2024 LC Selector
FAST FACTS
MotorDonkey's proprietary vehicle data identifies every significant version of each model so that you can compare and decide. There's only one standalone version of the 2024 Lexus LC Hybrid, and here it is, along with our expert analysis and recommendations.
The hybrid-powered LC 500h looks almost as quick as the V8-powered LC 500 on paper, but in the real world the 500h feels significantly slower. Part of that is down to the slurry responses of the hybrid-specific transmission; another factor is the tendency of that transmission to hold the engine speed constant during acceleration like a CVT. In any case, the LC 500h is ultimately one of those cars that looks sportier than it is — kind of like the BMW i8 — although the fuel economy is undeniably impressive.
