I reviewed the ‘Rolls-Royce’ mini van!

Mat has got his hands on one of the most luxurious cars he’s ever reviewed - the all-new Lexus LM!
It’s an all-new MPV from Lexus, and Mat is about to find out if this luxurious people carrier has what it takes to compete with top-class saloons such as the Mercedes S-Class or BMW 7 Series.
When it comes to the design, there isn’t much to say about the rear or sides. It comes with smatterings of chrome about the place, along with a rear spoiler, but otherwise, this people carrier is relatively boxy and nondescript. However, once you step around to the front, you’re greeted by Lexus’s trademark HUGE grille! This helps make it super imposing on the road, and it also comes flanked by high-tech matrix LED headlights.
The interior quality for the driver is pretty decent. There’s lots of leather throughout the cabin, as well as a large infotainment screen and digital dial display. There’s a fairly decent amount of interior storage, too, and the seats are incredibly comfortable.
However, step into the back and you'll find that comfort is absolutely next level. We’ve got our hands on the range-topping Takumi edition, which comes with just two business class-style seats. There’s a huge screen that spans the length of the cabin, coupled with several speakers, including two huge speakers built into each door! The seats can recline fully flat, window shades are built in, and there is absolutely loads of storage! This is truly the way to travel in first-class style on the road.
When it comes to the engine choice, there’s only one. It’s a 2.5-litre 4-cylinder engine that comes with a CVT gearbox as well as an electric motor. There is the option to add an additional electric motor to offer four-wheel drive, but interestingly, both the single motor and dual motor offer 250hp!
The Lexus LM isn’t cheap. It starts from £90,000, raising to £113,000 for the range-topper! So is it worth it? You’ll need to stick with Mat and see for yourself!

@@SDav21 wait, the side door windows on the V-class won't come down?!?!? Geez I took that for granted..... (Both the Alphard 1st gen (2003) I previously own and the Vellfire (2009) I'm driving now are able to open the windows) There are more engines for the Alphards and Vellfires (the siblings of LM), a 2.4T, 2.5 hybrid and a 2.5 without hybrid. As an Asian I cannot emphasise enough how much we hate diesel engines. The rattling sound automatically links to a cheap car in Asian mind (something like a Ford transit). With a lot of underground carparks in Asia, the "cheap" engine noise will be heard from a long way, which you definitely don't want. First class seats with a transit noise just doesn't add up in our mind.

[@SDav21]

@@Horace20101 Actually you don't hear that rattling sound on 6 or 8 cylinder diesels. Have you heard the new Mazda CX60's inline 6 3.3 litre diesel? It's so smooth and refined. 6 cylinder diesels sound amazing. 4 cylinder diesels are rattly but I like it sometimes because it sounds strong. Also, for me, the droning sound of a hybrid when it accelerates feels less like luxury and sounds more cheap to me. But I think a 6 cylinder diesel would do wonder here. And Toyota's 2.0 d4d in the previous Gen corolla was so nice and quiet even the 2.2 d4d in the Rav4. It would've suited this car so well because it has the torque to pull it. I absolutely love diesels especially the new modern ones. So much torque, great for towing, light on fuel and they sound strong.

[@Goodman-4525]

Lexus finally gives us the one car they have withheld from the western markets. Now I hope people would actually buy it because this is just a different type of luxury to the S class or the massive SUVs. Hopefully the flood of imported Alphards are enough to convince people to get the LM

[@smokwawelski7235]

Minivans are associated with trips of pensioners and are more interesting as a city toilet. Another thing is that in limousines there is no shortage of space either, and the president is unlikely to travel with a 5-seat delegation. Besides, luxury is not only space, but also the engine, and here we have a crappy 4-cylinder. And all for a lot of money

What this needs and im not sure if other markets can have this is lexus' 3l v6, i think the v8 is overkill but the v6 is not only more powerful but also sounds better

More mni van reviewes, please!

Makes me miss our Cherry Red new shape Toyota Estima, the height of early-mid 2000s luxury also with lie flat seats, & screens DVD, & a video input we used for GameCube but the screens were only SD not HD so no HDMI! Also, for some reason the input was at the very back of the vehicle, probably makes sense but was annoying for changing games having to stand up and get up out of captain seats in a moving vehicle was fun, genuinely as a kid but sarcastically as an adult. Also no leather, it was an import and had that weird but comfortable, luxury feeling fabric that a lot of JDM luxury vehicles have, like the Toyota Century.

Thanks for the review You are right the CVT IS the only mistake in here

[@mstreich]

Is 250 hp enough to move a vehicle this large?

I hate minivans but this thing is cool. I need to race my souped up Toyota Alphard in GT7 this weekend.

Hi Mat, this car had the clean air “nano-function” as you mentioned. Even my humble T-Roc has an air filtration option with coil filter. Can you ever test these systems?? I always wonder if it really works, and if it does, how much it really helps in a polluted city.

[@oliverstemp9132]

Some say the nanoe systems are actually worse

The back seat switches are clever and intuitive

[@maplefreak64]

It's perfect for admiring the scenery, and the rear seat is more spacious than the RR Phantom. And the exterior is modest.

[@rustysickle2528]

To think that the LM started off from the JDM-only alphard, but I suppose Toyota internationalized the Alphard as there were too many grey-exports. The LM is the next logical move after seeing the Alphard take off in China. BTW, Alphards absolutely rule in Japan, probably as hire cars. I didn't see a single modern Elgrand at all.

[@hopefultraveller1]

We had an Elgrand before we got our Alphard - the Nissan car was coarse and fragile in comparison.

The Elgrand is just another victim of the Ghosn-era cost-cutting. Still no new generation. Probably the Elgrand is as good as it is for Nissan.

[@hopefultraveller1]

​@@user-yx4cu8mj8z 私たちのエルグランドはブレーキに多くの問題を抱えており、リアドアが電動で閉まらないことがあり、問題のないアルファードほど静かで快適ではありませんでした。エルグランドのエンジンは素晴らしいが、アルファードのエンジンはよりパワフルで静かで、燃料消費量もはるかに少ない。Google翻訳で書かれています。Our Elgrand had many problems with the brakes and sometimes the rear doors would not close electrically, and it was not as quiet or comfortable as our Alphard, which has had no problems. I agree, the Elgrand engine is excellent, but the Alphard's is more powerful and quieter, and it uses much less fuel. Japanese written with Google Translate.

When I travel to Shanghai, I usually get taken around in this car, or a similar Buick. I cannot speak to the it drives, but being driven in this thing is a treat. Far nicer than something like an S class.
