Quick answer
Is the Lexus LM a 7-seater?
Yes, in some versions. Only the LM 350h AWD 7-seat has seven seats, as the LM Takumi is a four-seater. In seven-seat form the seats are arranged 2-2-3: two in front, two in the middle row and three in the third row.
Best for Luxury travel for up to six, with a seventh seat for short trips

The Lexus 7-seater sold in the UK is a hybrid luxury MPV with powered sliding doors, and its three-seat back row tips up to make luggage room.
It is built around the middle row: Autocar says the two middle seats get the space priority and the flip-up rear chairs are for occasional use. With all seven seats in use the boot holds just 110 litres, and Euro NCAP has not tested the LM.

Lexus LM boot space
- 7 seats up
- 110L
- Maximum
- 1,191L
With all seven seats in use the boot holds 110 litres, the smallest of the 4 MPVs with a published boot figure and 136 litres less than the median. The maximum load space is 1,191 litres.
With every seat in use the LM has 110 litres of boot, a VDA figure from Lexus UK, so a full load of seven people leaves very little room for luggage. Tip up the third row and the space grows to 1,191 litres (the press pack says 1,190), but that leaves four seats, which is why Lexus gives no five-seat figure. The four-seat Takumi has 752 litres. Our 7-seater boot space comparison shows how other models do with every seat filled.
How it is measured Lexus UK technical specification VDA figures for the 7-seat: 110 litres with every seat in use and 1,191 litres maximum with the third row tipped up (the press pack says 1,190). Tipping up the third row leaves four seats, so there is no five-seat figure. The four-seat Takumi has 752 litres.

At 5,125mm (5.13m, 16ft 10in) long, the LM is 62mm shorter than the median MPV, and the 3rd shortest of the 6 MPVs we track. It is 1,890mm wide without mirrors and 1,940mm tall. The wheelbase, the distance between the front and rear axles, is 3,000mm.
Third row: who fits?
Lexus fits a three-seat back row split two-plus-one, with thick padding, which tips up to make more luggage room. Autocar says the two middle-row seats get the space priority and the flip-up rear chairs are intended for occasional use. Auto Express calls the seventh seat a jump-style perch and thinks the LM works best with six on board for long trips.
The back row is a three-seat bench split two-plus-one, with thick padding, and it tips up when you need luggage space (Lexus UK). Reviewers see it as secondary: Autocar says the flip-up rear chairs are intended for occasional use, and Auto Express calls the seventh seat a jump-style perch and thinks the LM works best with six on board for long trips.
The sources we checked do not list Isofix positions, so confirm child-seat fitting with a Lexus dealer.

Lexus LM verdict: pros and cons
Our verdict The LM is a hybrid luxury MPV built around its two middle-row seats, with powered sliding doors as standard. Its third row is for occasional use and leaves 110 litres of boot when all seven seats are filled.
Pros
- Powered sliding side doors as standard
- Middle-row seats get the space priority (Autocar)
- Hybrid power with all-wheel drive
Cons
- 110 litres of boot with all seven seats up
- Seventh seat is a jump-style perch (Auto Express)
- Not tested by Euro NCAP
Good to know
- Lexus UK's current technical specification and press pack give a system output of 206 DIN hp (204bhp), lower than the 247bhp Lexus quoted at the 2023 launch and Auto Express still uses; carwow lists 250bhp (Lexus UK, Auto Express, carwow)
- At its 2023 UK launch the 7-seat started at £89,995 with front-wheel drive, but the current price list only includes all-wheel drive versions (Lexus UK)
- Euro NCAP has not tested the LM, and Auto Express thinks low sales make a test unlikely (carwow, Auto Express)
- Powered sliding side doors come as standard (Lexus UK)
- Carwow lists the LM at 5,130mm long, against Lexus UK's 5,125mm (carwow, Lexus UK)
Practicality
The LM is 5,125mm long, 1,890mm wide without mirrors and 1,940mm tall, so check height limits before relying on multi-storey car parks. Powered sliding side doors are standard (Lexus UK), which helps passengers get in where there is no room to swing a door open.
Power figures vary: Lexus UK's current output is 206 DIN hp, lower than the 247bhp quoted at the 2023 launch and still used by Auto Express, while carwow lists 250bhp. We found no towing figure. For other people carriers, see our 7-seater MPV list.
