Lexus LC500h Hybrid GT (ENG) - Test Drive and Review 

Beautiful looking car. Just bought one and I’m very satisfied with performances which are sufficient for me. Same 0-100 as my corvette C5. Loves it

I took the hybrid version out for a test drive yesterday. I enjoyed the car because it was brisk enough for motorway cruising and effortlessly flew along at 80+. Despite the massive wheels the ride didn't feel compromised and it felt comfortable enough with the adaptive ride controls. I really liked the interior design, though the controls mounted on the binnacle looked out of place, and realistically, nobody is going to be sitting in the back. Though perhaps not to everyone's taste, I love the design, it looks fantastic and will seriously consider buying one.

very fair review. While most whinge about the hybrid/CVT, you show that it provides a great economy / acceleration ratio.

Try to take this as "constructive criticism". The infotainment is fantastic for adults who understand that when you own a complex machine, you really should read the Owner's Manual to learn all about the features. Lexus even provided the manual within the infotainment system. The "trackpad" is only there so you don't have to use it. It's simply an input device to load your personal preferences. Once that is accomplished, you learn VOICE COMMAND and you'll (almost) never have to use the trackpad again. Adults assume the world-class designers and engineers at Lexus wanted their customers to have the finest car in production today and that's what they did. But, our job, as customers and owners, is to read the Owner's Manual. When you consider it takes just a few hours and then you're all set for years of motoring pleasure, it's well worth the time. So, next time you get to review the best car in the entire world, why not behave like a real adult and do your job? Don't assume YOU are smarter than everyone else. Assume everyone else knows what they are doing and if something goes wrong, it's probably you that's at fault.

That engine sound accelerating wow, sexy!

loved the interior layout. can I have that in my Duster. lol

I wish I could understand why people have such issues with fake exhaust pipes? They just don’t bother me.

Z wyglądu to pierwszy Lexus, który może się podobać, jednak dźwięk wyjącego odkurzacza pasuje tu jak pięść do oka.

Mixed feelings on the car, but how about that new year's eve party!

I saw one earlier today. Very nice

Fantastic car

I wonder why they don’t just put in the 10gear gearbox they put in the v8 model. As a Rx400h I am a huge fan of Lexus. It has been extremely reliable, as good as 11 years and 163.000km ago when my I bought it. I have since driven both rx450h and I think that there hasn’t been much involvement in the hybrid system. Still more or less the same horsepower, still the same gearbox, doesn’t justify the price of entry for upgrading. Even this two step gearbox seems kind of annoying..

I feel the same way.

Inside cameras when you driving are not FHD, I'm Watching in 1080p and it hurt my eyes.

yeah!!!

Why the hell does every reviewer think the LC 500 is a race car? It isn't and never was intended to be. It's plenty fast but it's really a LUXURIOUS, VERY LUXURIOUS LUXURY GT CAR. It's a beautiful machine, inside and out with excellent performance as a bonus. It's not a race car. I'm betting there isn't one reviewer who would be happy if this LUXURY CAR did 0-60 in under 3 seconds. They would all say there was room for improvement. Folks, you can't have everything. No such car exists. You can have certain specific things but there are unintended consequences. Buy that supercar that does 0-60 in 1.8 seconds and you'll spend all of your money on repairs. Almost every other car suffers from cheap parts and that's where it gets expensive. The LC 500 won't leave you stranded by the side of the road. Most other high dollar cars will...and more than once. If 0-60 in 4.4 or 4.7 isn't fast enough for you, you don't belong on the public roads with other motorists trying to get from Point A. to Point B. safely. You're a nutjob who should be driving on a race track. Ignore most of the reviewers of the LC 500 and simply go test drive one yourself. Then, and only then, will you understand what a fabulous car this really is.

The best interior in the industry! Too bad they keep using horrible infotainment.

Shit, it got romantic.

Great looking thing, but impractical. I'll stick with my Fiat Panda!!!

They bother with rear seats because a car with only 2 seats is more expensive to tax in the US. Kinda funny.

Wrong car for this drivetrain, IMO. Sounds awful under hard acceleration. There are diesels that sound better. And if just a cruiser for ageing poseurs, why is the ride so harsh?! Get the V8 or get another car.

Liked the review not so much the car...

Japanese manufacturers can't do efficiency RIP XD

streached Toyota CH-R........

Czemu nie mówisz po polsku?

What a pointless car. And what a dull review. You talk about car which costs 100k+ and half of your review you talk about fuel consumption. On the other hand you prove that all the hybrids use the same amount of fuel as a regular cars. What is the point of paying extra for a technology which doesn't work and even more spoils the ride? You buy a GT car but ride a Prius. And regarding design - yes, when you look at it maybe to some it is nice, but once you take your eyes off it - you immediately forget about it. Like most Toyota designs this Lexus looks already old.
