How do you evaluate the Lexus LC500?

The editor loves the roof-mounted LC500. I have been driving it for more than 2 months, and there are always things I want to say.

Advantages: 1. The interior design, materials, and workmanship are superior to all cars in the same class and some higher-level luxury cars. You can enjoy the interior for half a year after sitting in it for the first time.

2. The engine and gearbox work very well together. In normal mode, the smoothness is impeccable but it does not have the usual "meaty" feeling of Lexus. The power is always available, which is commendable.

3. This car is very heavy. Compared with the 911, it is much heavier and a bit larger, but you can’t feel it when driving. In addition to the good power and control, the brakes and rear-wheel steering are also very important. without.

4. The suspension is very good. It does not feel too soft in normal mode and does not feel too hard in sports mode.

5. The sound is very good, after all, the V8 is self-priming.

6. The appearance is really cool. Many people have taken photos of my car from the end of last year to now. The side profile is perfect.

7. The configuration is very conscientious and basically has everything on the market. The differences between the top-end and entry-level models are listed here: Mark Levison audio, carbon fiber roof, active rear wing, larger wheels and tires, that's about it, there are no essential key configurations.

Disadvantages: 1. The power is top-notch among Lexus's own cars, but it is not enough to look at when you pull it out. The money of this car is enough to buy a two-door C63 S AMG or M4 or RS5 and there is still more. You can buy GTR, Jaguar f type FS and entry-level 911.

2. The 10at gearbox does not shift frequently enough in s+ mode.

3. As a GT, the front lip is unreasonably low, making it timid to get into a parking space, and it would be awkward if the slope is steeper.

4. The trunk is small and has a weird shape.

5. The multimedia in the car is a joke, it is difficult to use, there is no very practical software like Google Maps, and it does not support Apple Car Play and Android Play.

In general, this is the best and most perfect Lexus so far (including LFA), but there are still many shortcomings compared to other brands, but we can really see Lexus’ enterprising spirit reflected in The details of this car. If there is an LC F version in the future, I will definitely switch to it.

Let’s talk about the interior!

The seats are made of two materials and have a good wrapping feel.

The materials used for the central control and armrests are very good. The buttons and edges are all aluminum alloy. The touch position has a leather hand pillow and the leather next to it are two different things. The wear resistance of the hand pillow is obvious. Higher, like it.

The door handles feel good and the doors are made of the same two materials.

The passenger's handle has an aluminum alloy inner pad.

The mysterious plastic under the steering wheel is probably to cover the internal wiring. Apart from the design, material selection and workmanship of this small piece of plastic exterior and interior, there is nothing to complain about. Even the feedback of the buttons and the weight of the volume knob are impeccable. Again, if you just want a fast/street-breaking/famous car, don’t buy this. But if you want a more handsome car with a top-notch interior that you can drive every day, which is worry-free to drive, has complete functions, and has some power, and you don’t want to spend too much money. It seemed like this car was the best choice.
