The Lexus LC 500h receives some high-end upgrades for 2023 including a new infotainment system and now comes with a price tag of Rs 2.39 crore (ex-showroom).
The Lexus LC 500h now gets a bunch of updates, the most notable being the 12.3-inch wide touch-screen display, replacing the previous 10.3-inch unit that used a touchpad to operate. The display position has been moved 86 millimetres rearward and the entire interface is now similiar to that of the new Lexus RX. The new screen has also resulted in a redesign of the dashboard, which has given it a more modern look. However, the classic analog clock that was placed next to the older screen has been skipped.
With the touchpad that came along with the older screen removed, Lexus have utilised the space to rearrange the centre console switches in a longitudinal layout, enhancing its usability while the passenger side ornamentation panel has been unified with the instrument panel upholstery, emphasizing the horizontal design theme.
The LC 500h now also gets a new super gloss black metallic alloy wheel design for its 21-inch wheels with a 3D machined finish. Besides that, the car remains largely the same. It continues to be powered by the 3.5-litre, naturally aspirated, V6 engine mated to an electric motor and a compact lithium-ion battery. The engine produces a maximum 299 hp and 348 Nm of peak torque, while the electric motor produces 179 hp and and 300 Nm for a combined peak output of 359 hp.
