Lexum LM: Platform, Engine and Exterior Design

The Lexus LM is built on the TNGA-K platform, which is reported to be 50% more firm than its predecessor and shares its foundation with the Toyota Vellfire. The new Lexus LM includes two petrol-hybrid engine choices. The Lexus LM350h will offer the 2.5-liter self-charging hybrid engine that is seen in other Toyota and Lexus cars, which also comes standard with four-wheel drive. This might be the powertrain choice for India too.

A wraparound LED light bar that runs over the rear fascia and a big, vertical grille are among the exterior changes made to the 2024 Lexus LM. In order to hide the slab-sided appearance in the profile, a modified glasshouse and minor creases along the length are used. The Lexus LM overseas offers two different seating arrangements. It sits on a set of 17- or 19-inch alloy wheels and has sliding doors on both sides.

Lexus LM: Lavish Interiors

The LM has a 48-inch widescreen display that divides the driver's cabin from the back seat, airline-style recliner seats, a 23-speaker surround sound audio system, pillow-style headrests, a refrigerator, and an advanced air-conditioning system that can detect a passenger's body temperature in their face, chest, thighs, and lower legs. A glass panel that can be raised or lowered and dimmed is also available for more privacy.
