    hello everyone and welcome to Galaxy
    00:00:30
    cars now a few weeks ago I was invited
    00:00:32
    down to Lexus Guilford to make an
    00:00:33
    in-depth Tour on their brand new lt500
    00:00:36
    hybrid now that video has since done
    00:00:37
    very very well so because of the success
    00:00:40
    of that video I've been asked to come
    00:00:41
    down again to film a more day in the
    00:00:43
    life uh living with type video so I'm
    00:00:46
    going to be showing you my day with an
    00:00:48
    lc500 hybrid and um what it's like to
    00:00:50
    live with usability driving quality so
    00:00:53
    I'm going to be taking the lc500 hybrid
    00:00:55
    that I have up to London I'll tell you
    00:00:57
    more about the car and more about the
    00:00:58
    plan later but before I get into the car
    00:01:00
    there are two things I want to show you
    00:01:02
    firstly but a bit random and not car
    00:01:04
    related this Lexus showroom has the most
    00:01:06
    stylish and comfortable seats I've ever
    00:01:08
    seen in any car dealership the second
    00:01:11
    thing is this solar flare orange RCF 300
    00:01:13
    that's currently for sale what an
    00:01:15
    incredible color anyway let's get back
    00:01:17
    to the lc500
    00:01:20
    hybrid you can find a direct link to the
    00:01:22
    lc500 here but just in case you weren't
    00:01:25
    sure here are some key features about
    00:01:26
    the car the lc500 hybrid is powered by
    00:01:28
    front mid-mounted 355 brake horsepower
    00:01:31
    3.5 L petrol V6 its electric power comes
    00:01:35
    from a potent lithium ion battery a
    00:01:36
    first fexus these combined power sources
    00:01:39
    come together to produce a sub 5c 0 to
    00:01:42
    62 mph time and a limited top speed of
    00:01:44
    155 mph as this car is the Sport Plus
    00:01:47
    model it comes with a rear spoiler
    00:01:49
    torque vectoring rear diff and
    00:01:50
    four-wheel steering which leads to very
    00:01:52
    agile cornering and a decreased turning
    00:01:54
    Circle which will be demonstrated later
    00:01:56
    in the video so this is the key to the
    00:01:58
    car it's quite a basic key only three
    00:02:01
    buttons on the back but it's got an
    00:02:02
    absolutely lovely design and the build
    00:02:03
    quality feels absolutely great to open
    00:02:05
    the door simply press the button and the
    00:02:08
    handles stick
    00:02:11
    out really nice feature is that they
    00:02:13
    have uh the Lexus
    00:02:17
    sign the interior itself I think is a
    00:02:19
    massive step up Lexus Interiors have
    00:02:21
    been questionable in the past but I have
    00:02:23
    to say this is actually a really really
    00:02:25
    um nicely upholstered um well thought
    00:02:28
    out interior space so really nice
    00:02:30
    feature to access the rear compartment
    00:02:31
    pull the seats forward and they
    00:02:33
    automatically
    00:02:35
    move makes very easy entry and exiting
    00:02:39
    um the space in the rear as you can see
    00:02:41
    up um upholstered alcantar and leather
    00:02:43
    as this is the uh the Sport Plus
    00:02:45
    version no real room whatsoever um it's
    00:02:49
    probably going to be using the back
    00:02:51
    probably really for its intended purpose
    00:02:53
    uh which is just extra storage
    00:02:55
    essentially but what I'm going to do is
    00:02:56
    i' one of my friends is helping me film
    00:02:58
    this video so I'm going to ask we're
    00:02:59
    going to call him over I'm going to get
    00:03:01
    him to sit in the back of the car and
    00:03:03
    show you really how much the space is
    00:03:07
    limited okay so how tall are you do you
    00:03:09
    think that's 6ot 6t okay so if you get
    00:03:12
    in the back well we can uh we can we can
    00:03:15
    test out yeah it's a little flap at the
    00:03:16
    back
    00:03:17
