byJosh Jacquot^{Correspondent
Josh Jacquot is an automotive journalist at Edmunds.}

Pros

Extraordinary cabin design and interior materials
Impressive fuel economy for a sporty grand-touring coupe
Manages to be both fun and comfortable
Generous list of standard features

Cons

Limited trunk and interior storage space
All-wheel drive isn't offered
Slow acceleration compared to other luxury two-doors

What's new

New infotainment system with 12.3-inch touchscreen
Part of the first LC generation introduced for 2018

Overview

The Lexus LC is a stunning grand tourer available as a coupe, convertible and hybrid. As the brand's flagship, the LC leans strongly into the luxury side of the sport/luxury spectrum with a rich interior design, a soft but controlled ride, and a heavily sculpted body. The cabin is a place where everything is nice to touch, though you might feel guilty doing so. Nothing inside the LC feels mass-produced. There's a sense of specialness and attention to detail here that's not present even in most Lexus models. And the only sound allowed to penetrate the interior is the muted wail of the 5.0-liter V8 (unless you opt for the hybrid). Every version of the LC is made for covering miles at high speed in tranquility and comfort. Few cars do it better.

Cost to Drive^{Cost to drive estimates for the 2024 Lexus LC 500h 2dr Coupe (3.5L 6cyl gas/electric hybrid CVT) and comparison vehicles are based on 15,000 miles per year (with a mix of 55% city and 45% highway driving) and energy estimates of $4.45 per gallon for premium unleaded in Ohio.}

Edmunds spotlight: New infotainment brings a much-needed update

The changes to the Lexus LC for 2024 are minor but meaningful. The biggest change, an updated infotainment system, makes a significant difference in the usability and look of LC's interior. The outgoing trackpad interface felt dated when it debuted about a decade ago and was heavily out of place in the otherwise ultra-modern LC. The new system uses a 12.3-inch touchscreen and shares control logic with other Lexus models. It is also much easier to use and includes a number of new features, such as over-the-air updates, a voice assistant, and additional connectivity options for emergencies and roadside assistance.

Competitors to consider

The truth is the Lexus LC really only has one direct competitor that aligns with its mission, size and cost: the BMW 8 Series. But if you shop beyond the sport-luxury coupe segment cars like the luxury-focused Mercedes-Benz AMG SL convertibles and the more performance-focused Porsche 911 emerge as alternatives. Even the Chevrolet Corvette, which is a capable grand tourer as well, might be considered.

Which LC does Edmunds recommend?

Because there are no trims to choose from among the LC models, you might consider the Bespoke Build option, which allows custom combinations of paint colors, interior trim, wheels, and soft-top color on the convertible.

Lexus LC models

The 2024 Lexus LC is offered as a coupe and convertible in a single trim that comes with ample standard equipment. The LC is a 2+2, which means it has rear seats but they are too small for adults. A 471-horsepower 5.0-liter V8 powers both body styles through a 10-speed automatic transmission. A 354-hp hybrid coupe fitted with a 3.5-liter V6 and two electric motors is also available. It uses a continuously variable transmission paired with a four-speed automatic. Together they simulate a 10-speed automatic. All LCs are rear-wheel-drive. Feature highlights include:

2024 Lexus LC First Impressions

byEdmunds

•6/15/2023

What is the LC?

The Lexus LC is the brand's flagship grand tourer/sports car, and it's arguably one of the most aesthetically pleasing cars on sale today. Everything about it feels special; even door handles are little works of art. And that's before you even mention the LC 500's sing-song 5.0-liter naturally aspirated V8. But nothing is perfect, and the LC's major flaw has been Lexus' truly awful trackpad-style infotainment controller — until now, that is. Lexus has, at long, long last, removed its genuinely awful trackpad infotainment system, leaving us with what might now officially be a perfect grand-touring car. The system is now just a good ol' 12.3-inch touchscreen — the same that you'll find in some of the brand's newer efforts like the RZ or the recently redesigned RX.

To fit the new, blissfully usable screen, Lexus did subtly redesign the dash of the LC 500, LC 500h hybrid and LC 500 convertible. You'll need a side-by-side comparison to notice, and frankly the new setup looks like it could have been that way all along. There are some technical updates within this new screen as well. The Lexus Interface software now has over-the-air update compatibility and a new voice assistant.

Another aspect of the LC that's new for 2024 are the colors. The LC has a fantastic range of standard hues on offer already, with Ultrasonic Blue Mica 2.0 and Copper Crest joining the lineup. On top of this is Lexus' continuing Bespoke Build program. Bespoke Build is Lexus' attempt at fleshing out some customization options for customers' builds, including a wider range of colors and add-ons like different wheels, a carbon-fiber roof, and different colors for the convertible's soft top and interior where applicable.

Mechanically, Lexus hasn't made any real updates. The LC 500h hybrid uses a 354-horsepower V6, with the LC 500 coupe and 'vert still making use of their excellent 471-horsepower V8 engine.

Edmunds says

We're excited about the LC 500's updates, including the banishment of the brand's terrible touchpad infotainment. It should help the LC be a more compelling pick alongside other luxury coupes or convertibles such as the BMW 8 Series and Mercedes SL.
