Lexus Introduces the Luxurious Lexus LM to the European Market
Lexus, renowned worldwide for its sophisticated high-quality vehicles, is making its highly anticipated entry into the European market with the all-new Lexus LM. This luxury passenger car seamlessly combines the spaciousness of a minivan with the elegance of a limousine.
The Lexus LM symbolizes the fusion of capacity, elegance, and brand values – a revolutionary innovation that is sure to make a lasting impact in the industry.
One of the key objectives during the development of the LM was to create a serene and quiet cabin – qualities that are characteristic of true luxury. Inspired by the original Lexus LS, the masterwork aimed to provide the tranquility one would experience while strolling through a quiet forest park, as well as a soothing and pleasant environment that offers optimal conditions for relaxation, watching a movie, or focusing on work.
To achieve this goal, every possible noise was carefully analyzed, and comprehensive measures were taken to isolate noise sources and prevent unwanted sounds from entering the cabin. The construction was meticulously designed to minimize gaps and reduce noise transmission, particularly between the doors and the body. Specially designed tires dampen road noise, while the partition between the front and rear of the four-seater LM is made of acoustic glass, further reducing noise transfer.
The four-seater LM is equipped with the specially tailored Mark Levinson 3D Surround Sound audio system. Both the four-seater and seven-seater configurations feature ultra-thin high-resolution screens that deliver sound and image quality that meet the highest standards, creating a cinematic experience within the car. This unique audio system offers both linked and independent modes, allowing passengers in the front and rear to enjoy the same or different content, showcasing Lexus’ understanding of personalized comfort.
The Lexus Climate Concierge system, developed for the new LM, is much more than just an air conditioner, as it also influences a range of other aspects of the cabin environment. Essentially acting as a personal butler, it ensures that all functions related to the cabin atmosphere cater to each passenger’s needs, including air conditioning, rear lighting, window curtains, and seat position.
The LM 350h, equipped with a 2.5-liter self-charging hybrid engine, is quiet and highly efficient. However, its 250 DIN horsepower/184 kW power and 239 Nm maximum torque enable it to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 8.7 seconds. The E-Four electronic all-wheel drive is included as standard equipment. By redistributing torque, it prioritizes the rear axle, providing stability during turns and the highest level of comfort for passengers.
The LM is equipped with Adaptive Variable Suspension (AVS). The shock absorbers feature frequency-sensitive valves, allowing them to operate in micro-amplitude and high-frequency levels, resulting in less road surface feedback for occupants. Additionally, AVS incorporates linear solenoid actuators, enhancing ride comfort and steering response.
For the safety and support of the driver and passengers, the latest generation of Lexus Safety System+ active safety and driver assistance systems is included in the LM’s equipment. It features enhanced collision avoidance functions, including emergency steering assist and adaptive cruise control that works in conjunction with proactive driving assistance, enhancing safety during slow city traffic maneuvers. The extensive range of safety functions is further complemented by lane departure alert, side clearance warning, and driver attention monitoring. With these aids, the LM provides first-class driving and a superb sense of well-being.
In every detail of the LM, one can feel the infinite pursuit of Lexus to achieve the highest level of “Omotenashi” – personalized luxury, comfort, and well-being. From the central section of the four-seater model, which ensures durability and rigidity, to the integrated surface temperature scanning – Lexus truly embodies the spirit of Omotenashi.Lexus Introduces the All-New Lexus LM to the European Market
