What’s New for the 2019 Lexus LC?

For 2019, Lexus added a number of new standard features to the LC. To start, Lexus made a number of changes to the suspension and performance aspects, starting with reprogramming the shift logic for its 10-speed automatic transmission. In addition, it expanded the range of the Adaptive Variable Suspension to enhance ride comfort, revised the Variable Gear Ratio Steering tuning, and replaced steering components with stiffer and more robust ones. Then, Lexus redesigned the rear engine mount to further isolate vibration from the drivetrain.

Inside, Lexus added several software systems as standard equipment, including Apple CarPlay® connectivity, Amazon Alexa integration, Lexus Enform Remote, Lexus Enform Dynamic Navigation, Dynamic Voice Command, and Lexus Enform Wi-Fi.

Finally, Lexus added a new exterior color: Obsidian.
