2019 Lexus LC 500 review

1. A true performer 

The 2019 Lexus LC 500 will meet all your demands for a luxury sports coupe. Its standard 5.0L V8 powerplant delivers 471 hp and 398 lb-ft of torque through a 10-speed automatic transmission and out to the rear wheels. This delivers respectable straight-line speed, as it crests 60 mph in just 4.4 seconds. It also features adaptive shocks and huge staggered wheels to help it remain firmly planted in the corners.  

2. Surprisingly comfortable 

The 2019 LC 500 handles sweeping back roads easily, thanks to its sport-tuned suspension, but it also delivers lots of balance with a compliant ride. Lexus carefully tuned its suspension to absorb bumps and keep road noise minimal. This ensures you’ll be plenty comfortable during your daily commute or when heading out on a road trip.  

3. Fully loaded 

Lexus knows you have certain expectations in a luxury car. The luxury automaker lives up to its name and your expectations by including a long list of premium standard features in the 2019 LC 500. This list includes a 12-speaker audio system, SirusXM^®, Bluetooth^® connectivity with streaming audio, a 10.3-inch infotainment screen, an eight-inch digital instrument panel, and more. You should also look out for the available Mark Levinson 13-speaker audio system and head-up display.  

4. Standard driver-assist features 

The 2019 LC 500 comes standard with full-speed adaptive cruise control, active lane control, forward-collision warnings, automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, automatic high-beam headlights, and a rearview camera. If you want more driver-assist features, you can opt for blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert and parking assist. While these features don’t replace attentive driving, they can ease your everyday commute.  

5. Upscale interior 

As you slip into the 2019 Lexus LC 500, it’s crystal clear this car aims to please you with tons of premium materials. Inside the LC 500, you’ll be enveloped by leather, synthetic leather, and soft-touch materials. You’ll also find tasteful satin-metallic accents throughout and aluminum pedals to break things up a bit. If you still need more, you can add available heated and ventilated seats, an Alcantara headliner, and other luxurious options to dress up this already premium sports coupe further.