    there so 6t guy 183 cm you don't
    00:03:23
    understand imperior so if you try and
    00:03:24
    pop yourself
    00:03:28
    in
    00:03:33
    yeah pretty much the only issue with the
    00:03:36
    car I how does that feel to you great so
    00:03:39
    even with the seat forward it's just a
    00:03:40
    case of
    00:03:43
    Headroom that's absolutely that's
    00:03:46
    obnoxious to be honest that horn unall
    00:03:48
    for but um so yeah so you can't even
    00:03:51
    extend your head that's just that's no
    00:03:53
    it's not good it's good if you want to
    00:03:54
    check your phone that's about
    00:03:58
    it
    00:04:04
    good thing the car is really easy to get
    00:04:06
    into actually thought I'm going to open
    00:04:07
    the door really briefly and show you the
    00:04:10
    controls for the seats oh if the door
    00:04:13
    doesn't slide back so on the side we
    00:04:15
    have um these control back and forward
    00:04:18
    tilt motion that's about it this one is
    00:04:21
    to move the seat forward or to move the
    00:04:23
    seat backward and then it's got a little
    00:04:25
    one on the side uh rest of the Interior
    00:04:27
    Space really really nice like I said
    00:04:29
    before this is the sport plus mod
    00:04:31
    version so we got leather up the top
    00:04:33
    Alcantara this I think what I imagine
    00:04:35
    could be aluminium handle either way I
    00:04:39
    really love the way it's fashioned seat
    00:04:40
    memory controls down here uh usual
    00:04:43
    things so we've got um electric windows
    00:04:45
    lock unlock and um controls for the
    00:04:49
    electric mirrors as well small storage
    00:04:51
    space at the bottom of the door and
    00:04:53
    actually have to say a really really
    00:04:55
    nice carbon fiber seal area I think we
    00:04:59
    we're almost ready to start off our
    00:05:01
    journey so foot on the brake and there's
    00:05:04
    a little power on button here everything
    00:05:06
    gets into
    00:05:08
    gear and believe it or not because this
    00:05:10
    is a a 3 and2 l V6 hybrid the car is
    00:05:13
    actually on now which is pretty crazy um
    00:05:15
    what's my driving position like it's not
    00:05:17
    too
    00:05:18
    bad I need to adjust the mirrors so what
    00:05:22
    I have to do is press right and then I
    00:05:24
    can just adjust the mirrors
    00:05:27
    accordingly okay
    00:05:30
    got like that and then simply have to
    00:05:33
    press left for the left one obviously
    00:05:35
    and I can just adjust that one too um I
    00:05:39
    imagine that button is for autoc closing
    00:05:41
    let's just test it
    00:05:45
    out so that function is going to come in
    00:05:47
    pretty handy later little functions here
    00:05:50
    me that's with the fuel cap for the boot
    00:05:52
    and for the HUD I probably won't be
    00:05:54
    using that because for some reason I get
    00:05:56
    really re nauseated when using the hood
    00:05:57
    uh when using the HUD nice controls the
    00:06:00
    thing I like about this it's inspired
    00:06:02
    from the LFA so the center dial actually
    00:06:05
    move back when you move the car into
    00:06:06
    sport mode which you can do using the
    00:06:09
    little dial over to the side and imagine
    00:06:11
    traction controlled um over on this side
    00:06:15
    nice big screen which is controlled
    00:06:17
    through all the center column nicely
    00:06:19
    upholstered gear stick here for the
    00:06:20
    10-speed automatic gearbox it's one of
    00:06:22
    the first of its kind I imagine this the
    00:06:25
    satav is probably pretty easy to set up
    00:06:27
    but just for convenience's sake I'm
    00:06:29
    actually going to use ways on my phone
    00:06:32
    cuz I just think that'll be easier so
    00:06:34
    moving to the review mirror I actually
    00:06:36
    personally love this R mirror it's
