2018 Lexus LC 500h - Hybrids Don't Have To Be Boring

[@jordancatcher6663]

I'll stick with the gasoline model just because that sound is phenomenal. Theres nothing like the sound of a naturally aspirated v8. 😏😏😏

[@PartikleVT]

I would too if it werent for the local tax system and the fact that hybrid allows me to go around it :p

[@Monkeyseemonkey79]

You do realize that the hybrid also runs on gasoline, right? I find it terrifying that so many people are still climate change deniers in 2019. Sure V8's sound great, but we all need to start being more responsible and balancing fuel efficiency with performance.

[@DriveAndBeDriven]

Great review, as always, Sofyan! The LC500h is such a unique vehicle. The exterior is sleek and headturning, while the interior is luxurious with a sporty alter ego. Not to mention, the LC500h's powertrain uniqueness. Overall, Lexus' flagship coupe is a very impressive vehicle. The infotainment system seems a bit overwhelming at first, but I am sure that owners would get used to it overtime. From one enthusiast to another, keep it up! 👍🏽

Toyota & Lexus hybrids do not have CVT's, they have eCVT's - they are dramatically different and it's worth stressing that fact. Toyota eCVT's are much more simple and robust than conventional CVTs; there is no dainty belt. They're essentially a differential, with a large electric motor one one input, and the gas engine with a smaller electric motor on the other input. Simple and awesome.

[@aspecreviews]

THIS! If I had a dollar every time I corrected someone about the eCVT, I could buy this Lexus LC 500h...

[@BlindMango]

Sofyan! Every Lexus review you state there isn't engine start from the keys, but there has been key start on every Lexus since ~2015. So long as the Lexus Remote app is set up it will activate the keys (Sounds odd, I know). But on the keys you just press lock three times in a row, then hold down on the third time to start the car.

[@eleanormassaro5195]

On acceleration it almost sounds like a twin turbo! Interesting! Although I prefer the V8 exhaust, it’s still a gorgeous car in either form!

[@lostbetrayed]

If Lexus offered the LC500 with the v10 that was in the LFA I'm sure LC500 sales would be higher then now. Also instead of the 3.5 liter v6 for the LC500h I think they should switch to the 3.3 liter twin turbo v6 that's in the Genesis G70 😉 for the 5.0 version I think they should make a supercharged or a twin turbo charged street legal race version of the LC500 V8. Who agrees with everything or almost everything I just said?! 😁

[@harveymorgan1749]

The transmission holds it back, whats the point of decking it out. At least the LFA has the amazing sound to justify it but i have no idea why they cant get a dual clutch in there

[@robloxiandino4454]

This car looks much better In other colors then black

[@HeavyRayne]

That black interior is horrifically drab. Even though it's the base option they should really have added some kind of contrast.

[@tannersword1]

Skip 60% of the video to 15:00 for the drive. The 2GR sounds great with an aftermarket exhaust. This car with a decent exhaust would still sound great. If you want a V8 hybrid, get a used LS600H and get an aftermarket exhaust.

No one who’s buying this car is worried about the gas cost. It’s an environmental statement. Stop saying “save gas money” Totally missing the point

[@MrTblackmon]

The first-ever Lexus LC-500 Hybrid coupe looks almost its has Aston-Martin in its DNA, and upon arrival of the LC-500 to the world in 2016, the personal-luxury coupe was and is a stunner to look at with a state-of-the-art philosophy to defy what Lexus is: a top-tier luxury brand.

Thanks Sofyan your reviews are always enjoyable to watch. Great job!

[@adbt20]

I have to congratulate you Sofyan, not just for the great review, but for opening my perspective (a bit) about the hybrid! I had totally dismissed it facing the V8 model. However I do maintain, at this price point, the hybrid is still pretty pointless... spend 100k for this because it gets better mpg!? Lol. I guess you're right Sofyan, they will have to give us a plug-in hybrid, that may be more worthwhile!

[@rss-9011]

I'm torn between the v8 and hybrid model. Could somebody please educate me money wise on how big of a difference the engines would be when it comes to fuel. Where I live its roughly $1.70 (canadian) for premium gas and I drive anywhere from 100 to 200 km a week. I love daily driving and would want to enjoy the car if I bought it. Thanks in advance for anyone who replies!!! : )

[@hollaz2]

the difference in fuel expenditure is considerate given the factors you've listed; theyre both identical in terms of acceleration and i'd say the only noticeable difference is the noise each makes, that and of course the gas mileage too

[@Libertarian_Neighbor]

Nobody is buying the hybrid instead of the v8 because they can’t afford gas, they’re buying it to be more eco-friendly.

[@roochiecooch]

I think the You should consider the other power train the “gasoline only” models and the hybrid is the gasoline and electric. Regardless great review, very cool car. I was very much feeling the same before I saw the video that I b thought the car would be boring and slow compared to the V8 LC. But seeing how quick it accelerates and that very interesting combo of a CVT and a 4 speed auto to make a simulated 10 speed. I’m assuming the CVT more acts as a transfer case would, where it has like a high range and low range, or maybe it has a low range, mid range and high range. Where it uses the 1-4th then goes back to like the 2nd or 3rd gear but the CVT ups the ratio to taller final drive so hay 2nd turns into 5th, 3rd into 6th etc so on and so forth. But I’m assuming with the CVT that you could make infinite gears with that 4 speed. You could literally make it a 16 speed simulated gearbox with that setup if it were programmed for it. Very cool idea and good execution by Lexus. Impressive car and I’m extremely surprised by how it’s a “fun” hybrid! Thanks again Sofyan!

[@ReDJstone]

Spain. Cars rated: “0 emissions”, “eco”, “C” and “B”. If you have a C or a B, and there are restrictions in any city due to the pollution, you might rather taking a train. Tell me, what marks do you think the V8 would get? (Not eco, thats for sure). “Hey, but it sounds good”, fuck yes it does, but why would sound matter if you wont be able to drive it at any restricted areas, which, usually and coincidentally, are the ones with the most population?

[@drakvaclav826]
