Economy to exotic: choosing the right car for your trip

NEXX runs four clear classes, so the hardest part is only deciding what kind of trip you are taking. Pick the class that matches your passengers, luggage, roads and budget, and everything else falls into place. This guide explains each class in plain language, with ideas on who it suits.

Key takeaways

• Economy suits budget city driving; Premium adds comfort and space; Luxury and Exotic are for special occasions.
• Match the car to your passengers and luggage first, then to the road and the budget.
• Deposits and insurance excess rise with the class, so check the terms before booking.

Economy

Peroduas and compact sedans built for easy, low-cost city driving and tight parking. Perfect for errands, short stays and solo travellers. Fuel use is low and the refundable deposit is the smallest of any class. Examples include the Perodua Axia and Myvi hatchbacks, sedans such as the Bezza, and SUV and MPV options for slightly larger groups.

Premium

Premium cars bring more refinement, more safety features and more room. Think Honda City, Toyota Vios and Proton X50 or X70 for comfortable highway driving, plus MPVs, 4x4 pickups and vans when you need to carry more people or gear. This is the class many visitors choose for a week-long holiday or a business week in Kuala Lumpur.

Luxury

For when the arrival matters. Luxury covers premium sedans, SUVs and MPVs from BMW, Mercedes-Benz and other makers, plus our flagship electric MPV. Choose it for weddings, client meetings, anniversaries and airport pick-ups where you want a statement.

Exotic

Our Exotic class is for special occasions where the drive itself is the event. Deposits and insurance excess are higher, so please read the terms and speak to our team before booking.

Choose the smallest car that carries everyone comfortably, then spend what you save on the experience.

A quick decision guide

• 1 to 2 people, city use: Economy hatchback or sedan.
