Lexus India has officially commenced deliveries of its luxury MUV – the Lexus LM 350h. Although the prices were first announced back in March 2023, it’s now over a year later that the official deliveries have begun. While the company hasn’t given a clarification for this, we suspect the delay is mostly due to availability issues. The LM 350h comes to India as a completely built-up (CBU) vehicle and also has high demand in the global markets.