    00:06:38
    seamless it's sort of um edgeless it's
    00:06:40
    one of the the only ones that's truly
    00:06:42
    edgeless I imagine it's Auto dimming as
    00:06:44
    well just make sure that we have the
    00:06:45
    best visibility possible the actual wind
    00:06:47
    screen itself is quite narrow I'd say
    00:06:51
    visibility is quite good but it the the
    00:06:53
    top um section the panel over here runs
    00:06:56
    down quite fast so I feel that is sort
    00:06:58
    of in the way a bit so one other thing
    00:06:59
    I've just realized is at the moment my
    00:07:02
    view this is my view it's a little bit
    00:07:04
    sort of muted I can't really see the top
    00:07:06
    of the display panel I was just looking
    00:07:07
    around to see and you adjust the um
    00:07:11
    steering column using this little button
    00:07:12
    over here electrically adjustable
    00:07:15
    forward backwards up and down so
    00:07:17
    actually exceptionally easy to adjust
    00:07:20
    there we go that's much better bring It
    00:07:22
    Forward a little bit perfect we're
    00:07:24
    finally ready to go so um what I'm going
    00:07:26
    to do now is put the car into drive um
    00:07:28
    so simply just turn over to the right
    00:07:31
    and then it's a neutral I can put it up
    00:07:32
    for reverse or down into drive believe
    00:07:34
    it or not the car is actually on already
    00:07:37
    um it's amazingly silent because it's a
    00:07:39
    hybrid so into to drive simply just
    00:07:41
    release it's got a little creep function
    00:07:44
    and then there we go silently
    00:07:50
    away okay so let me introduce the actual
    00:07:52
    concept behind today what we're actually
    00:07:54
    going to do how am I going to test this
    00:07:56
    car in a real world setting you may not
    00:07:59
    be English watching this video in which
    00:08:01
    case I need to do a bit of explaining
    00:08:03
    now in the UK we have a food stuff it's
    00:08:06
    called a scotch egg so essentially
    00:08:07
    imagine a boiled egg and then you get
    00:08:09
    meat from like that's inside of a
    00:08:11
    sausage normally you put it around the
    00:08:13
    egg you put breadcrumbs around that
    00:08:15
    which probably has some sort of egg yolk
    00:08:17
    to stick it together and then you
    00:08:19
    probably bake it or or or something like
    00:08:22
    that and it's absolutely delicious now
    00:08:25
    you can buy these in supermarkets
    00:08:26
    they're very easily attainable but
    00:08:28
    they're dry and
    00:08:29
    disgusting so there's a place in London
    00:08:32
    which you may have heard of called
    00:08:33
    fortam and Mason they're very famous
    00:08:35
    they've been going since about the 18th
    00:08:37
    century and they're probably most
    00:08:38
    notable for providing the queen with all
    00:08:41
    of her um weekly shopping so what I'm
    00:08:45
    doing today is I'm taking the lc500
    00:08:47
    hybrid up to London which is about 30 m
    00:08:49
    or around maybe an hour from where we
    00:08:51
    are now lots of different Road types
    00:08:53
    lots of different driving conditions and
    00:08:56
    on The Voyage to get the most delicious
    00:08:58
    scotch sh I can find I'm going to put
    00:09:01
    the car through its
    00:09:02
    [Music]
    00:09:04
    Paces after leaving the dealership we
    00:09:07
    very briefly drove along some country
    00:09:08
    roads before joining the motorway I'll
    00:09:11
    go into more detail about how the lc500
    00:09:13
    hybrid handles this environment later in
    00:09:15
    the
    00:09:16
    [Music]
    00:09:24
    video so now we're doing some Motorway
    00:09:27
    driving been on here for about 10
    00:09:29
    minutes now so obviously don't have a
    00:09:31
    really in-depth view of it we're in
    00:09:33
    Comfort mode so far once again it's
