The Lexus LC has been around since 2017 without any significant updates, but it continues to stand out as one of the few genuinely beautiful sports cars still available for purchase. For the 2025 model year, Lexus has introduced a series of subtle updates to both the Coupe and Convertible models, ensuring the LC stays competitive. The modifications start with the LC 500 and LC 500h Coupe. Both variants now come standard with additional front and rear underfloor braces to increase rigidity, which should have a positive effect on the car’s handling. Lexus has also added a new color option known as Iridium, meaning the LC is now offered in nine exterior colors: Ultrasonic Blue, Mica 2.0, Copper Crest, Cavier, Cloudburst Gray, Iridium, Ultra White, Infrared, Flare Yellow, and Nori Green Pearl.
Some minor tweaks have been made to the
cabin. For example, the passenger seat panels are now trimmed in Alcantara, and
carbon fiber scuff plates can be added to LC 500h models with the available Sport
Package. Optional interior color schemes include Black, Toasted Caramel, and
Rioja Red. Like the Coupe, the updated LC 500 can also be finished in Iridium
and be configured through the Bespoke Build program. This allows owners of
Coupe and Convertible models to customize their vehicles with a host of special
elements, including a carbon fiber roof, 21-inch forged wheels finished in
black, dark chrome trim, and a neck heater. The Bespoke Build package also adds
a White and Blue interior option. The Convertible can also be optioned with
either a Red or Blue soft top through the Bespoke Build package.
All flagship LC 500 Coupe and Convertible
models use the brand’s beloved 5.0-liter naturally-aspirated V8. As with
previous model years, this engine continues to deliver 471 hp at 7,100 rpm and 540 Nm of torque at 4,800 rpm and is coupled to a ten-speed
automatic transmission as standard. The LC 500h retains its 3.5-liter V6
working alongside an electric motor to deliver 354 hp.
Pricing for the updated 2025 Lexus LC
range starts at US$ 100,425 for the LC 500, US$ 103,575 for the LC 500h, and US$ 107,625
for the Convertible. These MSRPs include a US$ 1,175 delivery, processing, and
handling fee.
