Ready for Summer: Lexus LC Coupe’s Key Changes for 2021

Distinctive Craftsmanship

The LC strikes an impressive balance between function and comfort, sporting intent and luxury. In the cabin, the low-set instrument panel and the narrow front pillars give the driver a commanding view of the road ahead.

The door panels’ flowing lines generate a sense of design continuity, extending exterior styling that flows from the bonnet through the windscreen.

Exterior color choices include Blazing Carnelian, new for the 2021 model year, and Terrane Khaki, which was previously reserved for the LC Limited Edition. Other shades include F White, Dark Grey, Sonic Silver, Sonic Titanium, Solid Black, Radiant Red, Flare Yellow and Deep Blue.

The seats, exclusive to the LC, feel as good as they look. Their two-part construction provides a seatback that drapes over the shoulders and then wraps around the back, with a structure designed to hold the driver securely when cornering at speed.

The driving experience is further enhanced by a steering wheel with a cross-section that varies in shape around its circumference, allowing variations in grip and twisting of the wrist. For the front passenger, the side of the centre console rises to form an integrated grab handle.

The quality finish of the upholstery, trim materials and detailing is an expression of Lexus’ world-renowned takumi craftsmanship. It can be seen and felt in the hand-stitching of the leather-wrapped shift level and draping treatment of the Alcantara door panel trim, among many other details.

The interior colour schemes include new Flare Red and Manhattan Orange leather options for the 2021 model year, the former replacing the previous Dark Rose. Other leather shades include Black and Ochre.
