Lexus LC boot space, practicality and safety
- Adults will struggle to fit in the back
- Low, wide car isn’t easiest to park
- Boot is tiny in V8 and smaller still in hybrid
The Lexus LC Coupe doesn’t fare particularly well in this respect. While the two front occupants will be comfortable, a six-foot-tall adult simply won’t fit in the back. The sloping roofline means there’s no headroom at all, so it’s suitable for young children only.Â
On paper the LC’s boot measures 197 litres for the V8, but the LC 500h’s hybrid system eats into this further, leaving just 172 litres of room. This isn’t a brilliant performance from the Lexus.
Is it easy to park?
We found the LC quite simple to park in a bay, but its wideness will make it a tight fit in a garage. Acoustic parking sensors lend a hand, however, and the rear-wheel steering on Sport + models also makes life a little easier in this respect.Â
Safety
We’re expecting the Lexus LC Coupe to fare well in the safety stakes. It hasn’t yet been crash-tested by Euro NCAP but we predict it’ll score the maximum five stars simply thanks to its impressive roster of equipment.
You get airbags all around the cabin, traction and stability control systems, hill-start assist, a tyre pressure warning system and a blindspot monitor with rear cross-traffic alert.
On top of that there’s Lexus Safety System +, which includes adaptive cruise control, pre-collision safety, traffic sign recognition, active lane-keeping assistance, a sway warning system and automatic high-beam headlights.
