Lexus LM hybrid 2024 review: New luxury people mover blows Mercedes-Benz V-Class out of the water?

The 2024 Lexus LM is not the new model most people expected the Japanese premium brand to launch in Australia. You see, it’s a people mover – that’s a segment a lot of carmakers are abandoning locally (see: Honda Odyssey) as buyers flock to three-row SUVs in increasing numbers. So, where does it fit in? Well, at the top end, of course. The LM has the Mercedes-Benz V-Class firmly in its sights. Yes, that means it’s seeing past the best-selling Kia Carnival, although all of three of these models are competing for fleet sales with private car service operators. Needless to say, the Lexus is looking to offer its occupants the best experience of the bunch. In this expert review, CarsGuide Managing Editor Tim Nicholson samples the new LM and its all-hybrid line-up to find out whether or not it’s raised the bar for luxury on four wheels. But as he finds out, there’s a lot more to the high-end experience than just the nuts and bolts. #Lexus #LM #Review -- 00:00
