Lexus LM 350h: What’s new?
Lexus has not changed anything radically on the LM, but it has made some thoughtful additions to make the luxury MPV a better proposition. First amongst these is that the rear console has received a button for operating the powered rear doors, which were absent before. In the more premium four-seater variant, Lexus has added a rear tray for the rear seat passengers. Not just this, but this variant has also been updated with an auto-dimming IRVM for enhanced safety.
In terms of hardware, the only update is that the already available 2.5-litre hybrid engine that has a combined output of 250hp, now complies with the e20 fuel norms.
Lexus LM 350h: Other details
Other things on the Lexus LM 350h, including the exterior and interior design, and the rest of the convenience and safety features, are unchanged. It continues with a 14-inch infotainment system, a 12.28-inch driver’s display, up to a 23-speaker Mark Levinson sound system, powered front seats with adjustable lumbar support, and 4-zone auto AC. Its safety suite includes multiple airbags, a 360-degree camera, and Level-2 ADAS.
The entry-level 7-seater VIP variant costs Rs 2.15 crore, while the top-spec 4-seater Ultra Luxury trim continues to be priced at Rs 2.69 crore.
While the Lexus LM does not have any direct rival, it can be considered a more premium alternative to the Toyota Vellfire in India.
