The base price is up $4,250 for the LC 500 and $1,550 for the LC 500h.

The 2024 Lexus LC 500 and LC 500h arrive with a major tech upgrade. The previous 10.3-inch infotainment screen is going, and a 12.3-inch touchscreen display replaces it.

The updated infotainment system comes standard with a Panoramic View Monitor that combines images from the front, rear, left, and right cameras to provide a complete perspective of what's around the vehicle. It also supports dual Bluetooth and the wireless versions of Apple CarPlay integration and Android Auto.

The previous system with the 10.3-inch display received poor reviews. For example, after driving the 2022 LC 500, Senior Editor Jeff Perez wrote:

Unlike newer Lexus models, which feature ergonomic touchscreens, the LC hides its 10.3-inch display behind a pane of clear plastic, forcing the driver to interact with a frustrating trackpad instead. Mercifully, there are a few redundant controls for climate and audio, but making anything but rudimentary changes requires a trip through the infotainment system's Byzantine menus. Adjusting the seat climate controls, for example, is a four-step process on the trackpad, and operating it while on the fly isn't easy.

In addition to the improved infotainment system, there are two new exterior colors available: Ultrasonic Blue Mica 2.0 and Copper Crest. Both are $595 options. Dark Rose is an additional upholstery color. The 2024 LC 500 gets 21-inch forged alloy wheels with a gloss black finish and metallic accents.

The LC 500 continues to use a naturally aspirated 5.0-liter V8 that makes 471 horsepower and 398 pound-feet of torque. It lets the car accelerate to 60 miles per hour in 4.4 seconds. The only gearbox available is a 10-speed automatic.

An optional sport package includes a Torsen limited-slip rear differential, revised dampers, performance brake pads, and Alcantara-trimmed seats.
