- 2022 Lexus LC
Starting a: $94.300
Highs Head-turning design, rich-sounding V-8, interior worthy of a halo luxury car.
Lows Doesn't move like a sports car, limited cornering prowess, optional hybrid system dulls its shine.
Verdict As a posh and stylish grand tourer, the LC excels, but it lacks the sharp handling of its rivals.
Overview
Even though it's now in its fifth model year, the 2022 Lexus LC still looks as fresh as the day it was unveiled and continues to turn heads. This grand touring two-door sits atop the Lexus lineup next to the four-door LS and plays in the same category as the BMW 8-series and the Porsche 911, although its driving demeanor is more relaxed than those icons. Two powertrains are offered-a sonorous naturally aspirated V-8 or a more efficient hybrid V-6-and the LC can be had as a coupe or a soft-top convertible. The LC's ride is smooth, and its interior is lavishly lined with fine materials and a set of all-day comfortable front seats. A pair of chairs is positioned in the back, but they're more or less decorative. So long as you aren't expecting sports-car sharpness, the LC is a stunning piece of rolling art with plenty of cachet.
What's New for 2022?
Lexus makes some suspension and steering changes for 2022 in an attempt to improve its flagship's reflexes. Also, a new Bespoke Build trim joins the lineup with some special design flourishes. The Bespoke Build is offered only in coupe form and with the nonhybrid powertrain. It includes an active rear wing, unique 20- or 21-inch wheels, a glass or carbon-fiber roof, blacked-out exterior trim, and an optional orange-colored interior. The available Sport package includes new 21-inch wheels with polished metal and gloss-black elements and revised sport seats with deeper cushions.
Pricing and Which One to Buy
LC500 convertible: $94,300
LC500 coupe: $95,700
LC500 coupe Bespoke Build: $98,275
LC500h coupe: $100,300
LC500h coupe Bespoke Build: $104,315
We prefer the nonhybrid LC500 model over the heavier and pricier LC500h hybrid. We also recommend the Touring package, which includes semi-aniline leather upholstery, a faux-suede headliner, a 13-speaker Mark Levinson stereo system, parking sensors, a windshield wiper de-icing feature, and a heated steering wheel. The question now becomes whether to stick with the coupe or go for the convertible. The answer to that lies with your own personal preference because we can see the appeal of both.
Engine, Transmission, and Performance
The beating heart of the standard LC500 is Lexus's high-performance 5.0-liter V-8, which belts out 471 horsepower and 398 pound-feet of torque. Paired only with a quick-shifting-yet-smooth 10-speed automatic transmission, it produces glorious internal-combustion rock 'n' roll that is as pleasing to the ears as the rest of the LC is to the eyes. The other powertrain offered is the LC500h's 354-hp gas-electric drivetrain, which combines a 3.5-liter V-6, a pair of electric motors, a 1.1-kWh lithium-ion battery, and a unique continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT) that somewhat mimics the action of a 10-speed automatic. There's minimal body roll and good balance to the Lexus's handling, and the ride quality is excellent considering the huge 21-inch wheels that our test cars wore. The variable-steering and adaptive rear-wheel-steering systems included with the Performance package notably enhance the quickness of the LC's helm and the car's general responsiveness. Yet the standard chassis setup is a better fit for the car's GT comportment and feels more natural without impeding the LC's tactility. We'd advise saving the money and sticking with the base chassis. Throwing out the LC's anchor comes via a firm and progressive brake pedal and big, fade-free brakes at each wheel.
Interior, Comfort, and Cargo
The Lexus LC500 interior is a special place, with a great driving position, rich materials, beautiful craftsmanship, excellent front seats, and loads of technology. Some of its ergonomics can be fussy in practice, but the overall ambience suits the LC's concept-car looks. Fit and finish are excellent and the optional sport seats are true thrones of spinal support. Certain elements require some acclimation, including the funky, Toyota Prius-like electronic shift lever. The LC's compact trunk and the non-folding rear seats limit its storage space to 5 cubic feet, which is only enough for holding two of our carry-on cases. As attractive as the LC's cabin is, there are not many cubbies for stashing loose items. The center console, however, is adequately sized, and its lid can be adjusted to reveal a second cupholder.

WHAT. A CAR
Very nice video.
I have a 2021 in this exact same spec.
Fantastic car, so much fun to drive, with a crazy engine note to boot.
Mine is a 22 coupe IR/TC w/ DHP. I always thought it was silly Lexus didn't give you the option for a red, or blue top which they did on the IS and Bespoke but c'mon. I hope you picked the tan top for your white and TC interior. Black top like this is a no go for me unless you picked the black interior. I personally love the silver on red, w/ the red top from the Bespoke line. Ive seen that in person and was just in awe.
@@aurorajones8481 I have the black top. After seeing older tan topped Solaras around Chicago and the tan not looking good as it aged I went with the black. I mostly drive with the top down anyway (even in winter).
@@aurorajones8481 yup , I won’t have a black top, black dash or steering wheel, hence the sand and Carmel color.🏖️

Please re-shaped the rear end of the center console box. It looks like a toilet bowl inside a luxary car.
