10-Speed Direct-Shift Transmission

LC 500’s 10-speed automatic - the first ever in a luxury automobile - delivers shift times rivalling those of a double-clutch transmission.

Paddle Shifters

Large magnesium paddle shifters with a meticulously engineered “click” feedback and outboard placement contribute to an intuitive, track-inspired driving experience.

Drive Mode Select

Inspired by the LFA supercar this is our most engaging Drive Mode Select yet.

Select performance to match your driving style with 6 drive modes including CUSTOM, which enables you to tailor the drive mode settings to their liking.

Pre-crash Safety System

When the radar and camera sensors detect a collision with a pedestrian, vehicle ahead is likely, it alerts the driver and activates pre-crash brake assist when the driver depresses the brake pedal. If it determines a collision is difficult to avoid, the pre-crash brakes and pre-crash seatbelts also operate.

Dynamic Radar Cruise Control

In addition to maintaining a constant speed, Dynamic Radar Cruise Control uses the radar and camera sensors to detect a vehicle driving ahead and maintain an appropriate distance between vehicles at all speeds.

Lane Keeping Assist & Automatic High Beam System

LKA alerts the driver with a buzzer and on the multi-information display if the system judges the vehicle is about to cross the lane markings without using the turn signals, and assists steering to help avoid lane departure

AHB helps safe driving at night by instantly switching from high to low beam when the lights of an oncoming vehicle, or the tail lights of a vehicle in front, are detected/

Supplemental Restraint System

The LC features dual-stage SRS airbags (Front seats), SRS knee airbags (Front seats), SRS side airbags (Front seats) and SRS curtain shield airbags (Front and rear seats)

Pop Up Hood

The innovative PUH helps to provide pedestrian protection in the event of a frontal collision, and at the same time enables a sporty design with a low hood line. When sensors mounted in the front bumper determine that the vehicle has collided with a pedestrian, the hood instantly pops up on four fulcrum points to create a space to help absorb the impact force.

BSM (Blind Spot Monitor System)

Radar devices mounted in the rear bumper detect vehicles in adjacent lanes that are not visible in the door mirrors. The moment a vehicle enters this blind spot, the driver is warned by an LED indicator in the relevant door mirror.

RCTA (Rear Cross Traffic Alert)

To assist safe reversing, RCTA uses quasi-millimetre-wave radars in the rear bumper to detect approaching vehicles in difficult-to-see areas behind the vehicle. When an approaching vehicle is detected, RCTA alerts the driver using a buzzer and indicator in the relevant door mirror.
