1. Lexus LM 350h (6/7-seater)

EXTERIOR

The Lexus LM is not an ordinary minivan on Waiyaki Way, Thika Road, Mombasa Road, or the Southern Bypass. This is exquisite luxury on moving wheels, elegant from every angle, sophisticated from the front to the rear, and spectacularly outstanding in every detail. Good is an understatement; let’s go with magnificent. The only existing difference between the Lexus LM and Dassault Falcon 8X is gravity.       

The Lexus LM has a tall and boxy shape that prioritizes interior space and comfort. A prominent chrome-accented or gloss black grille bearing the Lexus badge dominates the front fascia, lending the LM an imposing and commanding road presence. It is an outstanding feature that makes this van the best among the rest. Slim LED headlights and daytime running lights not only provide excellent illumination when driving at night along the Kilimani-Kileleshwa road, but also add an expensive, charming aura that makes the LM undeniably beautiful. A thin lip spoiler on the lower bumper adds a sporty look.

The side profile features power sliding doors, which facilitate effortless entry and exit for VIPs or ranking diplomats who want to be chauffeured from their residence in Riverside to Gigiri for diplomatic meetings. Clean lines and alloy wheels build its sophistication, as the long wheelbase results in a spacious cabin. The rear boasts understated elegance, featuring distinctive LED tail lamps, a roof spoiler, and a large power liftgate, with the Lexus LM badging present, to stamp its authority from the busy streets of Nairobi to posh environments in Muthaiga and Kitisuru. 

INTERIOR & TECHNOLOGY

The Lexus LM takes the bar a notch, no notches higher, when it comes to cabin space, ergonomics, tech, and luxury amenities. At this rate, being chauffeured in this minivan is synonymous with boarding a Cessna Citation XLS. One dominates the ground, the other is king of the air; common denominator: eminence. 

Rather than being heavy on tech and leather, the LM has been designed to provide supreme comfort for the occupants. Depending on the trim level you want us to import for you, you have the options of a 4,6, or 7-seater. The 4-seater is the flagship experience. The captain seats at the rear are quite exceptional, featuring heating, ventilation, and massage functions. The occupants have a large entertainment display to watch the latest action movies on Netflix, a privacy partition if you want to host a Google meeting with potential investors, personal climate controls, privacy glass, and a reclining function. 

Ambient lighting is present for a fulfilling thematic experience, a sunroof provides an airy feel, and multiple storage compartments like cupholders, door pockets, and jacket pockets are present for improved comfort.

PERFORMANCE: How Does it Handle Kenyan Roads?

The Lexus LM is less of an exhilarating performer, even though it is quite capable of giving the Maserati Levante a run for its money, but the manufacturer built it to prioritize comfort, sportiness, and a refined driving experience. Be that as it may, the LM 500h is more powerful than the LM 350h. You might be forgiven for assuming the comfort in the Lexus LM is courtesy of air suspension, but no. The MacPherson struts and double-wishbone perfectly absorb road imperfections for a serene ride.

Due to its low ground clearance, driving off the tarmac is not its cup of tea. If you want an off-roader, we can get you the JAC T8. As pomp and allure have largely been prioritized, safety has not been overlooked. Blind spot monitor, 360-degree camera, rear-cross traffic alert, parking sensors, among many other features have been incorporated.
