebook

Lexus Brunei announced the LC 500 discontinuation on its own Facebook page and ran a dated "before it is gone forever" NX 250 run-out campaign. Yet the NX 250, LC 500 and UX 250h model pages stay live on lexus.com.bn, and a live NBT price-list page still shows the UX 250h at B$62,862. So AI-generated search summaries keep answering "yes, still sold" for cars NBT confirms are gone. When a distributor website and its Facebook disagree, the dated Facebook post is usually the truth. The model-by-model status above is what NBT confirmed, re-confirmed with the sales agent in August 2026.

Frequently asked questions

Is the Lexus LC 500 discontinued in Brunei?
Yes. The V8 LC 500 was sold here and has been withdrawn, and the newer V6 twin-turbo LC is not offered, with no allocation expected.
What replaced the Lexus UX 250h in Brunei?
The LBX, at B$56,900 promotional on-the-road (OTR) against a B$61,231 selling price. It is a successor by position in the range rather than a like-for-like replacement, since the LBX is the smaller car.
What is the warranty period for a Lexus in Brunei?
5 years or 150,000 km, with an 8 year or 160,000 km battery warranty and 2 free services, dealer-confirmed with NBT Brunei.
Is there a Lexus ES 250 in Brunei?
No. The ES sold in Brunei is now the all-new ES 350h hybrid, launched in September 2026 at B$83,000 early bird on-the-road (OTR) against a B$92,000 selling price.

Verification

Availability confirmed with NBT Brunei in June 2026 and re-confirmed with the distributor's sales agent in August 2026 with no changes. Promotional prices are from the dealer's September 2026 price list.

PMV Brunei 2026: the official dealer price list

The latest edition is the "PASSENGER MOTOR VEHICLES (PMV) PRICES ISSUED BY CAR DEALERS AS OF 20TH AUGUST 2026", a list issued every quarter. Treat it as a reference point, not the price you will pay: dealers almost always have promotions running, so actual selling prices differ from the printed figures, and the models on the list can lag the showroom as new models arrive and others are discontinued. Our full guide to reading the PMV Brunei 2026 list explains what to check before relying on any figure in it.
