  2. Gets a 2.5-litre self-charging hybrid powertrain

Being the most premium MPV in India, the Lexus LM has no direct rival. Its platform-sharing cousin Toyota Vellfire is the only offering in India that comes close, however, the range-topping Lexus LM with the 4-seater Lounge package costs almost double at Rs 2.50 crore, and offers a lot more in terms of luxury.