    00:09:35
    exactly the same as it was on the
    00:09:37
    Country Roads it feels extremely smooth
    00:09:40
    um it's handling the speed very very
    00:09:42
    well altogether this is just a very
    00:09:44
    comfortable car I mean this is built to
    00:09:46
    be a a sporty luxurious GT and from what
    00:09:49
    I can see of course I haven't really put
    00:09:51
    it through its Paces on some proper
    00:09:52
    roads but on the Country Roads we on
    00:09:55
    back there and now on the motorway here
    00:09:57
    it's just it fits its role so perfectly
    00:09:59
    like I said the seat's comfortable we're
    00:10:01
    cruising comfortably at you know the
    00:10:04
    speed limit the car feels very
    00:10:06
    comfortable at the speed limit uh
    00:10:07
    there's a little trailer up ahead so
    00:10:09
    what I'm going to do is I'll give you an
    00:10:10
    example of how well this car overtakes
    00:10:12
    so we're just in Comfort
    00:10:15
    mode I need to wait obviously for the
    00:10:17
    traffic to die down on my right side so
    00:10:18
    I can get past but I'll show you the
    00:10:20
    ease at which this car goes through so
    00:10:23
    we're going to indicate and then check
    00:10:25
    so we're in
    00:10:27
    Comfort just a little little probably
    00:10:29
    about I don't know 50% throttle maybe
    00:10:32
    just to get the car going and then look
    00:10:34
    easy straight
    00:10:37
    past available power when you need it so
    00:10:40
    the two things I found most impressive
    00:10:42
    about this so far one is the sound
    00:10:44
    insulating I'm not sure if you can tell
    00:10:47
    quite how quiet it is in here but I mean
    00:10:49
    we're Motorway driving it's quite a big
    00:10:51
    engine up up front we're going at the
    00:10:53
    speed limit and it's exceptionally quiet
    00:10:57
    really really really is quiet there's
    00:10:58
    nothing else going on and the second
    00:11:00
    thing to add to that is because this is
    00:11:01
    a hybrid powertrain the car is very very
    00:11:04
    quiet until you put your foot down so
    00:11:06
    it's a very relaxed
    00:11:09
    [Music]
    00:11:18
    experience as our journey progresses
    00:11:20
    when we move closer and closer into
    00:11:22
    London we get more confined in our space
    00:11:25
    and it's given me a good opportunity to
    00:11:27
    test out the visibility so so far what I
    00:11:29
    can conclude is that the mirrors the
    00:11:32
    exterior mirrors being quite large mean
    00:11:35
    that I can position the car quite easily
    00:11:37
    I can I feel like I can see where the
    00:11:39
    car is in the lane I can see where the
    00:11:41
    additional vehicles are and on the edge
    00:11:43
    there are some proximity sensors as well
    00:11:46
    uh which is really useful the main
    00:11:48
    mirror in the center the rearview mirror
    00:11:51
    uh is quite large it's Auto
    00:11:53
    dimming uh so generally despite this top
    00:11:57
    bit being quite sort of low
    00:11:59
    the exterior visibility of the car I
    00:12:01
    would say is pretty good you feel like
    00:12:02
    you can uh place the car in lane very
    00:12:05
    [Music]
    00:12:14
    easily so we've reached greater London
    00:12:16
    if you are unfamiliar with the uh area
    00:12:21
    sort of just surrounding Central London
    00:12:23
    unsurprisingly um now we're getting into
    00:12:25
    real City driving so we've even got some
    00:12:27
    sort of speed bumps to contend with as
    00:12:28
    well
    00:12:29
    which the car is actually dealing with
    00:12:31
    really
    00:12:36
    well so as I was saying before it has a
    00:12:38
    very very smooth ride and that's most
    00:12:41
    notable over these speed bumps it feels
    00:12:43
    very very
    00:12:44
    relaxed not jarring at
    00:12:50
    all after spending some time admiring
    00:12:52
