Lexus MPV: Lexus India has once again opened bookings for its flagship luxury MPV LM 350h. Bookings were temporarily closed in September 2024 due to supply chain challenges and a glut of orders. Earlier, when bookings for the vehicle opened in August 2023, it had received 100 orders in the first month itself.
The LM 350h, which was launched in India in March 2024, is essentially a more premium and luxurious version of the Toyota Vellfire. Its ex-showroom price ranges from ₹ 2.10 crore to ₹ 2.63 crore, making it one of the most expensive Lexus vehicles in India.
Design and configuration options
The luxury MPV is available in four attractive colour options—Sonic Titanium, Sonic Quartz, Graphite Black Glass Flake and Sonic Agate. There is a choice of two cabin colours—Black and Solis White—for the interior. Customers can buy it in a four-seater or seven-seater configuration, making it suitable for both family and executive use.
Premium Features and Technology
The LM 350h has a long list of modern features. It gets a 14-inch touchscreen infotainment system that comes with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The rear cabin gets a 48-inch entertainment screen that makes long journeys extremely comfortable. Apart from this, features like a 23-speaker premium audio system, folding table, heated armrest, reading light, vanity mirror, umbrella holder and mini refrigerator make it a luxury lounge on the go.
