2023 Lexus LC 500h Trims Comparison

2023 LC 500h trim level differences

The 2023 LC 500h isn't offered in different trim levels. Instead, you choose option packages to improve upon the standard list of features. It's powered by an efficient hybrid powertrain consisting of a 3.5-liter V6 engine paired with two electric motors and a lithium-ion battery pack. Together, the hybrid system generates 354 horsepower that's fed to the rear wheels through an unusual transmission. The LC 500h uses a continuously variable transmission and a four-speed automatic that, together, simulate 10 gear ratios.

Highlights from the standard equipment list include:

Which 2023 LC 500h trim does Edmunds recommend?

There aren't any trim levels to recommend for the Lexus LC 500h because it's only available in one well-equipped configuration featuring several available packages and options. However, we recommend using the Bespoke Build configurator that allows you to build your LC 500h exactly to your liking. The Mark Levinson sound system and 21-inch wheels are worthy upgrades.
