Design & Presence

The Lexus LM is essentially Lexus' answer to the executive MPV — a tall, imposing presence that reads more chauffeur-driven than weekend warrior. At 5,125 mm long and 1,940 mm tall, it dominates kerbside real estate with a large spindle grille and elongated side glass that emphasize rear-seat importance. Design mixes conservative luxury with clear Lexus cues rather than bold automotive theatre, which suits buyers who want status without shouting. The current model is the Lexus LM 350h Full Hybrid Automatic All-Wheel Drive with 250 HP and a quoted combined consumption of about 7.2 L/100 km.

Interior & Usability

Inside the LM is where the concept pays off: soft leathers, stitched trim and wide armchairs give a lodge-like feel. The model comes in two layouts — a conventional seven-seat arrangement or a four-seat "VIP" configuration with two reclining lounge chairs and a deep centre console — each prioritising rear-passenger comfort. Build quality and materials are consistently high, with attention to silence and vibration control that makes motorway cruising refined. Controls are Lexus-sober rather than flashy, though some rivals offer more intuitive screens.

Space & Everyday Practicality

Space is a core argument: the 7-seat LM can carry a full family but the boot is modest when all seats are in use, with roughly 110 litres of luggage room. Switch to the 4-seat VIP layout and usable luggage capacity jumps to around 752 litres, or fold seats flat for up to about 1,190 litres, enough for long trips. At 5.1 metres long and nearly 1.9 metres wide, interior room feels generous for rear occupants, but park and garage dimensions must be checked. Payload is about 525–535 kg, so carrying four adults plus luggage is comfortably within limits.

Driving & Handling

The LM uses a full-hybrid 2.5-litre powertrain producing about 250 hp (184 kW) and drives all four wheels through a CVT-equipped automatic setup. That power combination yields a 0–100 km/h time of roughly 8.7 seconds — brisk for an MPV but never sporty — and a 190 km/h top speed. On the move the heavy 2,345 kg curb weight is evident in eager initial roll and composed but undramatic handling, with suspension tuned firmly towards comfort and body control. Steering is light and accurate enough for urban manoeuvres, but the LM's scale and soft focus make it happiest being chauffeured.

Efficiency/Consumption & Range

Lexus quotes combined consumption of about 7.2 L/100 km with CO2 around 163 g/km, figures that reflect hybrid assistance but also the LM's size and mass. With a 60-litre tank the theoretical maximum range sits near 830 km, so long cruising without refuelling is practical on paper. Real-world consumption will vary with load, speed and how often the hybrid can recover energy, with city or gentle driving returning closer to the figure and sustained motorway runs nudging it higher. Expect the hybrid system to smooth out fuel use but not deliver small-car economy.

Assistance & Infotainment

Technology is focused on passenger comfort and safety rather than headline-grabbing gimmicks: Lexus Safety System includes adaptive cruise, lane-keep assist and automatic emergency braking as standard. Infotainment supports smartphone integration and can be paired with optional rear-seat entertainment and a premium sound system to keep back-seat passengers entertained. Displays are clear but not the slickest in the segment, and some controls retain physical switches for ease of use at the cost of modern minimalism. Connectivity and HVAC are geared to rear-seat control in the VIP layout, reinforcing the chauffeured-car brief.

Who is it for?

The Lexus LM is aimed squarely at buyers who value rear-seat luxury, quiet refinement and a presence that reads more diplomatic than sporty. It suits companies running executive shuttles, families who prioritise comfort and tech, and anyone who wants limousine-level rear accommodation without hiring a driver. Trade-offs include a high curb weight, modest emissions class (F) and a price tag that favours buyers who accept luxury and practicality over sporting thrills. Those wanting a dynamic driver’s MPV should look elsewhere, but for serene transport the LM is a clear choice.
