Starting from 1.166 million before price increase, the "Rolls-Royce" of MPVs, Lexus LM is here!

"Can I pick up the car with an additional price of 500,000?"

"I'm sorry, I really can't give such a big discount"

This sentence is just a joke, but Jokes come from life.

In the high-end MPV market, you must have heard of Alfa, which is still hard to get a car with a price increase of 300,000. Toyota, which has tasted the sweetness, cannot bear to let Alfa "rob money" alone. This is not , a new generation of price-increasing king - Lexus LM is here.

On February 24, that is, today, Lexus LM officially went on sale. The new car launched two early versions: the seven-seat Junya version is priced at 1.166 million, and the four-seat Royal Edition is priced at 1.466 million. Of course, the actual price is not so "affordable".

As the "Lexus version of Alpha", Lexus LM is the fifth flagship product launched by Lexus after LS, LC, LX and luxury yacht LY. Therefore, regarding the increase in price, Lexus LM said: It has sufficient confidence.

In appearance, the new car continues the outline of Alfa, but the details adopt Lexus’s iconic family-style design. The huge spindle-shaped air intake grille adopts a mesh structure inside, and the The headlight set is composed of three matrix lamp beads, and the hook-shaped LED daytime running lights are quite visually impactful.

The rear adopts a through-type LED taillight design similar to that of the new UX, with a through-going chrome decorative strip, and the sharp edges present an X shape, which is very avant-garde. A black sports kit is also installed below, echoing the front face. The overall shape can be summed up in one sentence: high-profile luxury with connotation.

The interior design of LM is different from other Lexus models. It adopts a new style of three-spoke steering wheel and suspended central control screen. The interior materials are of high quality and innovative ink decoration is used. The design of the board provides two interior color options: black and black and white.

Returning to the vehicle itself, due to its high positioning, the LM300h cannot simply be understood as Alfa's "rebranded vehicle". First of all, its size is larger than Alfa, with length, width and height of 5100mm, 1980mm, and 1950mm respectively, and the wheelbase is as high as 3000mm. In addition, in order to have higher ride comfort, the new car has also been upgraded for the suspension.

As we all know, space is a highlight of MPV models. In addition to the conventional 2+23 style 7-seater layout, this time Lexus LM also provides a 2+2 4-seater layout. Just imagine, such a large MPV can only accommodate 4 people. How spacious will the cabin space be?

In addition to unlimited leg and head room, the new car also has partitioned privacy space. For the distinguished passengers in the back row, it provides a 26-inch large LCD screen, a car refrigerator that can hold about 2 bottles of 750ml champagne, seat massage, and a rear control panel (which can adjust the car temperature, light source, seat angle and audio functions) etc.

When you are tired on the road, turn on the seat massage. The Ottoman seat has up to 4 shock-absorbing modules and a variety of imitation acupressure massage modes built into it. It is filled with low-elastic polyurethane material, which can effectively filter out fine particles. shock. Coupled with a Mark Levinson 19-speaker sound system, no matter what music is played in the car, it can bring an excellent audio-visual feast.

In terms of power, the Lexus LM?300h series is equipped with a 2.5-liter gasoline-electric hybrid system. The engine has a maximum power of 86kW (117PS) and a peak torque of 198N·m. It is matched with an E-CVT gearbox; the total power of the electric motor is 155kW. The torque is 409N.m, and the comprehensive system power is 120kW.

Compared with its starting price of over 1 million, this kind of power performance is indeed too "low-key". Wouldn't it be nice to buy a 911 with more than 1 million? nonono, don't forget, the owners who buy this car come here for comfort and high-end. How many of them care about its power, since they don't drive it themselves anyway.

Let’s talk about how much more the Lexus LM will cost. It is said that the price increase is 650,000 for the 7-seat version and 850,000 for the four-seat version.

In other words, the price increase alone is enough to buy a Mercedes-Benz S, which is incredible in the eyes of ordinary people.

But if you think about it carefully, people who are interested in buying million-dollar MPVs such as Alfa and Lexus LM are not short of money. In other words, they think that the price increase is more important than the price increase. Time, if you want to buy it at the original price, you can, then just wait patiently. For those who want to pick up the car as early as possible, the only shortcut is to increase the price.

When you focus on the hundreds of thousands of yuan added, what the bosses value is that if you pick up the car early, you can enjoy it early. It is so comfortable to sit inside and talk about projects worth hundreds of millions.

Do you really understand the world of rich people? Anyway, I don’t understand.
