Overview
The Lexus LM is a 2024-generation executive MPV for buyers who want a chauffeur-oriented luxury people mover, with a choice of seven-seat hybrid practicality or a four-seat flagship layout. Prices start from RM1,228,000. It sits far above the Toyota Alphard and Vellfire in price, and targets a distinctly more exclusive brief.
LM in 2026 — what's new
No 2026-specific Lexus LM update is announced, so the Malaysian model carries into 2026 unchanged with the LM350h and LM500h line-up. The latest reported revision is a 2025 Japanese-market update that improves NVH and relocates the rear door switches in the four-seat Executive variant. Malaysia continues with the seven-seat LM350h and four-seat LM500h introduced in 2024.

Which variant to buy
Most buyers should choose the RM1,228,000 LM350h. It has seven seats, a 2.5-litre hybrid system producing 368 hp, front-wheel drive and an eCVT, so it is the only choice for carrying more than four people. Pay RM1,468,000 for the LM500h only if a four-seat cabin is the point: the RM240,000 gap also gets 456 hp from a 2.4-litre hybrid, AWD and a conventional automatic transmission.

Lexus LM buyer's guides & reviews
Verdict
The LM is not priced as an alternative to mainstream luxury MPVs. Even the entry model costs more than twice the RM548,000 Toyota Alphard, while the LM500h reaches RM1.468 million. Its case rests on the specific choice between seven-seat chauffeured transport and a dedicated four-seat flagship cabin, rather than price. The 2025 Japanese NVH revisions also address a central luxury-MPV priority.
