Overview
Cars like the 2021 Lexus LC 500h Coupe might not be able to give you the direct benefits one might expect from its hybrid powertrain. However, its usefulness must not be overlooked. The LC 500h uses its 3.5L V6 engine and a 1.1kWh battery pack to produce 354 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque. This gives the LC 500h a 0-60 of 5.2 seconds. The hybrid engine here is to support the gasoline engine to boost performance and offer slightly better fuel economy than what a single gasoline engine would be capable of. That said, the 2021 LC 500h achieves a combined fuel economy of 29 MPG. As part of the compact coupe class, the LC 500h competes directly with only the Mercedes-Benz AMG E53 Cabriolet. The LC500h offers a single trim at an MSRP of $98,695. Alternatively, if you prefer a PHEV, the Polestar 1 will fit the bill here.
