No compromise between sport and luxury
Lexus is notorious for building impeccable luxurious vehicles, but it also understands what it takes to make a great performance car. The 2023 Lexus LC 500 puts the brand squarely in the mix with other performance luxury coupes with its stunning combination of sport and luxury. This model carefully combines an upscale cabin, tons of features, and a potent powertrain to strike this balance. Its highlights include an incredible design inside and out, miles of upscale interior materials, and pinpoint handling. On top of this, it’s all fueled by a 5.0L V8 engine with 471 hp.

5 reasons to buy the 2023 Lexus LC 500
1. Healthy supply of power
The 2023 Lexus LC 500 will satisfy nearly all your needs in a luxury sports coupe and convertible. Its 5.0L V8 pounds out 471 hp and 398 lb-ft and ships it through a fast-shifting 10-speed automatic transmission and then out to the rear wheels. This results in a 4.4-second zero-to-60 mph acceleration time in its coupe variant and 4.6 seconds as a convertible. On top of being quick, this performance model includes adaptive shocks and massive staggered wheels to keep it planted in the corners.
2. Your choice of body styles
The Lexus LC 500 not only has a fair share of options and packages to dress it up, but it also has two body styles you can pick from. The base coupe model would be a great choice if you enjoy clean lines. However, if you’ve always wanted to have the wind whipping through your hair, the 2023 LC 500 convertible is a great choice. Plus, unlike many convertibles, the LC 500 convertible doesn’t have noticeably more wind noise than the coupe.
3. Packed with features
You probably expect a certain level of amenities in your luxury car. The 2023 Lexus LC 500 delivers in this area with a massive list of high-end standard equipment. On this list, you’ll find a 12-speaker audio system, SiriusXMⓇ, Bluetooth® connectivity with streaming audio, a 10.3-inch infotainment screen, Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ integration, navigation, an eight-inch digital instrument panel, and more. If you need more premium features, look for the available Mark Levinson 13-speaker, 915-watt audio system.
4. Plenty of driver-assist features
Driver-assist equipment is a big part of Lexus’ lineup, and the 2023 LC 500 has plenty to keep your commute comfortable. The 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. You can also take it a step further with several options, including blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert and parking assist.
5. A premium interior
Once you sit in the 2023 Lexus LC 500, it’s abundantly clear this is one sports car that’s ready to satisfy your more discerning side. Its cabin is covered in leather, synthetic leather, and soft-touch materials that encapsulate you in luxury. Not enough for you? The LC 500 is happy to deliver even more of an upscale feel with its available heated and ventilated seats, an Alcantara® headliner, semi-aniline leather, and other luxurious options.
