Lexus LC Buying Guide Malaysia
- LC 500 (2UR-GSE V8): naturally aspirated V8 with D4ST — lower carbon than pure DI; check valve carbon at 80,000 km
- LC 500h: Multi Stage Hybrid — most complex drivetrain in any Lexus; specialist service history essential
- LC is a grand tourer — check for wind noise at 110 km/h (door seals), check adaptive suspension response
- Tyre costs are significant — confirm tyre age and brand before purchase; fronts and rears are different sizes
