Since 1989, Lexus has been redefining what the world expects from a luxury automotive experience, the cars Lexus make are the just extension of the innovations and designs that take us a step further. Lexus Bengaluru thrives on similar values, “every note a melody and every drive an unforgettable experience”.

Baba Satagopan speaking on the occasion said, “Lexus has launched three models with a slogan of “Experience Amazing”. Lexus model has the identity of its own. The Lexus LX 450D draws power from a 4.5-litre twin turbo, V8 oil burner churning out 269bhp and 650Nm of peak torque. The other model in the LX lineup, the LX570 petrol variant is expected to be priced slightly higher. Initially, Lexus will bring all its models to India as fully imported units. Because of this, the prices of the other models are expected to be on the higher side. Toyota’s luxury vehicle unit, Lexus finally entered the Indian market on March 24. The company began its India operations with three models namely ES 300 Hybrid, RX 450 Hybrid and LX 450 D. Lexus Bengaluru is the Lexus dealer in Karnataka owned by the Popular Kuttukaran group based at Cochin apart from other Automobiles businesses. Our MD is Saju K Thomas and Our CEO is K I JoJo”.

Addressing the gathering Farookh said, “I am very happy that I am the first buyer of the luxurious car Lexus in India. The Lexus car has been launched for the first time in India and I am the first buyer of the car in the country. The car can be driven anywhere with the present road conditions. Earlier the roads were not good but now the infrastructure has been developed. Now people can drive high-end cars with pleasure in Mangaluru and Mangaluru is one of the top markets for the high-end cars”.

In a lighter note, Farookh cracked a joke and said, “Recently my brother had purchased a new Luxury car Volvo XC 90. His son went to fill petrol at the Kadri petrol pump and the Pump attendant filled Diesel instead of Petrol to the car. Hope the same situation will not repeat again.”

The keys of the Car LX 450 D were handed over to Farookh by Baba Satagopan. Later Farookh cut the cake and shared his joy of buying the first luxury car LX 450 D.
