Lexus Malaysia has released a teaser for the new second-generation LM on its Instagram profile. The ultra-luxurious MPV – based on the fourth-gen Toyota Alphard – is the last of the trio (the other being …
Despite the shared underpinnings, the latest LM is quite different from its sibling, so much so that it now has a unique AW10 codename . The dashboard and much of the interior panels are different, and crucially, so is the sheet metal – including the inverted D-pillar “fin” shown in the teaser – meaning that we will see far fewer, incorporating a 12.3-inch digital instrument display, a 14-inch centre touchscreen, physical climate control dials and the jettisoning of the awful Remote Touch pad.
You also get a 23-speaker Mark Levinson Reference sound system, the Lexus Climate Concierge and, on the four-seater model, a massive 48-inch widescreen rear display that can be used in split-screen form with twin HDMI inputs, plus a fridge. The outgoing LM350 is only available with four pews, even though a seven-seater option is available in other markets; it remains to be seen if distributor UMW Toyota Motor will offer the latter this time around. Perhaps the company will mirror the approach taken byOne thing that’s certain is that the LM will no longer be available with a V6, all variants now being four-cylinder hybrids. The LM350h uses a 190 PS/236 Nm 2.
Whichever variant UMW Toyota decides to offer here won’t come cheap. The first-gen LM350 is currently priced at RM1,208,000, and given the steadily rising prices of Japanese imports, we can expect the new one to be even more expensive.After trying to pursue a career in product design, Jonathan Lee decided to make the sideways jump into the world of car journalism instead. He therefore appreciates the aesthetic appeal of a car, but for him, the driving experience is still second to none.
