2023 Lexus LC pricing: More kit for flagship coupe and convertible

The updated 2023 Lexus LC has completed the roll-out of the brand’s Connected Services in Australia.

Other technology revisions applied to the LC include a larger 12.3-inch infotainment system – up from 10.3 inches –running Lexus’s latest software, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and connected built-in satellite navigation.

As with other recent Lexus vehicles, it sees the trackpad controller replaced by full touchscreen functionality, along with 'Hey, Lexus' voice control.

Lexus said the 13-speaker Mark Levinson audio system has been updated to "allow playback of high-resolution sound sources,” and the speakers have switched to a “low-voltage type”.

The brand’s latest active safety suite is now fitted to the LC, with cyclist, intersection and night-time pedestrian detection added to its autonomous emergency braking system.
