What’s it like to drive?
Reviewer's opinion
Driving the LC500 Convertible with the roof up or down is an experience. It's perfectly capable of cruising along the boulevard at pedestrian paces while you take in the world or you can flip it over into sport mode and revel in the throttle response and well-weighted steering as it begs for you to bury the throttle in the lush carpet and chase the setting sun.

Interior
What is the Lexus LC like inside?
Utilizing some of the finest materials and design language, the interior of the LC range can only be described as the epitome of luxury. While the quilted sports seats provide ample support during spirited driving, it is also extremely comfortable in everyday driving conditions. In front of the driver there features a digital instrument cluster while both passengers gain access to an update and large infotainment screen.
Style
The Lexus LC range offers impeccable styling with a mixture of long flowing shapes and sharp character lines. The Lexus designers laboured over the design of both derivatives. Taking all the proportions into consideration, especially the rake of the rear window and roof lines on the cabriolet, the LC range creates a signature look for itself and is destined to age quite well.
