New 2026 Lexus LC Specs, Images, Price   –   A 2025 Lexus LC Convertible prepped for its loudest, sportiest, most white-gauged setting on a peaceful, meandering, rural backroad with a partly overcast sky and a warm 19 degrees Celsius. Perhaps appropriately, The Black Keys’ “I Got Mine” began to blast from the car’s top-of-the-line audio system. No obligations, no traffic, no police, and no fear. With only time and gasoline to burn, it’s just myself and one amazing car. “This is it,” I told myself as I leaned on the gas and allowed the metallic V8 cry to echo off the trees and back into my eardrums, with only the clear, spring Saturday afternoon air to interfere. “This is life.”  New 2026 Lexus LC Specs

New 2026 Lexus LC Redesign and Update Plan

Exterior and Interior

The LC Convertible’s usage of Lexus’s infamous touchpad infotainment controller is arguably its largest and only true flaw. Unfortunately, it’s the only option to interact with the center screen and is also quite difficult to utilize. However, it is far simpler to circumvent all of the other restrictions on the LC. The HVAC switches, transmission, and steering wheel controls are all extremely easy to use. They are scaled and arranged similarly to piano keys. A large hifi-style volume knob is smooth, heavy, and really enjoyable to use. The soft top switch, on the other hand, is concealed under a flip-up panel behind the touchpad and is probably difficult to spot if you are unfamiliar with its location. New 2026 Lexus LC Specs

There are no option packages available from Lexus that would increase the cost or, naturally, make production more difficult. Rather, a stylish digital gauge display that physically shifts to one side, and, of course, that retractable top are standard on all LC convertibles. The stereo system sounds fantastic, as Lexus is known for doing, but it’s probably not as great as it was in the coupe because of the altered acoustics.  New 2026 Lexus LC Specs

Engine and Performance

The LC’s voice may be even more pleasing to listen to than its appearance. Although the LC’s exhaust system differs from that of the company’s RC F coupe and muscular IS 500 sedan, the 5.0L V8 engine performs best here. It is both melodious and animal-like; at low revs, it is growly, and at high ones, it can scream like the coolest trumpet in the world. It makes the most deliciously annoying machine gun noises when you run it up against the rev limiter, almost as if it was made for that purpose. This is absurd given that this is a Toyota.

The LC sounds better than its RC F and IS 500 siblings, but it also sounds better than the more gravelly Jaguar F-Type, in my opinion. It sounds better than the Acura NSX Type S race car, the whiningly supercharged Dodge Hellcats, and—I might have to say this in a whisper—I honestly believe it sounds better than Lamborghini’s insane V10. It’s better that way. Not more aggressive or louder. Better.) The LC’s amazing focal point is the engine sounds, which is enhanced in this open-air convertible model.  New 2026 Lexus LC Specs

New 2026 Lexus LC Fuel Economy

The 2026 LC Convertible has been evaluated by Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) at 16.0 L/100 km in the city, 9.5 on the interstate, and 13.0 overall. But after exactly 484 test kilometers, I saw an absolutely ridiculous 16.8 L/100 km. It was driven as if it were made to be driven. Naturally, premium fuel is needed.  New 2026 Lexus LC Specs

New 2026 Lexus LC Safety Features

Fun fact: I refused to give any of the 500 kilometers that Lexus Canada limits press loans to any kind of semi-autonomous driving technology, so you can imagine how well the LC’s all-speed range adaptive cruise control works. Additional onboard safety features include a pre-collision system, lane-departure alert with steering assistance, automatic high-beam headlamps, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, an active roll bar that prevents drivers’ heads from striking the ground in the case of a rollover, and more. All things considered, the LC Convertible is fairly simple to look out of, although the rear cross-traffic warning and blind-spot monitoring are very helpful.  New 2026 Lexus LC Specs

New 2026 Lexus LC Price and Release Date

However, considering what you receive and the other vehicles in this class, the Lexus LC isn’t really that expensive to purchase—as long as you can handle the gasoline costs. After adding $650 for the orange paint and $2,175 for delivery, the original price of $124,300, which Lexus charges, amounted to $127,095 before taxes. In all honesty, this seems totally acceptable given the excitement and joy I had. In contrast, a standard Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet without any upgrades won’t even cost $127,000.
