Trim and Powertrain
The 2025 LC 500 is offered in a single, fully loaded trim and powered by a naturally aspirated 5.0-liter V8 producing 471 horsepower. A ten-speed automatic transmission manages power to the rear wheels. The EPA has determined its fuel efficiency ratings to be 16 mpg in the city and 24 mpg on the highway.
Standard Features and Option Packages
The LC 500’s mechanical equipment list shows an adaptive variable suspension, selectable drive modes, aluminum pedals, magnesium paddle shifters, an active sport exhaust, and performance-inspired instrumentation. Some of its other prominent amenities include leather seating surfaces, a glass roof with a sunshade, eight-way-power-adjustable heated and ventilated front seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, proximity keyless access with push-button ignition, LED exterior lighting, USB ports, and 21-inch staggered-width alloy wheels.
Option groupings are numerous for the 2025 LC 500, starting with the All-Weather Package (heated steering wheel and windshield wiper de-icer) and the Touring Package (semi-aniline leather, an Alcantara headliner, enhanced infotainment features, and the contents of the All-Weather Package). The Sport Package will add Alcantara-trimmed front and rear sport seats, rear performance dampers, a Torsen limited-slip differential, and performance brake pads. The Dynamic Handling Package builds on the Sport Package with active rear steering, variable gear-ratio steering, a speed-activated rear wing, an Alcantara headliner, a carbon-fiber roof, and carbon-fiber scuff plates.
The available Lexus Bespoke Build program offers a unique personalization approach, letting buyers select elements like wheel designs and features typically bundled in packages, such as sport seats, a carbon-fiber roof, and a speed-activated rear wing. An exclusive white and blue interior is offered only to Bespoke Build clients. Every LC 500 Bespoke Build also comes with an exclusive interior badge and a certificate of authenticity printed on Japanese washi paper and signed and stamped by the LC chief engineer.
