Lexus LM Export from China — Specs & Quote

Name: Lexus LM
Brand: Lexus
Availability: PreOrder

Why this model

What makes the Lexus LM worth importing

01

The definitive chauffeur MPV

The four-seat Emperor Suite configuration with a partition, reclining rear thrones and a large screen is what hotel and executive-transport operators across Asia specify above anything else.

02

Originally a China-market exclusive

The first generation was sold only in China, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Southeast Asia. It was designed around Chinese chauffeur-service expectations, which is why it dominates that role.

03

366 hp from the 2.4-litre turbo hybrid

The second generation's higher-output hybrid with Direct4 all-wheel drive gives genuine performance in a five-metre MPV.

04

Lexus dependability in high-mileage service

Chauffeur MPVs cover enormous distances. Lexus's reliability record is exactly what an operator needs when the vehicle is earning every day.

About this model

Where the Lexus LM sits in the market

The LM is Lexus's luxury MPV and the vehicle that defines executive chauffeur transport across Asia — 5,125 mm long on a 3,000 mm wheelbase in second-generation form, with four, six and seven-seat configurations. The four-seat Emperor Suite, with its partition, reclining rear seats and large screen, is what hotel and executive-transport operators specify.

It is assembled in Japan, and the first generation was sold only in China, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Southeast Asia — designed specifically around Chinese chauffeur expectations. The second generation from 2023 expanded to Japan, Europe, Australia and India. Since it is Japanese-built, China sourcing is re-export rather than accessing Chinese production cost, and direct Japanese or regional sourcing is often better.

Which version are you quoting?

Assembled in Japan at Inabe, Mie and Tahara, Aichi. The first generation was sold only in China, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Southeast Asia; the second generation from 2023 expanded to Japan, Europe, Australia and India. Not sold in North America.

Before you order

What an importer must know about the Lexus LM

Assembled in Japan, not China — a China-sourced LM is a re-export with Japanese origin for customs purposes, so the usual Chinese cost advantage does not apply. Both LHD and RHD exist given the Japanese production and Hong Kong, Australia and India markets. Note the 5,125 mm length and 1,955 mm height against local parking and registration rules. Because the second generation is now sold officially in more markets, check whether an official Lexus channel covers your destination before pursuing an independent route.

Market fit

Where the Lexus LM sells

Based on documented export presence and how the vehicle suits local conditions — not a guarantee of homologation, which we confirm per market before you order.

Southeast Asia

The LM's original market region, where chauffeur MPV culture is strongest and Lexus has established service coverage.

Middle East

Hotel and executive transport demand in the Gulf where the four-seat configuration matches how these vehicles are actually used.

Central Asia

Executive transport demand with limited official Lexus coverage, and the LM's status appeals strongly.

Africa

Government and corporate VIP transport where the Emperor Suite configuration and Lexus reliability both matter.

Lexus LM FAQ

Questions importers ask about this model

Why is the LM so dominant in Asian chauffeur service? +

Because it was designed for exactly that role. The four-seat Emperor Suite configuration — a partition separating driver from passengers, deeply reclining rear seats, a large screen and a refrigerator — is what hotel and executive-transport operators in China, Hong Kong and Southeast Asia specifically ask for. Combined with Lexus reliability under high daily mileage, it became the default choice.

Should I source it through China? +

Probably not. The LM is built in Japan, so a Chinese-sourced car is a re-export with a Chinese intermediary's margin added and Japanese origin for customs. Since the second generation is now sold officially in Japan, Europe, Australia, India and Southeast Asia, there are usually cleaner routes. We compare them honestly rather than defaulting to the China option.

Which seating configuration should I order? +

The four-seat Emperor Suite for hotel, VIP and executive chauffeur work — that is the configuration those buyers want and will pay for. Six or seven seats for family use or airport transfer operations where passenger count matters more than individual luxury. The four-seat version commands a substantial premium, so specify based on the actual end use rather than assuming more seats is better.

Can EV Auto Pro supply the Lexus LM for export? +

Yes, with an honest caveat. Lexus sells this model through official channels in China only, so export units move through China's parallel-export channel. We source the vehicles, handle export and destination-market documentation and shipping, and explain the warranty and after-sales position for your country before you commit. Tell us the quantity and destination and we will confirm feasibility and send a real quote.

What does a Lexus LM quote include? +

We quote per confirmed configuration rather than publishing a fixed price we cannot hold. Every quote states the vehicle cost, inland transport, export handling, documentation and shipping separately, as EXW, FOB or CIF depending on your request — so you can see exactly what is and is not included before you commit to a deposit.

How is the vehicle checked before shipment? +

We check condition, appearance, mileage, configuration, battery status and basic functions before loading, and send you a photo and video report. If something does not match the specification you ordered, it is resolved before the unit is loaded rather than after it arrives at your port.

What warranty applies to an exported Lexus LM? +

Warranty policy depends on brand, model and destination country, and some manufacturer warranties are limited or void outside China. We explain the actual warranty position for your market before order confirmation rather than after, and we supply common spare and maintenance parts for units we have exported.
