2024 Lexus LC review, price and specs

$98,850

LC500h coupe

$102,150

LC500 Convertible

$106,350

We prefer the non-hybrid LC500 model to the heavier and more expensive LC500h hybrid. We also recommend the Touring Package, which includes semi-aniline leather upholstery, a faux suede headliner, a 13-speaker Mark Levinson stereo system, parking sensors, windshield wiper anti-icing and a heated steering wheel. The question here is whether to stick with the coupe or go for the convertible. The answer lies in your own taste, as you can see the appeal of both.

engine, transmission and performance

beating heart Standard LC500 is Lexus’ high-performance 5.0-liter V-8 engine that develops 471 horsepower and 398 lb-ft of torque. His quick-shifting yet smooth 10-speed automatic combined with his transmission alone produces a glorious internal combustion rock’n roll that’s as pleasing to the ear as the rest of the LC is to the eye. Another powertrain on offer is the LC500h‘s 354-horsepower gas-electric drivetrain combines a 3.5-liter V-6, a pair of electric motors, a 1.1 kWh lithium-ion battery, and a proprietary continuously variable transmission (CVT) that somewhat mimics its behavior. 10 speed automatic. The Lexus’ handling has minimal body roll and good balance, and the ride is excellent considering the massive 21-inch wheels our test car was fitted with. The variable steering and adaptive rear-wheel steering systems included in the Performance Package significantly improve the LC’s rudder agility and overall vehicle responsiveness. Still, the standard chassis setup fits better into the car’s GT compartments and feels more natural without interfering with the LC’s tactile feel. We recommend saving your money and sticking with the base chassis. The LC’s anchor is provided by a firm progressive brake pedal and large, fade-free brakes on each wheel.

Gas mileage and real-world MPG

The LC500 looks more like a three-row SUV than a sports car and is hundreds of pounds heavier than its main competitor, so the EPA’s estimates aren’t all that impressive. Even though the LC500h is even heavier than its siblings, being a hybrid gives it far more favorable figures, especially in urban areas where the electric assist works. The LC500 outperformed highway estimates by 4 mpg in our tests (29 mpg measured), and the LC500h beats the 34 mpg figure by 30 mpg (typically hybrids do better on interstates). it will be). Two transcontinental trips were mostly easy. For more information on LC gas mileage, please visit: EPA website.

Interior, comfort, load capacity

The interior of the Lexus LC500 is a special place with a great driving position, rich materials, beautiful craftsmanship, excellent front seats and lots of technology. Some of the ergonomics can be tricky in practice, but the overall vibe lends itself to the look of LC’s concept car. The fit and finish are excellent, and the optional sports seats are truly the king of spinal support. Certain elements take some getting used to, such as the funky elements. toyota priusKind of like an electronic shift lever. The LC’s compact trunk and non-folding rear seats limit storage to 5 cubic feet, which is just enough for two carry-on cases. The LC’s cabin is attractive, but it doesn’t have a lot of storage space for loose items. However, the center console is a good size and its lid can be adjusted to reveal a second cup holder.

Infotainment and connectivity

A 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system comes standard on all LC models and runs Lexus’ latest software interface that in our experience has proven to be snappy and easy to use. The LC’s infotainment suite comes standard with navigation and a host of apps, including an onboard Wi-Fi hotspot, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

Safety and driver assistance functions

The LC has eight airbags in a relatively compact cabin and boasts a healthy line-up of standard and available airbags. driver assistance technology. For more information on LC crash test results, see the U.S. Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the Road Safety Insurance Institute (IIHS) website. Key safety features include:

• Forward collision warning and automatic emergency braking are standard equipment
• Standard adaptive cruise control and blind spot monitoring
• Lane Departure Warning and Lane Keep Assist available

Scope of warranty and maintenance

Lexus’ warranty plan for the LC is pretty solid for a luxury coupé, with a pretty solid powertrain range for both internal combustion and hybrid components. Not the best when it comes to free scheduled maintenance.

• Limited warranty covers 4 years or 50,000 miles
• Powertrain warranty covers 6 years or 70,000 miles
• Hybrid components warranted for 8 years or 100,000 miles
• Free maintenance guaranteed for 1 year or up to 10,000 miles
