It’s here; it’s finally here! The 2018 Lexus LC Coupe launched in the UAE just a few days ago, and it still takes our breath away.
Unveiled during a private event right here in Dubai, it’s only a matter of time until we see these models flood the streets with their eye-catching looks, high-performance petrol motor and to our satisfaction, a hybrid model.
470 horsepower spews out of the rear tailpipes thanks to a hearty V8 mounted in the front. Laying down 540 Nm of torque, the 2018 Lexus LC Coupe accelerates from standstill to 100 km/h in a respectable 4.7 seconds.
Those who opt for the hybrid variant receive a 354 horsepower motor powering the rear wheels via a choice of gearboxes. Whereas the petrol 2018 Lexus LC Coupe only benefits from a single transmission, a CVT or 4-speed automatic can be had in the eco-friendly one.
Equipped with a multi-stage hybrid system, LC 500h models “cut” off the petrol pipeline at speeds of up to 140 km/h leaving the hybrid motor to push the coupe.
As you would expect, Lexus offers plenty of features for GCC customers including adaptive cruise control, lane-keep assist, collision detection and a premium 13-speaker sound system along with other luxury options.
Prices for 2018 Lexus LC Coupe models start at AED 395,000 and top out at AED 450,000 for those you prefer a carbon version.
While we’re all anxiously awaiting one of these models to hit the used car market, check out our inventory of new Lexus and used Lexus for sale in Dubai, Sharjah, Ajman and Abu Dhabi.
