Kuala Lumpur, 27th May 2024 – Since its introduction in 2019, the Lexus LM has set a new standard in the luxury mobility sector. As a pioneer in the concept of 'Luxury Mover', the initial Lexus LM resonated with discerning consumers seeking elevated transportation coupled with unparalleled comfort and luxury.

The Lexus LM, upon its debut in China and various East Asian markets, including Malaysia, seamlessly merged the attributes of a flagship limousine with the expansive space of an MPV, embodying the essence of premium luxury synonymous with the Lexus brand.

Central to the allure of the Lexus LM was its sophisticated design and features, extending the ethos of Lexus’ Omotenashi hospitality. Focused on delivering impeccable comfort and enhancing passengers’ well-being, the Lexus LM set a benchmark for individuals seeking a superior vehicle that seamlessly blends lifestyle and mobility requirements.

Since its inception, the luxury MPV has achieved remarkable global sales, totalling 16,114 units, with notable success in the region, including 2,788 units, and Malaysia, with 32 units sold to date. With the introduction of the new flagship model in Malaysia, these figures are anticipated to soar even higher.

A NEW ERA FOR LUXURY MOBILITY

Catering to the evolving needs of customers while setting new standards for chauffeured luxury experiences, Lexus Malaysia proudly introduces the new Lexus LM, now available in two variants. Customers can choose between the ultimate four-seater mobility experience with the Lexus LM500 or opt for the seven-seater LM350h, delivering unparalleled family motoring with its 2-2-3 seating configuration.

Datuk Ravindran K, President of Lexus Malaysia, remarked, “The Lexus LM has always symbolized success for customers aspiring to indulge in a superior form of luxury transportation. We firmly believe that the two new Lexus LM variants will continue to redefine luxury in the mobility sector, catering to discerning customers seeking elevated indulgence and refinement in their everyday transportation.”

Both variants feature self-charging hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) powertrains, ensuring whisper-quiet operation while delivering refined driving performance and exceptional efficiency. The LM500h boasts a 2.4L, 4-cylinder in-line Turbo Hybrid petrol engine with Direct 4 All-Wheel Drive, delivering robust performance with excellent fuel economy. Conversely, the LM350h comes equipped with a naturally-aspirated 2.5L, 4-cylinder in-line full Hybrid, striking a balance between driving performance and fuel efficiency with power delivered to the front wheels.

DISTINGUISHED ELEGANCE

Exuding confidence and sophistication, the new Lexus LM showcases a captivating exterior design with meticulous attention to detail. The Next Chapter design grants the model a unique identity, characterized by luxurious proportions and standout features.

Highlights of the design include a redesigned front profile accentuated by a new Spindle Body grille, seamlessly integrated with the bodyshell using a satin-effect hot stamping method, a first for Lexus. The vehicle sits on elegant 19-inch Multi-Spoke Mesh Aluminium Wheels and is available in four distinct exterior colours.

COMFORT AND LUXURY

From meticulous craftsmanship to thoughtful appointments, every aspect of the new Lexus LM is meticulously crafted to deliver an unparalleled mobility experience. Designed to embody the essence of Omotenashi hospitality, the cabin offers a modern, serene, and opulent environment, serving as a versatile living space or mobile office.

Adorned with premium materials such as Gin Sui Boku to ‘Yabane’ Ornamentation, the Lexus LM boasts an exquisite and detailed interior, available in Black or Solis White. Novel features include a built-in thermistor for the steering wheel, an independent glass roof, and integrated sunshade to enhance passenger comfort.

Enhancing both aesthetics and functionality, the new Lexus LM features high-performance 3-Beam LED Projector Headlamps, complemented by turn signal lamps and Daytime Running Lights with an outward-facing bi-functional L-signature design. Additionally, the vehicle incorporates Omotenashi illumination, activating clearance lamps upon door unlocking for added convenience and safety.

Each rear passenger is provided with a multi-operation panel for easy access to cabin functions, while the new 48-inch Ultrawide Display in the LM500 ensures an exceptional multimedia experience.

Datuk Ravindran K concluded, “The new Lexus LM redefines exclusive personalized luxury travel, embodying unparalleled craftsmanship, timeless elegance, striking design, and unmatched comfort and performance, setting a new standard in the segment.”
