2018 / 2019 Lexus LC 500h Hybrid | Fuel Sipping With Class

Right Lane Hog they could be environmentally conscious.

[@BigHeadClan]

Ehhhh I think 30MPG is a bit disappointing, an advanced transmission with a NA 3.5L engine backed by hybrid tech should manage better,, hell Infiniti has a Hybrid Q50 with nearly identical power-train that came out in 2014 and it matches the LC500 in nearly every metric. The LC500 is gorgeous and has an amazing interior so you can really tell where the money went, but can I really say it's all that impressive when it only slightly outperforms a hybrid from 4 years ago and one that costs half as much?

[@rightlanehog3151]

BHC, I think I'll use my daydream money to buy the Lexus over any Nissan.

[@BigHeadClan]

RLH - Yeah that's fair everyone has their preference, just pointing out Lexus really hasn't done anything overly impressive here. If I had 120K to drop on a car I'd be walking right past the Lexus and buying a 911 or R8. lol

[@3204clivesinclair]

It’s not so much the cost - as you stated, people who can afford an expensive car like this, certainly shouldn’t have an issue with fuelling costs. However one BIG consideration is range. These type of vehicles are supposed to be long distance cruisers. Having to fuel up every 200-300 miles (like many big engined GT cars) gets to be a pain after a while.

[@AhmedAlBoraie]

The direct competitor of this lexus is the Aston Martin DB11.. It is a 2+2 grand touring coupe with a very high level of luxury.. And also about 50% higher price tag.

[@cadsux]

I agree. As a 2015 Mustang GT owner, I find the LC Hybrid quite enticing. There's very little performance sacrificed for a better daily commuter. Contrary to most muscle car owners, I actually like a quiet V8 GT. The LC's rear seat & truck space is dismal though. Ford introduced the first V8 coupe in 1932. Let's see if Ford can make an affordable hybrid sports coupe.

[@samsonokoro5036]

This is the best luxury coupe one can buy when it comes to the overall package. Down the line there will be an LC F for those who want crazy faster and handling performance. Rumours of a twin turbo v8 in the works. In terms of luxury, attention to details, craftsmanship exterior and interior design and a balance of comfort and handling there's no luxury coupe in the 100-140k range better. The LC starts at 92k, the s class coupe starts at 110k or thereabouts and only gets far more expensive with options and Amg variants cause of different engines and performance driven numbers. But when it comes to design, luxury, craftsmanship and a balance of comfort and handling the LC 500 which is my preferred version not the hybrid is the better overall car compared to the s class coupe. I have seen the BMW 8 series side to side compared with the LC and the latter trumps completely. The LC is just the best overall package in this class if u r in search of a GT car not a sports car.
