Lexus could be planning to launch a luxury MPV in the Indian market. The brand in the near future is likely to introduce the Lexus LM350h in India. The company has filed patents for the ‘LM350h’ at the intellectual property office in India. This leads us to believe that the brand is likely to bring the luxury car to our market. If this turns out to be true, Lexus, the luxury vehicle division of the Japanese automaker Toyota, will position the LM350h above the Toyota Vellfire in the Indian market. Currently, the Vellfire comes to Indian shores via the CBU (Completely Built-Up) route and comes with a price tag of INR 89.90 ex-showroom.
