New Lexus LC Review -- Coupe, Convertible and Hybrid Offer Three Ways to Enjoy Luxury Sport Driving
The model year brings big changes to the new Lexus LC 500 coupe and its sibling, the new Lexus LC Convertible. There are new high value standards that make these cars more fun to own.
Does this luxury sports car match your expectations when it comes to style, power or technology? Get answers in this overview.
Performance
With an Active Exhaust system to add to the driving fun, the new LC 500 in Phoenix boasts 471 horsepower and 398 lb-ft of torque. Magnesium paddle shifters offer manual control of the Direct Shift 10-speed automatic transmission.
This 5.0-liter V8 engine allows these luxury coupes to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in just 4.4 seconds. The LC convertible in Phoenix achieves this sprint in 4.6 seconds.
Lexus Driving Signature elements ensure a connected driving experience, featuring linear steering response and effectiveness in high cornering G ranges. The nimble and responsive luxury sports coupe enhances the driver's connection to the road. Whether you are heading out to a resort in California or just going to your favorite Scottsdale spa, you’ll enjoy the ride behind the wheel of the new LC 500 in Phoenix.
Utility
While the LC coupe and convertible aren’t focused on utility, they are focused on maximizing their sport credentials in every way. For instance, the coupe has a floating roof appearance with its large greenhouse and blacked-out rear pillars.
If you walk toward the LC with the key in your pocket, the door handles will sense your approach and move into place. They are back-lit to ensure its easy to find them at night.
A favorite addition is a carbon fiber roof. This reduces the car’s weight and improves the ratio of horsepower-per-pound.
If you like the convertible, you’ll appreciate the roof’s four-layer construction. To keep the air still and quiet around the driver, there’s a wind deflector to complement the wind screen. Active noise control helps manage the roar of the road whether the top is up or down.
Interior
On the one hand, the cabin exudes the sporty atmosphere conjured up by its exterior. Athletic features include aluminum pedals, a specially tailored steering wheel, well-bolstered seats, and performance-inspired instrumentation. Ready for action, the interior has well-padded doors, center console, armrests and other touch points.
On the other hand, every new Lexus LC interior represents a designer’s vision rendered by Takumi craftsmanship. A variety of upholstery colors are offered in semi-aniline leather. This may be offset by suede-like Alcantara, adding softness in the form of seat inserts, door panels, and the headliner.
Whether coupe or convertible, these luxury cars are available for a Bespoke Build with rich color options. All the comforts are present, including power-adjustable seats that may be power-ventilated to take the edge off our hot summers. A rear seat permits two more adults to ride along in style.
A three-year trial of Remote Connect allows you to program your LC to start up and cool off the cabin. Dual-zone automatic climate controls are enhanced by the available climate concierge.
The convertible has a special heating system to assist with top-down driving in chilly weather. Allowing you to adjust to weather on the go, the convertible top can go up or down in 15 seconds at speeds under 30 mph.

Technology
The updated Lexus LC boasts advanced tech features and new devices, including a 12.3-inch touchscreen and a 12-speaker audio system. The Dash technology now incorporates Integrated Streaming, allowing users to display their Apple Music or Amazon Music subscriptions on the screen menu.
Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard as is HD Radio. For more entertainment, LC owners may get a subscription to satellite radio or a WiFi hotspot.
Lexus offers a 3-year trial of Drive Connect, providing unlimited access to the 24/7 live-agent Destination Assist and Cloud Navigation. This gives the owner access to up-to-date maps and traffic information.
The Intelligent Assistant, activated with "Hey Lexus," facilitates easy interaction with the luxury car's infotainment system, allowing users to find points of interest using Google search. If you are thinking about trading up, you can find competitive financing for your luxury car purchase at Earnhardt Lexus.
Safety
More than ten standards are included, complements of the Lexus Safety System 2.5. Special to the brand, a risk avoidance emergency steer assist and corresponding autobrake can respond to dangers from oncoming vehicles during left turns.
This enhances the forward collision warning system with its own autobrake function and its ability to detect and react to pedestrians in the road. Now capable of detecting the road edge as well as the white lines, lane keeping assistance adds to the lane departure warning.
Reducing driver responsibility and stress, the LC offers a combination of Dynamic Radar Cruise Control, lane tracing assist and road sign assist. Assisting with slow maneuvers, it has Intuitive Park Assist to take over the parking burden and a panoramic view monitor to help ensure the driver sees every obstacle.
With your WiFi subscription, you can take advantage of the Safety Connect features. This includes an SOS button for emergencies or roadside assistance. It also allows the system to locate the car if it detects an accident or if you report the vehicle has been stolen.
