Lexus High-End Official Mini Van, Released Domestically

Lexus Korea launched the multipurpose vehicle (MPV) LM 500h on the 24th. The Lexus LM series was first introduced in 2020, and the model released domestically this time is the second-generation new model unveiled last year.

It has a strong character as a ceremonial vehicle for rear-seat passengers. The second-row seats feature leather material with metal decorations and an arrow feather pattern, giving a luxurious impression. It is equipped with a folding table, refrigerator, umbrella holder, and open storage space. Panels for controlling air conditioning, audio, and lighting are placed on both sides of the seats.

The 4-seat model separates the front and second-row spaces with a 48-inch large display. It has brightness adjustment and vertical opening functions, and soundproofing material to block noise between the front and rear seats. Vibration was reduced by adding vibration-damping rubber inside the seats, and air conditioning functions can be controlled separately for different body parts.

An electronic suspension combined with a frequency-responsive valve is installed. It adjusts braking force just before stopping to reduce driver and passenger fatigue. It also has a function that generates force in the opposite direction when the vehicle sways left and right, suppressing shaking even on curved sections.

The 2.4ℓ turbo hybrid engine and electric motor produce 368 horsepower. The 6-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel-drive system can distribute up to 80% of the driving force to the rear. The 4-seat model is priced at 196 million KRW, and the 6-seat model at 148 million KRW (including VAT). To coincide with the launch of this new car, Lexus Korea introduced a new membership program for attending fashion shows, exhibitions, golf tournaments, and more.
