Mitsubishi pauses US shipments due to Trump’s tariffs

In a bold response to former US President Donald Trump’s newly imposed 100% tariff on Chinese EVs and other Asian imports, Mitsubishi has officially paused all shipments to the United States. While this might sound like an American issue, it sends strong ripples across global markets—including Malaysia

What This Means for the Malaysian Market

Mitsubishi’s decision could shift its focus towards Southeast Asian markets like Malaysia, especially with strong local demand for fuel-efficient and hybrid vehicles. But with global supply chains disrupted, vehicle prices and availability may change, especially for used cars.

In such times, now is the best moment to sell your car, especially if you're eyeing a model upgrade or want to cash in on high resale prices.

Why You Should Sell Your Car Now

Whether you're looking to sell your car online, sell car, or trade in your ride for a new one, delays in imports mean higher demand for locally available used cars. It's a seller’s market!
