New Lexus LM Arrives in Malaysia: Redefining the Luxury MPV Experience

Redefining the luxury MPV segment in Malaysia, the new Lexus LM arrives with a renewed focus on comfort, performance, and cutting-edge technology. Building on the success of the first generation, which resonated with Malaysian buyers (32 units sold to date) and garnered over 16,000 sales globally, Lexus Malaysia is confident the new LM will continue to lead the pack.

Catering to a wider range of needs, the new Lexus LM offers two distinct choices. For those seeking the ultimate in individual comfort, the Lexus LM500h provides a spacious and luxurious 2-2 seating arrangement. This four-seater option is ideal for executives or those who require a premium mobile office environment. Alternatively, the Lexus LM350h caters to families with a 2-2-3 seating configuration, offering a blend of luxury and practicality for those who travel together frequently.

Both variants prioritize efficiency and quiet operation with their self-charging hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) powertrains. The LM500h boasts a 2.4L turbocharged hybrid engine with all-wheel drive, delivering a powerful 371hp and 460Nm of torque. The LM350h utilizes a naturally-aspirated 2.5L hybrid engine with front-wheel drive, striking a balance between performance and fuel economy.

“The Lexus LM has always stood as a symbol of success for customers who want to experience an elevated form of luxury transport. We strongly believe that the two new Lexus LM variants will continue to be at the pinnacle of luxury in the mobility segment, catering to discerning customers who are looking for a heightened level of indulgence and refinement in their day-to-day transport. The new Lexus LM undoubtedly redefines the concept of exclusive personalised luxury travel. As you can see, the new model once more demonstrates value craftmanship and timeless elegance along with a striking design and unmatched comfort and performance which is a world apart from what is available in the segment today.”
Datuk Ravindran K, President of Lexus Malaysia

Lexus’ signature design language takes center stage on the new LM’s bold exterior. The “Next Chapter” design philosophy translates into a striking and elegant presence, accentuated by the brand’s now-iconic Spindle Grille. This grille seamlessly integrates with the bodywork thanks to a Lexus-first satin-effect hot stamping method. The LM sits proudly on stylish 19-inch multi-spoke wheels and is available in four exterior colours: Graphite Black Glass Flake, Sonic Titanium, Sonic Quartz, and Sonic Agate.

High-performance LED projector headlights blend seamlessly with the Spindle Grille, and the signature L-shaped daytime running lights add a touch of Lexus flair. For a touch of luxury and convenience, Omotenashi illumination automatically activates the clearance lamps as you unlock the doors. Both rear passenger sliding doors now feature an easy-to-use “see-saw” switch for improved passenger access, while the front door handles boast an e-Latch System with SEA (Safe Exit Assist) to warn of approaching vehicles from behind.

Stepping inside the new Lexus LM reveals a haven of comfort and luxury, meticulously crafted with the concept of Omotenashi (exceptional hospitality) in mind. The cabin offers a serene and modern ambiance, featuring high-quality materials like Gin Sui Boku wood and Yabane ornamentation throughout. Black and Solis White interior colour schemes are available to suit individual preferences.

Thoughtful features throughout the cabin enhance the passenger experience. A built-in thermistor ensures a comfortable grip on the steering wheel, while an independent glass roof with integrated sunshade allows for an open and airy feel in the rear passenger compartment. Each rear passenger has their own multi-operation panel for controlling air conditioning, seat posture, and lighting, ensuring maximum comfort and individual control. The LM500h takes entertainment and productivity to the next level with a massive 48-inch ultrawide display featuring dual-screen functionality, perfect for watching movies, working on presentations, or simply enjoying a variety of multimedia content on the go.

The new Lexus LM positions itself as a strong contender in the Malaysian luxury MPV market. This innovative vehicle caters to a wider range of needs with its two distinct seating configurations and efficient hybrid powertrains. The meticulously crafted interior prioritizes passenger comfort and incorporates thoughtful features like individual climate controls and a massive entertainment system in the LM500h. With its focus on exceptional design, advanced technology, and luxurious materials, the Lexus LM offers a luxurious ownership experience for those seeking a luxury MPV. The new Lexus LM350h and Lexus LM500h are priced from RM1,228,000 and RM1,468,000 respectively.
