Overview

The 2019 Lexus LC 500 Coupe makes for an excellent contender in the midsize coupe class. With a single trim on offer, the Lexus LC 500 has a base MSRP of $92,300 and competes directly with the Nissan GT-R Pure, the Jaguar F Type R Dynamic, and the Porsche 911 Carrera coupe. Only a 5.0L V8 engine is offered, mated to a 10-Speed Automatic transmission. Together, they produce 471 horsepower and 398 lb-ft of torque. Accelerating from 0-60 in 4.4 seconds, the LC 500 maintains a combined fuel economy of 19 MPG. Lexus offers the LC 500 in 9 stunning colors, with the Atomic Silver being a particular favorite of ours.

Buying Advice

Offered as a standalone trim, the 2019 Lexus LC 500 coupe lacks customization on a trim level basis but makes up for that by offering plenty of optional packages. Each of these packages offers an impressive degree of personalization. Our recommendation, in particular, is the Conversation Package as well as the Sport Package.
