  • It’s an expensive people mover

The Lexus LM is a rival for premium people movers like the Mercedes-Benz EQV, and there’s a good chance many owners will be driven around in this vehicle rather than getting behind the wheel themselves. Although if they do, they’ll be rewarded with a plush, cosseting drive experience.

Sitting above the LM350h is the flagship LM500h which is about $220,000. Rather than being a seven-seater like its sibling, the 500h is strictly a four-seater.

Behind the front compartment are two big captain’s chairs that recline flat if required. 

Standard gear includes a digital rearview mirror, and a 14.0-inch touchscreen, a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, a head up display, seven USB ports, a smartphone charger and a rear 14.0-inch multimedia display.

The 500h adds niceties like a separation partition with elevating and dimmable glass, that doubles as a 48.0-inch widescreen display to watch films and TV, or take conference calls with. 

The 500h combines a 2.4-litre turbocharged petrol engine and a hybrid setup, making for power and torque of 202kW and 460Nm respectively. It has all-wheel drive and is paired with a six-speed automatic transmission.

The extensive safety suite includes intersection assist, and a pre-collision system with vehicle, pedestrian, bicyclist and daytime motorcyclist detection, and a lot more.

Tim Nicholson
Managing Editor
Calling out the make and model of every single car he saw as a toddler might have challenged his parents’ patience, but it was clearly a starting point for Tim Nicholson’s journey into automotive journalism. Tim launched the program, Fender Bender, on community radio station JOY 94.9 during completion of his Master of Arts (Media and Communications). This led to an entry role at industry publication GoAuto, before eventually taking the role of Managing Editor. A stint as RACV’s Motoring Editor – including being an Australia’s Best Cars judge – provided a different perspective to automotive media, before leading him to CarsGuide where he started as a Contributing Journalist in September 2021, and transitioned to Senior Editor in April 2022, before becoming Managing Editor in December 2022.
