Hello hello everyone,
I am a year into ownership with the Lexus LC 500h. I was looking at the LC's last year and after some searching I landed on my particular LC (primarily due to the interior).
Outwith servicing (£98 a month service plan) and two rear tyres (£397 a tyre) the car has been problem free. I really enjoy the styling and feel of the vehicle.
Recently made a video on my YT channel of a year of ownership.
I am still to see another LC in the wild and get a photo of my LC next to another one.
Please enjoy the photos.
If anyone has any questions or would like to know something about the LC please reach out.

I'm a big fan of these. Love the spec of yours, bold interior goes well with the white exterior! smile

These are great cars looking cars with a stunning interior.

I remember seeing a Yellow one on the motorway once and not knowing what it was, had to look it up when I got home. They go under the radar, like you say!

In White it reminds me of an LFA - no bad thing!

Looks a beauty man congratz, i've not seen that interior colour combo before either.

How do you find it overall and what's your views so far?

My dad picked up one of these a few weeks back! He was coming from a Lexus RC300h

His is a 2017 on 53k miles.

Maxton bodykit, dark red interior.

Bonnet is beyond long, and when popping the hood its a serious piece of engineering where the front shocks are slotted.

Impressive car, gets a lot of looks and has a hell of a lot of presence in person, it feels great to drive, planted as anything and its certainly not slow.

I was surprised with the grip given its on runflats, built like a tank and extremely refined.

I don't think the sound system is the best one, I would say the one in my M4 is better, and the fuel cap has broke also, when you press the button... needs fixing at Lexus. Bar that, it's a winner! tough to trade up from cars like these...

Nice car OP enjoy it! biggrin

Even with the V8 one I had it was incredibly grippy, you'd have to be seriously abusive to do the rolling burnouts seen on some of the YouTube videos!

I've just realised, this interior is very close to the one in Rowan Atkinson's LFA that was up for sale recently. That got a lot of comments on that thread as well, is it a standard Lexus spec then?

Yeah, Lexus does some cracking interiors!

My god that car is beautiful. Very rare too, never seen one of these on the road.

How’s the transmission on it? Does it provide a sporty drive or is it more comfort oriented?

Stunning car! Is it economical being hybrid? I have seen a few on the road and they look great.

One of the best looking cars on the road at any price. It's good for owners that they seem to hold their value well, personally I think they need to depreciate terribly so I can buy one.
