The luxury car manufacturer Lexus Cars India has temporarily halted bookings for the new LM 350h luxury MPV in the country. The automaker launched the much-awaited LM 350h in the Indian market in March this year at an ex-showroom price of INR 2.0 crore. The LM 350h MPV was revealed globally last year. Bookings for the MPV started in India in August 2023, and the company received over 100 reservations within the first month.
Lexus Cars India has stopped the booking process due to overwhelming demands from customers and persistent supply chain issues. As a result, buyers will not be able to book this robust MPV for the time being. However, the company has announced that it will resume the booking process soon.
Lexus Cars India said in an official statement that “Lexus India is humbled by the overwhelming response received from our guests for the Lexus LM 350h, and we sincerely thank all our guests for their strong support. Designed for a serene and productive passenger experience, the luxurious vehicle embodies Lexus’ commitment to delivering exceptional comfort, innovative design, and unparalleled grandeur.”
