Lexus has shared the first image of its next-generation LM minivan slated to debut at the Shanghai Show on next Tuesday, April 18.
Based on the pic, the car gets a revised glass dome and a trunk lid spoiler, as well as reshaped taillights.
All technical parameters remain to be revealed. The current generation uses a 3.5-liter V6 available in 270 PS (266 hp / 199 kW) and 296 PS (292 hp / 218 kW) flavors, as well as a hybrid powertrain getting 264 PS (260 hp / 194 kW) out of a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine and two e-motors. The V6 can be had with a six-speed or eight-speed automatic transmission, while the hybrid four-pot ships with an e-CVT gearbox.
The current LM version (shown in the rest of the gallery and the video) has a seven-seat passenger cabin with captain’s seats in the second row, a power curtain between the driver and the passenger spaces, a 26-inch display and a built-in fridge.
