Will the Exeed VX PHEV be expensive to run?

This is a major benefit. Since the Exeed VX C-DM uses a 1.5-litre engine as part of its hybrid system, the annual road tax is calculated on this engine capacity, costing only RM90 (private registration in Peninsular Malaysia). This is significantly cheaper than the RM380+ for the 2.0L petrol version. For buyers considering the Exeed VX PHEV, that matters because it affects how easy the car is to live with, whether for commuting, family use, long-distance driving or ownership costs. The useful way to read this is not as an isolated specification, but as a clue to how the car will feel in real daily use.
