Automotive group Lexus has said its latest vehicle, the LM (Luxury Mover) people carrier, offers a level of sophistication and exclusivity more in keeping with private jets than with four-wheeled transport. By Leatherbiz.

It said the vehicle is a “perfect expression” of ‘omotenashi’, Japan’s traditional commitment to hospitality.

In keeping with this, the rear passenger seats are upholstered in aniline leather and have integrated heating, ventilation and massage functions. The seats are also equipped with extendable ottomans to support the lower legs and recline, airline-style, to fully horizontal if passengers desire it.

Lexus said the LM can be classified as “a new kind of limousine for the modern age”, in which business, leisure and relaxation can overlap in a single journey and where “peace, quiet and privacy are the most highly valued luxury qualities”.
