2024 Lexus LC Features Interior Upgrades Including a New Screen
The 2024 Lexus LC coupe and convertible feature numerous upgrades, most notably a touchscreen infotainment system.The LC500 continues to use a 471-hp 5.0-liter V-8, while the LC500h has a 354-hp hybrid system.The 2024 models will go on sale in June in the U.S.
The most desirable Lexus, the stunning LC, has finally abandoned one of its key flaws: the frustrating touchpad infotainment controller that’s been disappearing from the luxury brand’s lineup recently. The 2024 Lexus LC500 and LC500h finally adopt a newer infotainment system with a 12.3-inch touchscreen and benefit from other new color options and customization possibilities.
The updated dashboard doesn’t look radically different, but the central display screen is now a tablet-style touchscreen rather than the previous model’s recessed screen that was controlled by a finicky touchpad on the center console. This also means that the screen runs the newest Lexus Interface software, which enables over-the-air updates, a voice assistant, and additional connectivity features.
New exterior colors include Ultrasonic Blue Mica 2.0 for $595 and Copper Crest for $500, and there’s a new interior color called Copper Crest. Lexus will start offering a Bespoke Build program that allows customers to customize their LC with a wider range of color combinations, wheel options, and optional features. The Bespoke Build option opens up choices such as a carbon-fiber roof, different colors for the softtop in the convertible version, and a new blue and white interior color scheme that costs an extra $1900.
There aren’t any mechanical changes for the LC coupe or convertible models. The coupe continues to offer either a naturally aspirated 471-hp 5.0-liter V-8 in the LC500 and a 354-hp hybrid powertrain in the LC500h that uses a 3.5-liter V-6; the convertible is V-8–only.

21-inch wheels are now standard, as is a park-assist system. And pricing is up significantly, with the 2024 LC500 coupe now starting at $98,850, a $3250 increase from last year. The LC500h hybrid’s uptick is more modest, going up $550 to $102,150, while the LC500 convertible is up $2700 to a new starting price of $106,350. Lexus says that the 2024 models will start arriving at U.S. dealerships in June.

Despite being raised on a steady diet of base-model Hondas and Toyotas—or perhaps because of it—Joey Capparella nonetheless cultivated an obsession for the automotive industry throughout his childhood in Nashville, Tennessee. He found a way to write about cars for the school newspaper during his college years at Rice University, which eventually led him to move to Ann Arbor, Michigan, for his first professional auto-writing gig at Automobile Magazine. He has been part of the Car and Driver team since 2016 and now lives in New York City.
