TORONTO, ONTARIO – NOVEMBER 14^th, 2022 – High performance and high style combine in the Lexus LC series – the flagship coupes and convertibles that make every moment exhilarating. New this year, Lexus now offers Guests the Bespoke Build for the self-charging hybrid electric LC 500h.

“The LC series is daring in conception, powerful in performance, and luxuriously advanced,” said Martin Gilbert, Director of Lexus Canada. “We’re thrilled to offer our guests a selection of breathtaking models, all designed to deliver pure sensory exhilaration.” 

The LC series features the dynamic styling and exquisite craftsmanship that a flagship automobile demands. These include a long wheelbase, compact front and rear overhangs, a notably low hood, an athletic profile set off by a sweeping roofline, sensual curves, muscular wheel arches, and a wind-shearing silhouette.

Inside, the 2+2 cabin is designed for driving pleasure and luxurious comfort. Driver and passengers are surrounded by a relaxing environment that combines elegance and sophistication, reflecting Lexus Takumi craftsmanship in every line, curve, and stitch. The cockpit is an invitation to high-spirited driving, with all switches and controls thoughtfully placed at one’s fingertips, while information displays are arranged to minimize eye movement and keep the driver’s focus on the road.

The LC 500 Convertible lets in the sky with an exclusive four-layer lightweight soft top that is a marvel of engineering. Crafted to maintain the LC Convertible’s aerodynamic and emotionally-charged design, the soft top features fabric carefully selected and manufactured to ensure optimal tension – both to eliminate wrinkling and improve sound insulation. This top is capable of opening or closing in just 15 seconds at speeds up to 50 km/h. An animated display on the instrument panel lets the driver monitor its progress, and its innovative folding system enables the roof to be stored in an exceptionally small space, so it doesn’t intrude on luggage capacity.

Take thrilling to the razor’s edge, with a commanding blend of raw power, sharp performance, and remarkable balance that lets guests perfectly hit every apex and straightaway with unlimited confidence. For the LC series, Lexus designers and engineers worked in harmony to ensure every component contributes to LC’s inspired performance capabilities. LC’s dynamic performance starts with a rear-wheel-drive platform, an ultra-low centre of gravity, and near perfect 52/48 front/rear weight distribution. It’s then offered in two powertrain options:

• The LC 500 and LC 500 Convertible feature a 471 peak-horsepower 5.0L naturally aspirated V8 paired with a 10-speed direct shift automatic.


• The LC 500h features a 354 net system horsepower Lexus self-charging hybrid electric powertrain built around a 3.5L V6 and multistage continuously variable transmission.

All models feature Lexus Navigation with Remote, a powerful yet intuitive bundle of connectivity technologies – fully compatible with both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and featuring Remote Connect, Safety Connect, Service Connect, and Destination Assist. Other technology features include a 10.3” display screen, Lexus App connectivity, Bluetooth connectivity, and Sirius XM Satellite Radio integration.

As a Lexus, every LC series model also features an impressive package of advanced safety technologies – including Lexus Safety System +, a backup camera, the Blind Spot Monitor system with Rear Cross Traffic Alert, eight airbags, and a tire pressure monitoring system.
