Yesterday, Toyota set the tone by announcing its new price list, and today, other major importers have followed suit.
United Motors Lanka PLC has now unveiled the updated prices for its Mitsubishi lineup, reflecting the new tax regime, exchange rates, and government levies—though these figures exclude the 18% VAT.
