Car Buyer's Guide

Overview

The Lexus LM is an executive MPV based around the Alphard/Vellfire formula, but sold as Lexus’ luxury people-mover in Malaysia. Launched here in 2024, the AW10 generation suits buyers who want either a seven-seat hybrid family shuttle or a four-seat chauffeured cabin. Prices start from RM 1,228,000.

LM in 2026 — what's new

For 2026, the Malaysian Lexus LM carries on unchanged, with the same two-variant line-up introduced in 2024: LM350h and LM500h. The latest LM news is a Japan update in 2025 that brings better NVH and moves the rear door switches on the four-seat Executive variant, but no Malaysia-specific 2026 revision has been announced.

Which variant to buy

Most buyers should start with the LM350h at RM 1,228,000. It gets seven seats, a 2,494 cc petrol hybrid system with 188 hp and an eCVT automatic, so it is the sensible pick if the LM is doing family and airport work. The LM500h costs RM 1,468,000; the RM 240,000 gap buys a four-seat layout, a 2,393 cc petrol hybrid system with 268 hp and a conventional automatic.

Verdict

The LM is a very expensive executive MPV, plainly sitting above its same-class rivals on price: the wider segment runs from RM 269,800 to RM 548,000, while the Lexus starts beyond RM 1.2 million. The appeal is narrow but clear: a Lexus-badged luxury MPV with hybrid power and either seven seats or a four-seat flagship cabin. If you mainly need seats and space, the price gap is hard to ignore.
