2025 Lexus LC: What's New, Specs & Features

Last updated August 4, 2026

The key change for the 2025 Lexus LC is extra front and rear underfloor bracing on coupe models for added rigidity. Otherwise, this is a light update: the Inspiration Series is gone, while the powertrains, safety features, and touchscreen system carry over.

About the 2025 Lexus LC

1st generation LC coupe (introduced for 2018); LC 500 Convertible added for 2021. For 2025, the LC is in its late-cycle phase, one year after the 2024 infotainment and safety-equipment update.

The LC is Lexus’s flagship grand-touring two-door, sold to buyers who want dramatic styling, hand-finished cabin detail, and a special-occasion driving feel more than track-first aggression. Lexus positions it as the brand’s most passionate expression, blending comfort, craftsmanship, rear-drive balance, and emotional design. Against sharper but colder rivals, the LC stands out for its visual drama, relaxed road manners, and in LC 500 form, one of the last naturally aspirated V8 experiences in a luxury coupe.

The LC 500 remains the V8-focused grand tourer, sold as a coupe or convertible with a 471-hp 5.0-liter engine and a 10-speed automatic transmission. The LC 500h coupe takes a smoother, efficiency-minded approach with its 354-hp hybrid system. Both have a 12.3-inch touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, heated and ventilated front seats, and a broad set of driver-assistance features.
