The 2026 Lexus LC 500 is Lexus Canada's flagship grand touring sports coupe — the most emotionally driven expression of the Lexus brand. It is offered in two body styles (Coupe and Convertible), across three configurations: the standard LC 500, the optional Performance Package, and the limited 2026 Inspiration Series (200 units for North America). The LC 500h hybrid is not offered in Canada for 2026. All variants are powered by the same naturally aspirated V8 with rear-wheel drive.
