Other notable updates include the addition of rear performance dampers to the convertible model, as well as an interior Climate Concierge package. The coupe will also receive the sport package option, which includes Alcantara seating and upgraded brake pads.
Pricing for the 2026 LC500 models starts at $101,700 for the coupe and $109,200 for the convertible in the US. Both models will be built in Japan and are expected to go on sale in the fall.
The 2026 Lexus LC500 is set to continue its legacy as a stunning and powerful luxury coupe, with new options and updates that are sure to please fans of the brand.
