Pros

What works in its favour

Best for buyers who want a hushed, generously equipped electric luxury sedan and are happy to trade SUV practicality for comfort and refinement.

  • Buyers who want a quiet, comfort-first luxury electric sedan — launched in India in March 2026 in a single fully loaded variant, at about ₹91.20 lakh ex-showroom
  • Long highway runs — a 74.68 kWh battery rated at 580 km ARAI, with 10-80% in about 28 minutes on a 150 kW fast charger
  • Owners who value cabin kit — a 14-inch touchscreen, Mark Levinson audio, ventilated front seats and the Lexus Safety System+ driver aids are all standard

Cons

What to watch before you buy

  • 580 km is the ARAI claim, which is measured in gentle lab conditions; expect roughly 400-470 km in normal Indian driving, and our band is an estimate because no independent test figure has been published yet.
  • It is a very long car at 5,145 mm with 158 mm of ground clearance and 21-inch wheels, so tight city streets, speed breakers and tyre replacement costs all need thinking about.
  • ZigWheels and the Lexus India site now both list ₹91.20 lakh ex-showroom (CarDekho earlier showed ₹89.99 lakh) — confirm the on-road figure with the dealer.
