LC in 2026 — what's new
For 2026, the Lexus LC carries on unchanged in Malaysia, with the LC 500 coupe and LC 500 Convertible both using a 4,969 cc petrol engine, 470 hp, a conventional automatic gearbox and four seats. The latest LC-specific development is the reported discontinuation plan, with a Pinnacle Edition due to debut on June 26 as a 200-unit swansong. No 2026 Malaysian Pinnacle Edition is confirmed.

Which variant to buy
Pick the LC 500 at RM1,379,000 if the fixed-roof coupe is the car you want; it has the same 4,969 cc petrol engine, 470 hp, conventional automatic gearbox and four-seat layout as the LC 500 Convertible. Pay RM1,479,000 for the Convertible only if open-top driving is central to the purchase. On paper, the RM100,000 gap buys the convertible body style, not extra output.

Verdict
The Lexus LC is a focused luxury buy: expensive, low-volume in feel, and centred on style of body rather than a long variant ladder. With 470 hp from a 4,969 cc petrol engine, both Malaysian versions share the same core mechanical package. The Convertible costs RM100,000 more without a power increase. The reported Pinnacle Edition swansong also means buyers should check availability before assuming future supply.
