As Toyota's "price increase king" in China, Lexus LM has increased its price by more than 1 million yuan, with a landing price of nearly 2.5 million yuan, comparable to Maybach and other models. If this car can be sold at least 1 million after a collision, can you believe it?

It is learned from a vehicle auction APP that the starting price for a Lexus LM 300h starts at 1 million yuan. According to the details of the vehicle, the car left the factory on April 1, 2020, without a license plate, the purchase price was 1416000 yuan, and the damage was caused by a collision.

From the picture, the Lexus LM suffered little damage after the accident. There was no obvious damage to the front and rear headlights, bonnet, bumper, front and rear windshield, etc., and the damage was mainly concentrated on the right door, in which the front and rear doors were obviously sunken, the door frame was obviously deformed, and the damage was not very serious. The details of the accident are not known, but from the damage to the vehicle, it can be speculated that the accident was caused by the impact of the other vehicle on the right side of the Lexus door.

Data show that the Lexus LM 300h officially went on sale on February 24 this year, launching seven elegant editions and four Imperial editions respectively, with a manufacturer's suggested retail price of 1.166 million yuan and 1.466 million yuan respectively. On the power side, the power side is equipped with the same 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine oil-electric hybrid power as the Elfa twin-engine / will-law twin-engine, which matches the electronically controlled four-wheel drive system.

Lexus LM positioning luxury business cars, price and face will be the focus of the target consumer, coupled with the low production quota, price increase queue purchase is inevitable. According to previous reports, the price increase of Lexus LM is generally about 800000 yuan, while the above auction Lexus LM 300h model is a seven-seat elegant version, indicating that the purchase price is 1.416 million yuan, which does not seem to be as big as people think, but it is not clear whether there is another price increase.

Netizens have different opinions on this. Some netizens think that "if you only need 1 million yuan, you will be robbed crazy!" Some netizens also said, "to buy this car is to save face, so do you still have face to buy a used car?" It is worth mentioning that 1 million yuan is only the starting price of the car, in fact, if there are enough people involved in the auction, it is not difficult to be higher than the purchase price.

Lexus LM is not the only Lexus car with price increases. Its ES, NX, UX and LS models sold in China have raised prices many times, causing dissatisfaction among consumers. At the end of last year, Toyota was fined 87.6131 million yuan by the State Market Supervision and Administration on suspicion of manipulating the prices of Lexus dealers.

Lexus's price increase has not affected consumers' enthusiasm at all. According to the latest data, Lexus sales in China rose 22.3% to 20698 vehicles in August and 9.06% to 138349 vehicles from January to August. As a second-tier luxury brand that has not yet been domestically made, Lexus sales have exceeded the level of the same period last year, leaving Cadillac behind.
