Lexus LC500 2026 Price in UAE

A 5.0-litre naturally aspirated V8, 471 BHP, ten speeds and rear-wheel drive: the LC500 is the halo Lexus, and the fact that it reached production looking almost exactly like the 2012 concept is still the most remarkable thing about it. Coupe and convertible bodies are both offered, and the drivetrain does not change between them.

How much does the Lexus LC500 cost in the UAE?

From AED 462,000 for the Titanium 5.0L up to AED 520,000 for the Carbon Final Edition 5.0L. The spread covers a carbon-fibre roof, the folding-roof convertible and a run-out edition rather than any change in engine or gearbox — every LC500 has the same V8 and the same ten-speed automatic, which makes this an unusually honest price ladder.

Which Lexus LC500 is the one to buy?

The Titanium coupe for driving, the convertible for the climate. The coupe is lighter and stiffer, and the carbon roof above it buys a marginal centre-of-gravity gain that no road will reveal. The convertible loses a little rigidity but turns the V8's induction noise into the whole point of the car between November and March. The Final Edition is bought to be kept.

Lexus LC500 or Lexus RC F?

The LC500 is the better car and it is not close — bespoke platform, far more sophisticated suspension, and a cabin built to a standard the rest of the range does not reach. The RC F uses a closely related 5.0-litre V8 for substantially less money and is the sharper, more focused tool on a circuit. The wider LC range covers both body styles.

Does the Lexus LC500 hold its value, and what should you watch for as it ages?

Better than most cars of its type. It holds about 69% after three years and about 54% after five, ahead of the roughly 66% and 51% that Japanese premium models in the UAE average — unusual for a low-volume coupe, and largely because supply here has always been thin. Mileage on these is typically very low, so the things to check are storage condition, tyre age and paint rather than wear. Read the inspection report on any individual car.

A claimed 7 Km/L is the running cost to plan for, and Al-Futtaim Lexus handles sales and service in Dubai and Abu Dhabi. The used Lexus cars listed now are also worth a look if a two-year-old coupé would do.
