Lexus LM 350h deliveries commence in India
Lexus has started delivering the LM 350h in India. The luxurious MPV is offered in two different variants: 7 seater VIP which is priced at Rs 2 crore and 4 seater Ultra Luxury which is priced at Rs 2.5 crore (ex-showroom). Lexus also offers the LM with an 8-year/160,000 km warranty and a 5-year Roadside Assistance program.
The LM boasts an imposing grille with hexagonal-pattern elements, complemented by Lexus' signature daytime running lights integrated into LED headlights. Door-mounted ORVMs, a full-length light bar at the rear, and a range of 17- and 19-inch alloy wheels enhance its visual appeal. Built on Toyota's TNGA-K modular platform, the LM measures 5,125mm in length, 1,890mm in width, and 1,955mm in height, with a 3,000mm wheelbase.
Lexus LM: Powertrain
Powering the LM is a 2.5-litre engine paired with a strong hybrid setup, delivering a combined output of 250PS. The system is mated to an e-CVT automatic transmission and all-wheel-drive configuration and has a top speed of 190kmph.
Lexus LM: Interior & FeaturesThe interior is the focal point of the Lexus LM, designed primarily for chauffeur-driven experiences. Offered in six or seven-seater configurations globally, with a more luxurious four-seater option, the India-spec model is available in four- and seven-seat layouts. The four-seat variant boasts a massive 48-inch display for rear-seat entertainment, doubling as a workspace for conferences and meetings. Luxurious amenities include a small refrigerator, privacy glass, leather-wrapped retractable tables, reading lights, USB charging ports, a wireless charging pad, and more.
The luxurious LM is also the first vehicle to have the automaker's innovative Rear Climate Concierge smart air conditioning technology. The system detects the occupant's face, chest, thighs, and lower legs with infrared sensors to estimate the amount of cooling necessary in the cabin and adjusts the temperature appropriately.
Lexus prioritized sound deadening and insulation with the second-generation LM, which features a specifically constructed headliner and enhanced sealing, increasing insulation by 40 percent. The MPV also has noise-reducing wheels and tyres, as well as active noise management, which reduces noises detected by a microphone while driving.
