Trim and Powertrain
The 2025 LC 500h is available in a single, highly equipped trim featuring a 3.5-liter V6 hybrid powerplant that produces 354 net horsepower. The innovative gas-electric union incorporates dual electric motors (one for power generation and the other to spin the rear wheels) and a dual-function transmission that’s part continuously variable transmission (CVT) and part four-speed automatic. This combination gearbox maximizes efficiency with an EPA-estimated 26 mpg in the city and 33 mpg on the highway – all without sacrificing performance.
Standard Features and Options
The LC 500h takes a driver-centric approach with an adaptive variable suspension, an active sport exhaust, selectable drive modes (with Sport S/S+ positions), aluminum pedals, magnesium paddle shifters, performance-inspired instrumentation, and 21-inch staggered-width alloy wheels. On the luxury side, the LC 500h comes with leather upholstery, a glass roof with a sunshade, eight-way-power-adjustable heated and ventilated front seats, LED exterior lighting, dual-zone automatic climate control, proximity keyless entry, push-button start, and several USB ports.
Lexus offers numerous options to help buyers personalize the LC 500h further. The Sport Package adds Alcantara-trimmed front and rear sport seats, rear performance dampers, a Torsen limited-slip differential, and performance brake pads. The Dynamic Handling Package starts with the Sport Package and adds active rear steering, variable gear-ratio steering, a speed-activated rear wing, an Alcantara headliner, a carbon-fiber roof, and carbon-fiber scuff plates. Meanwhile, the All-Weather Package brings a heated steering wheel and a windshield wiper de-icer. The Touring Package expands on the All-Weather Package with semi-aniline leather upholstery, an Alcantara headliner, and upgraded infotainment technology (see the final section).
The ultimate LC 500h is available through the Lexus Bespoke Build program, which offers a customized approach to ordering your vehicle. Buyers can opt for individual amenities, such as sport seats, a carbon-fiber roof, and a speed-activated rear wing, that are otherwise grouped within optional packages. Lexus also offers a striking and exclusive White and Blue interior package through this special program. In addition to an exclusive cabin badge, every Bespoke Build vehicle includes a certificate of authenticity printed on Japanese washi paper and signed and stamped by the LC chief engineer.
Advanced Driver Aids and Safety Technology
The LC 500h comes standard with Lexus Safety System+ 2.5, consisting of a pre-collision system with pedestrian detection, lane departure alert with steering assist, adaptive cruise control with lane-tracing assist, road sign recognition, and automatic high beams. Blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, a surround-view monitor, and parking sensors complete the roster of driver-assist technologies. This model’s supplemental safety equipment includes eight airbags, anti-lock brakes, stability control, traction control, and a rearview monitor with dynamic guidelines.
Infotainment and Connectivity
Infotainment is based around a 12.3-inch touchscreen enhanced with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, Bluetooth, and SiriusXM radio. The system incorporates access to a Wi-Fi hotspot and Lexus connected services (cloud-based navigation, emergency assistance, vehicle monitoring, and connectivity with the Lexus app). A 12-speaker audio system is standard, although the optional Touring Package contains an upgrade to a 13-speaker Mark Levinson unit.
