Lexus’ first minivan, the new LM, will undergo some improvements and add the new LM500h (3-row, 6-seater) model, which will be announced in late March 2024 and released in May. The “LM500h “EXECUTIVE” currently on sale is only a 2-row luxurious 4-seat model, but if the LM500h (3-row 6-seater) is added, I would buy the Alphard or Vellfire. It seems likely that those considering it will choose the Lexus LM.

Lexus new “LM” partially improved 3-row 6-seater model added to 2024 model

The LM500h “EXECUTIVE” currently on sale is only a 4-seater model with two rows of seats.

Due to some improvements to the LM, a new 6-seater model, the LM500h, will be added to the lineup. It is expected that more people will consider the LM as an option along with the Alphard and Vellfire. If you can afford it, the resale value is high, and I don’t think it’s that bad considering the total cost.

Currently, seats for the Alphard and Vellfire are only available in 7-seater models, and there seems to be a lot of demand for a 6-seater version of the LM for different reasons.

BladeScan AHS　The world’s first BladeScan® Adaptive High Beam System (AHS) is adopted in the RX, which underwent a minor change in August 2019. Light from the LED light source is irradiated onto a blade mirror that rotates at high speed. AHS is a new mechanism in which the light reflected from the blade mirror illuminates the front while traveling at high speed through the lens. Although the light does not appear to be moving due to the afterimage effect, the light distribution can be precisely controlled by turning the LED light on and off at the appropriate timing in synchronization with the rotation of the blade mirror. This enables more detailed light blocking than conventional AHS, and by widening the high beam range, the system can quickly recognize pedestrians and traffic signs without dazzling oncoming or preceding vehicles.

Digital inner mirror　The digital inner mirror uses a larger display with high resolution to improve rearward visibility.
