“This car was love at first sight for me. The more I researched it, and the more I learned about it, the more comfortable I was with spending this kind of money. I have not been disappointed. I do miss the old fashioned, 'standard-looking' clock that the old Lexus' had, and I wish it had one more cup holder, but I'm over it. I don't miss the old trac-pad, which was one thing that is gone with the 2024.”
2024 Lexus LC: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The most important change for the 2024 Lexus LC is that Lexus Safety System+ 2.5 becomes standard across the lineup. This is a meaningful late-cycle update rather than a full redesign, with a new touchscreen system, more standard parking aids and a limited-run Inspiration Series.
About the 2024 Lexus LC
1st-generation LC (introduced for 2018; convertible joined for 2021), late-cycle 2024 update year with major infotainment and safety-equipment upgrades rather than a redesign.
Lexus positions the LC as its most dramatic two-door luxury car: a low, rear-drive grand touring coupe or convertible that mixes handcrafted cabin detail with an emotional driving experience. The point is not raw track-car aggression. Instead, the LC sells style, sound, comfort, and theater, whether through the LC 500’s naturally aspirated V8 or the LC 500h’s hybrid powertrain. It stands apart by making everyday drives feel special in a way many rivals chase with sharper, harder-edged tuning.
The LC 500 coupe and convertible pair dramatic styling with a 471-hp V8, while the LC 500h coupe uses a 354-hp hybrid system for smoother, more efficient performance. The limited-run LC 500 Inspiration Series adds distinctive exterior details, sharper-handling hardware, Mark Levinson audio and a head-up display.

2024 Lexus LC
(33 reviews)
“Get the 2024 LC500. The new touch screen makes a big difference. Don't wait if you want one. Time is running out on v8s.”
“The vehicle has a hood pop feature that was faulty. It went off in a situation it should have, and Lexus doesn't stand behind their products.”
