Overview
The first-generation Lexus LC is a four-seat luxury coupe line for buyers after a petrol-powered, rear-wheel-drive grand tourer, with an open-top alternative. Malaysian buyers get a 4,969 cc, 470 hp automatic powertrain in both forms. Prices start from RM1,379,000 for the LC 500 coupe, while the Convertible costs RM1,479,000.
LC in 2026 — what's new
No 2026-specific update is recorded, so the Malaysian Lexus LC carries into 2026 unchanged with the LC 500 coupe and LC 500 Convertible. Both retain a 4,969 cc petrol engine rated at 470 hp, rear-wheel drive, automatic transmission and four seats. But its future is uncertain: a June 2025 report says the LC is reportedly being discontinued, with a 200-unit Pinnacle Edition due as a swansong.

Which variant to buy
Most buyers should pick the RM1,379,000 LC 500. It has the same 4,969 cc petrol engine, 470 hp output, rear-wheel drive, automatic transmission and four-seat layout as the Convertible. Pay the RM100,000 extra for the RM1,479,000 LC 500 Convertible only if open-air driving is the point of the purchase. On the available specifications, the extra outlay is for the body style rather than added power or a different drivetrain.

Lexus LC buyer's guides & reviews
Verdict
The LC is a highly specialised luxury purchase, not a broad range with budget-led choices. Both Malaysian versions use the same 470 hp petrol, rear-wheel-drive mechanical package and seat four, leaving the decision chiefly between a fixed-roof coupe and a convertible. The reported discontinuation gives the model an uncertain runway, so buyers should confirm availability and the final specification before committing.
