This system is a testament to Lexus' innovative spirit, delivering a high performance that challenges the traditional perception of hybrid powertrains. The multi-stage shift device, a part of this system, ensures a direct response to driver inputs and a higher level of dynamic performance, making every drive a pleasure.
The LC 500h isn't just about performance; it's a statement in design and luxury. With its chrome finish and mesh design, the spindle grille sets a commanding presence, complemented by the distinctive Lexus lighting signature.
