After much anticipation, <a href="https://www.mansworldindia.com/wheels/lexus-mountainside-getaway">Lexus India</a> finally launched the LM 350h MPV over the weekend, with a starting price of Rs 2 crore, rising to Rs 2.5 crore for the 4-seater Lounge package (both prices are ex-showroom). This makes it the most expensive MPV in the market, surpassing its sibling, the Toyota Vellfire (Rs 1.2 crore).&nbsp;Sporting a rather inconspicuous design, the MPV features a pair of sleek LED headlamps with vertical housing for the fog lamps. Additionally, you'll notice a large glass housing from the side profile, which also houses the sliding doors for entry. At the rear, there's a full-width LED tail-light setup with Lexus branding on top.&nbsp;<img src="https://d12d6l12s3d372.cloudfront.net/Lexus_LM_350h_1_0aaf64c0d9.jpeg" alt="Lexus LM 350h-1.jpeg">&nbsp;Under the hood, the Lexus LM packs a 2.5-litre, 4-cylinder self-charging hybrid engine that delivers 250PS of power and 239Nm of torque, mated to an eCVT gearbox. Moving to the interiors, the LM boasts recliner seats, a massive 48-inch display, a 23-speaker surround-sound audio system, and a partition between the front and rear compartments.&nbsp;<img src="https://d12d6l12s3d372.cloudfront.net/Lexus_LM_350h_2_927f43f3b1.jpeg" alt="Lexus LM 350h-2.jpeg">&nbsp;Additional notable features include fold-out tables, heated armrests, ottomans, multiple USB ports, wireless phone chargers, reading lights, vanity mirrors, a refrigerator, rear glove boxes, and an umbrella holder.