    the car's reflection we headed down the
    00:12:54
    home of the UK Supercar scene the
    00:12:55
    legendary SLO Street and unsurprisingly
    00:12:58
    we came across some car spotters as we
    00:13:00
    slowly drove past they simply had to
    00:13:02
    tear themselves away from the aventor SV
    00:13:04
    they were photographing and instead get
    00:13:06
    the
    00:13:08
    Lexus right we finally made it into
    00:13:10
    Central London we've just gone past
    00:13:12
    Harolds weren't exactly a lot of people
    00:13:14
    there so now we're going to head to uh
    00:13:16
    St James's Square when we can test the
    00:13:18
    parking ability of the lc500 hybrid and
    00:13:21
    also we can finally go and get the
    00:13:23
    delicious treats I was talking about
    00:13:25
    earlier in the video um couple of people
    00:13:27
    having a little look it's pretty
    00:13:28
    interesting to see their reactions I
    00:13:30
    found to put the wing up you have to be
    00:13:31
    stationary with your foot on the brake
    00:13:33
    and then you can manually put the wing
    00:13:35
    up personally I think it looks really
    00:13:37
    really really good with the wing up on
    00:13:38
    SLO Street there are lots of buildings
    00:13:40
    with glass uh faes and Frontiers and
    00:13:42
    things and the reflection of the car
    00:13:44
    going across the window is amazing it
    00:13:47
    looks so futuristic it it looks like a
    00:13:49
    concept car it sort of doesn't look like
    00:13:51
    a normal Road car so now we can also
    00:13:53
    test the car's start stop sort of
    00:13:56
    capability um start stop driving as as
    00:13:58
    well now we're driving sort of into
    00:14:01
    Mayfair Direction um lots of stopping
    00:14:04
    starting stopping starting good thing
    00:14:07
    about the gearbox it's nice and smooth
    00:14:09
    so just thought you feel sort of
    00:14:10
    seamlessly uh transitioned through the
    00:14:13
    gears despite the fact that London has
    00:14:15
    notoriously terrible
    00:14:17
    roads so you hear that even my glamorous
    00:14:20
    assistant is comfortable despite
    00:14:23
    notoriously terrible roads in London the
    00:14:25
    the car has a creep function like most
    00:14:27
    um automatic cars so you release the
    00:14:30
    brake the car creeps forward very very
    00:14:32
    slowly then you can very easily engage
    00:14:35
    the uh accelerator
    00:14:37
    pedal um and more it's a very it's not a
    00:14:40
    jerky type of acceleration so it's you
    00:14:42
    don't feel it in sort of steps it's very
    00:14:44
    very smooth uh which makes this s this
    00:14:46
    sort of um communicating communication
    00:14:49
    through traffic very easy the brake
    00:14:51
    itself there is a regenerative braking
    00:14:53
    function um I think you can sort of feel
    00:14:55
    that a bit which is why depressing it
    00:14:58
    can feel a little bit but there's a bit
    00:14:59
    more different type of resistance than
    00:15:01
    in other cars that I felt but um it's
    00:15:03
    very very smooth just as the accelerator
    00:15:06
    you don't have to depress that harshly
    00:15:08
    really it's sort of a very smooth
    00:15:12
    understandable
    00:15:18
    [Music]
    00:15:26
    reaction right so the next challenge is
    00:15:29
    to park this thing I finally found a
    00:15:31
    space see how easy it is to
    00:15:39
    park we do have a reversing
    00:15:57
    camera quite close on that side I have
    00:15:59
    to
    00:16:09
    say we're a little bit close on that
    00:16:11
    side so I just want to move it forward a
    00:16:13
    little
    00:16:27
    bit
    00:16:37
    okay there we go done
    00:16:40
    parked so the the wing mirar is actually
    00:16:42
    tilt and
    00:16:43
    change uh when the car's going into
    00:16:46
    reverse and stuff which is a really
    00:16:48
