2023 Lexus LC Reviews, Pricing & Specs
Write a review
The 2023 Lexus LC is a stunning luxury sports car. Available as a coupe or a convertible, the LC has a supercar presence for a fraction of the price.
What’s New for the 2023 Lexus LC
The Lexus LC was first introduced in 2018, and it carries over into 2023 with minimal changes. Some updates to the infotainment system (one of the LC’s few drawbacks) are expected for the 2024 model year.
Design
The LC has dramatic styling that makes it look like it's at speed even when parked. The LC convertible features a cloth top that takes 15 seconds to open and 16 seconds to close, and which can be opened or closed at speeds up to 31 mph. The LC Coupe is available with a carbon fiber roof.
Powertrain
The 2023 LC 500 comes equipped with a naturally aspirated 5.0-liter V8 engine which produces 471 horsepower and 398 pound-feet of torque. Power is routed to the rear wheels through a 10-speed automatic transmission. The LC 500 (coupe) can sprint from zero to 60 mph in 4.4 seconds, and the convertible does it in 4.6 seconds. The LC has a top speed of 168 mph. Handling can be enhanced with an available Torsen limited-slip rear differential and a Yamaha rear damper.
The 2023 LC Coupe returns fuel economy of 16 mpg city, 25 highway, and 19 combined, while the 2023 LC Convertible returns 15 mpg city, 25 highway, and 18 combined. Both versions of the LC require premium fuel.
Interior
Standard equipment on the 2023 Lexus LC includes leather upholstery, power-adjustable front seats, heated and ventilated front seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, remote keyless entry, and a panoramic glass roof (for the coupe). Available interior features include a heated steering wheel, suede headliner, and upgraded semi-aniline leather upholstery.
The LC does have small rear seats that can be used in a pinch. The LC Coupe has just 5.4 cubic feet of trunk space, and the Convertible has even less, at 3.4 cubic feet.
Technology
The LC features a 10.3-inch infotainment display. Rather than a touch screen, it’s operated via a remote in the center console. Despite its lack of touch control, this infotainment system provides support for Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Amazon Alexa. The LC also comes with a 12-speaker premium stereo, a Wi-Fi hotspot, and a pair of USB ports. It’s available with a 13-speaker Mark Levinson premium stereo system as well.
Safety
The Lexus LC comes standard with forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, pedestrian detection, adaptive cruise control, automatic high beams, lane-departure warning, blind-spot monitoring, and rear cross-traffic alert. A number of the available options packages add front and rear parking sensors, reverse collision warning, and reverse automatic emergency braking.
Pricing
At the time of this writing, the 2023 Lexus LC has a starting MSRP of $94,450 for the LC 500 Coupe. The LC 500 Convertible starts at $102,500. The 2023 Lexus LC is backed by a six-year/70,000-mile powertrain warranty.
