Lexus minivan? In our opinion, it’s about time. After all, Volkswagen has the Multivan, Mercedes has the Viano. And somehow, Lexus has been ignoring the premium minibus and minivan segment for over a decade. But now it exists, and it’s called the Lexus LM.
It’s not hard to guess that the Lexus minivan is based on the Toyota Alphard, which many have heard of, but not many have seen. Nevertheless, in Japan, China, and beyond, the Alphard is associated with family and business shuttles.
Interior and Exterior
What is the Lexus LM like? Again, in the spirit of the Alphard, but with a more expressive front and elongated lighting.
As for the interior, as befits a Lexus, it consists of expensive finishing materials, comfortable leather seats, and, of course, a good audio system.
But the coolest thing is that although it’s a minivan, it accommodates only four people, excluding the driver.
Why is that? This is how the Japanese decided to subtly hint that this is a large and comfortable minibus for those who want to ride in the back. Actually, an additional confirmation of this is the partition and a big screen for the rear-seat passengers.

What are the technical specifications of the Lexus LM minivan?
There are no exact details, but most likely, the setup will be identical to the Toyota Alphard model, which is sold in the domestic market with a hybrid powertrain, including a 2.5-liter gasoline engine with 152 horsepower and electric motors that together produce 229 horsepower. Price? We await official information.
