2024 Lexus LC
Starting at $
Highs Seductive styling, standard V-8 sounds fantastic, comfortable seats.
Lows Not as sporty as it looks, soft brake pedal feel, optional hybrid lacks the emotive sound of the V-8.
Verdict The LC’s exotic looks and luxurious cabin make it a desirable grand-touring two-door we’d happily have on a road trip.
Overview
Don’t let the 2024 Lexus LC’s striking styling fool you, it’s less sports car and more luxury car—but one we’d gladly tap for a cross-country tour. Performance is more muted than rivals such as the BMW M8 and the Porsche 911 Turbo, but the LC was made for cruising, not apex hunting. Its slinky sheetmetal turns heads and gives the LC a look that’s as expensive as it is, and inside its two-seat cockpit is both comfortable for long drives and easy to live with day-to-day. A V-8 engine is standard and provides a spine-tingling soundtrack; a V-6 hybrid setup is also available for those who want to maximize fuel economy and driving range. Both coupe and convertible bodystyles are offered and Lexus provides plenty of customization options via the Bespoke Build program, so view that as a challenge to put together a tasteful and timeless look that will continue to turn heads for years to come.
What’s New for 2024?
This year, Lexus has finally upgraded the LC’s infotainment system with a new touchscreen running the company’s latest software interface. All models now come with parking sensors and 21-inch wheels as standard and there are two new colors available too: Ultrasonic Blue Mica 2.0 and Copper Crest. A limited edition Inspiration Series model will be offered on both the LC500 coupe and LC500 convertible. The package adds more than just racy appearance items and also includes a limited-slip differential and performance dampers in the rear suspension. Only 125 will be sold in total, all of them painted Polar Surge Satin white with a blue leather interior. More options through the Lexus Bespoke Build program allow for more customization, including a carbon-fiber roof panel on the coupe and different colors for the convertible model’s top.

The 2024 Lexus LC starts at $98,850 and goes up to $106,350. The base trim level is the LC500 coupe, but there’s also an LC500h hybrid and an LC500 convertible offered. We prefer the nonhybrid LC500 model over the heavier and pricier LC500h hybrid. We also recommend the Touring package, which inc
ludes semi-aniline leather upholstery, a faux-suede headliner, a 13-speaker Mark Levinson stereo system, parking sensors, a windshield wiper de-icing feature, and a heated steering wheel. The question now becomes whether to stick with the coupe or go for the convertible. The answer to that lies in your own personal preference because we can see the appeal of both.
