AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)02/20 Report--

The new Lexus MPV model, which has been at the forefront of the "price increase", earlier decided not to launch the launch conference because of excessive public opinion and decided to keep a low profile on February 24th. However, as the Lexus market in China is still hot, the price increase continues, but the price increase is not as much as more than one million before.

Today, industry insiders revealed about the price increase for the Lexus LM hybrid version, including an increase of 650000 for the seven-seat version with an advance price of 1.166 million, and a 950000 increase for the four Imperial editions with the pre-price of 1.466 million. It is also mentioned that the car dealer will be able to deliver the car in March this year, so there is no need to wait too long.

For such a price, compared with the previous price increase of over one million, there is much less news, which is equivalent to nearly half of the price increase of the four versions, but it is still very large. It even confirms a joke spread online before-- customer: can you withdraw a car with a price increase of 800000? Sales: I'm sorry, sir, but there's no such a big discount. The seven-seat version is relatively few, equivalent to twice the price increase of Elfa, and Lexus, which has its own "noble" flavor, may really have such strength.

There may be some truth in the price of Lexus LM, which has only four days to go on the market, because according to previous sources, there will be a price increase, and how much is unknown. "until the official suggested retail price and quota are released, it is impossible to determine the specific amount of price increase, because the specific price increase will be determined by the market."

On December 22nd last year, Lexus held its first warm-up event for the LM model, during which the rhythm of LM pre-sale and launch was announced. However, due to the problem of excessive public opinion, Lexus postponed the pre-sale time to January 15, and will directly announce the manufacturer's suggested retail price. And said that it will be officially put on sale on February 24.

According to the official announcement, there are seven elegant editions and four imperial editions, which are priced at 1.166 million yuan and 1.466 million yuan respectively, and will be available in black and black and white, of which the seven-seat version also uses a 2-seat 2-seat layout. The 4-seat layout adopts a partition design, and the back row is designed for the big boss, with a 26-inch display screen, a 14L car refrigerator, a rear touch display screen, a back seat massage and so on.

Since the Lexus LM is based on the same platform as Toyota's Elfa and Wilfa, the appearance of the Lexus family design is similar to that of Elfa and will, and the side lines of the Z-type are decorated with chrome plating, which further reveals the luxury style.

The power configuration official only launched the Lexus LM300h, which is equipped with the same 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine as the Elfa twin-engine and matches the electronically controlled all-wheel drive system. According to officials, the Lexus LM uses a readjusted suspension and swinging valve shock absorbers to improve comfort.

Price increase has become a tradition of domestic sales in Lexus. Elfa adds NT $200,000 to NT $300,000 and other cars. It is conceivable that Lexus LM, which has a low production quota, will inevitably queue for a price increase.

Because Lexus sales have not been released in January this year. According to 2019 data, global sales of Lexus reached 765300 vehicles, up 10% from the same period in 2018, with the largest increase of 25% in China, with a total of 202000 vehicles sold.
