Each of the LC trims is built on Lexus's rear-wheel-drive platform at the Motomachi Plant in Toyota City, Japan. The LC 500 draws on a naturally aspirated 5.0-liter V8, while the LC 500h pairs a naturally aspirated 3.5-liter V6 with a Multi-stage Hybrid System. The LC targets buyers who want a distinctly styled, driver-oriented coupe or convertible at a price point below its European rivals.2025 Lexus LC convertible and coupeLexusWhat's New for 2025Iridium (below) joins the lineup as a new exterior color option for the 2025 LC, extending the palette to nine paint choices. More significantly, front and rear underfloor braces have been added to both the LC 500 and LC 500h, a structural update that increases body rigidity during cornering. The LC 500h's Sport Package gains a carbon-fiber scuff plate for 2025, a trim addition that was not previously offered on the hybrid.

The interior passenger seat panel now carries Alcantara trim across both coupe variants, matching the door panel treatment that was already in place.2025-2026 Lexus LC Convertible in IridiumExteriorThe LC's design is led by a broad mesh grille that spans the full width of the front fascia, flanked by triple-projector LED headlamps configured in a compact cluster. A large panoramic glass section over the roofline and blacked-out rear pillars create the appearance of a floating roof. Along with the chrome-plated moldings tracing the body lines, it’s a detail Lexus attributes to the contour of a traditional Japanese sword.Taillights take their cue from jet afterburner glow, and finishing off the look are 21-inch alloys. A carbon fiber roof and 21-inch forged alloy wheels in an all-black finish are among the Bespoke Build configuration options offered on the LC.2025 Lexus LC ConvertibleLexusView the 3 images of this gallery on the original articleInteriorThe LC's driver-focused cockpit centers on a 12.3-inch touchscreen running the Lexus Interface infotainment system, with wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and a standard Wi-Fi hotspot supporting up to five devices on AT&T's 4G network. Front seats are shaped to hold occupants through lateral loads in cornering, with a steering wheel cross-section that varies around its circumference, being thicker at grip points.AdvertisementAdvertisementLeather trim is offered in Black, Toasted Caramel, and Rioja Red, with Alcantara used across the door panels and the passenger seat panel, and the leather-wrapped gearshift lever is finished with hand stitching. Seating is configured as a 2+2, with rear legroom at 32.5 inches, which is suitable for occasional use rather than regular adult occupancy.2026 Lexus LC Convertible interiorLexusView the 3 images of this gallery on the original articlePrice Range and Best Value TrimThe 2025 Lexus LC price range spans a spread of $7,200 across the three configurations.Trim LevelTrim NameMSRPBase trim/Best ValueLC 500 Coupe$98,975Top trimLC 500 Convertible$106,1752025 Lexus LC Key SpecsPowertrain OptionsModelEngineHPTorqueTransmissionDrivetrainLC 5005.0L V8471 hp398 lb-ft10-speed automaticRWDLC 500h3.5L V6 Hybrid354 hp (system output)258 lb-ftMulti-stage CVT / 4-speed autoRWDFuel Economy (MPG)ModelCityHighwayCombinedFuel TypeLC 500 Coupe162418Premium gasolineLC 500 Convertible152518Premium gasolineLC 500h Coupe263329Premium gasolineDimensionsSpecificationLC 500 / LC 500h CoupeLC 500 ConvertibleLength187.4 in187.4 inWidth (w/o mirrors)75.6 in75.6 inHeight53.0 in53.2 inWheelbase113.0 in113.0 inGround Clearance5.2 in / 5.5 in5.2 inSeating44Cargo Volume5.4 cu-ft / 4.7 cu-ft3.4 cu-ftFuel Tank Capacity21.7 gal / 22.2 gal21.7 galWarrantyLexus warranty coverage is consistent with the brand's lineup, though complimentary maintenance covers only two scheduled visits within the first year.CoverageTermBasic Warranty4 years / 50,000 milesPowertrain Warranty6 years / 70,000 milesHybrid Components8 years / 100,000 milesComplimentary Maintenance1 year / 10,000 milesRoadside Assistance4 years / unlimited milesCorrosion/Rust Perforation6 years / unlimited milesPros and ConsPros:AdvertisementAdvertisementNaturally aspirated V8 produces 471 hpLC 500h returns 29 mpg combinedUnderfloor braces tighten structural rigidity for 2025Cons:Rear seats are impractical for passengersLimited cargo volumeNo all-wheel drive option across the lineupVerdictThe 2025 LC's core appeal remains unchanged as a rear-wheel-drive, naturally aspirated V8 grand tourer built for character more than outright performance. Still, claimed acceleration figures to 60 mph of 4.4-4.7 seconds are impressive. The new underfloor braces tighten the chassis response in a way that complements the existing suspension tuning without altering the car's overall drivability. The LC 500 Coupe represents the best entry point for buyers who want the V8 experience without the premium of the Convertible and the hybrid, while the naturally aspirated engine's character is central to what makes the car worth the money.2025 Lexus LC CoupeLexusCompetitorsBMW 8 SeriesPorsche 911Mercedes-AMG SLAston Martin VantageBentley Continental GTShop the Car MarketplaceThis story was originally published by Autoblog on May 28, 2026, where it first appeared in the Cars section.
