Lexus India has temporarily stopped accepting bookings for its luxury MPV, the LM 350h, starting from September 21, 2024. Deliveries for the much-anticipated model had only commenced in August this year, positioning it as one of the most opulent MPVs available in the country. The LM 350h is offered in two versions: a 7-seater VIP model priced at Rs 2 crore (ex-showroom), and the more premium 4-seater Ultra Luxury trim, which is priced at Rs 2.50 crore (ex-showroom).
In a statement, Lexus India expressed gratitude for the overwhelming response to the LM 350h, thanking customers for their strong support. "Designed to offer a serene and productive passenger experience, the LM 350h reflects Lexus' dedication to delivering unmatched comfort, innovative design, and ultimate luxury. Its showcase at the Auto Expo 2023 marked a new chapter in ultra-luxury mobility and a significant milestone for Lexus in India. We remain committed to providing world-class products, further strengthening our relationships and continuing our legacy of innovation and excellence."
However, due to ongoing supply challenges and in order to fulfill existing orders, Lexus has announced a temporary halt in bookings for the LM 350h, effective from September 21, 2024. "We are working diligently to reopen bookings as soon as possible," the company added.
