Lexus Exterior Design

The Lexus LM has a huge front windshield and a big spindle grille running down to the bottom lip of the fascia. Its face also gets stylish LED headlights sporting tri-piece LED elements. In profile, your attention will be first drawn to the MPV’s massive stance, mostly due to its long wheelbase. Then the party piece – the electronically sliding rear doors – and finally the multi-spoke alloy wheels. At the back, it gets connected and wraparound LED taillights along with the tall rear windscreen, giving it a clean appearance. It is both eye-catching and subtle in its elegance.

Cabin And Features

Lexus has provided it with a cream-coloured cabin theme and a minimalistic dashboard layout with two large screens for the digital driver’s display and the 14-inch infotainment system. The MPV boasts of a variety of seating options globally – 4-, 6- and 7-seat layouts – but is only available in the 4- and 7-seat variants in our market.

The main centrepiece, though, is its second row that gets comfort and convenience features such as reclining ottoman seats, a 23-speaker surround sound system and pillow-styled headrests. Lexus also offers the second row with a HUGE 48-inch TV mounted on the partition between the front and rear sections of the cabin.

Other tech on board includes 64-colour ambient lighting, a 10-inch heads-up display, heated and ventilated seats, and a range of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), which includes adaptive cruise control and high-beam assist.