    useful function right so we just parked
    00:16:51
    the car as you saw um it was made very
    00:16:53
    easy for two main factors first of all
    00:16:55
    the folding Wing mirrors they didn't
    00:16:57
    just fold in but they actually folded
    00:16:58
    down so I had better visibility of
    00:17:01
    Curves of lines different things like
    00:17:02
    that the second thing was the large
    00:17:05
    reversing camera screen so of course the
    00:17:07
    screen doesn't actually change but one
    00:17:08
    of the the good feature is that the
    00:17:10
    reversing camera itself fills up the
    00:17:12
    entire screen with um little lines that
    00:17:14
    Bend round I understand it's a common
    00:17:16
    feature but I found it very very useful
    00:17:19
    um anyway so now parked up we're both
    00:17:21
    starving cuz it's lunchtime as you can
    00:17:23
    see by everyone queuing up for their
    00:17:24
    lunch and we're heading over to Portland
    00:17:26
    Mason to grab the tasty treats I told
    00:17:27
    you about earlier
    00:17:35
    [Music]
    00:17:38
    there they
    00:17:39
    are what we've come all this way to
    00:17:44
    achieve are you excited Jim I'm very
    00:17:47
    excited you excited for Scot Che love a
    00:17:50
    Scott Che going to have a Scott Che
    00:17:51
    thank very much
    00:17:53
    cheers mission accomplished we've come
    00:17:57
    all this way spent all this money
    00:17:59
    and we have the four Scotch eggs it's
    00:18:02
    fantastic it's beautiful it's amazing I
    00:18:04
    cannot wait to dive straight into
    00:18:06
    [Music]
    00:18:23
    one made it back to the car treats in
    00:18:26
    hand this actually makes a good test to
    00:18:29
    uh see the boot space now in the hybrid
    00:18:32
    there's 172 L of boot space it's not a
    00:18:34
    huge amount it's actually down because
    00:18:36
    of the hybrid drive system it's down 20
    00:18:38
    L on the V8 so if you come in and take a
    00:18:41
    closer look have a look in inside we've
    00:18:44
    just got some like generic camera
    00:18:45
    equipment in here that we had um in the
    00:18:48
    car obviously this isn't going to take
    00:18:50
    up much room but I mean you could
    00:18:52
    probably fit
    00:18:53
    some um small bags in there if you're
    00:18:56
    going you can probably fit a small
    00:18:58
    family shop as well so really it's a
    00:19:00
    fairly usable
    00:19:27
    car with our valuable cargo now on board
    00:19:30
    it was time to head out of London and
    00:19:31
    back to the relative Tranquility of the
    00:19:33
    countryside however there were some
    00:19:35
    important tests still to
    00:19:37
    [Music]
    00:19:43
    undertake basically the entire time
    00:19:45
    we've been in the car we've been
    00:19:46
    utilizing Comfort mode but the car does
    00:19:48
    have multiple Drive modes it has Eco
    00:19:50
    Comfort Sport and Sport Plus each of
    00:19:53
    these as with other Drive modes and
    00:19:54
    other cars they become gradually more
    00:19:57
    aggressive as you go up in comfort as
    00:19:59
    we're in now it's a very very relaxed
    00:20:01
    driving Dynamic there's probably slower
    00:20:03
    gear changes the steering column is very
    00:20:06
    soft and smooth and so is the suspension
    00:20:08
    as you progress through the driving
    00:20:09
    modes from Eco normal sport to Sport
    00:20:12
    Plus the car will become more stiff the
    00:20:16
    suspension will become more rigid uh the
    00:20:18
    steering feel will become a lot harder
    00:20:21
    as well and the uh the car will
    00:20:24
    accelerate faster we can experiment with
    00:20:26
    these modes a little bit later probably
    00:20:27
    when we end up hitting more sort of open
    00:20:29
    road because there's obviously a lot
    00:20:30
    going on at the moment it's harder to
    00:20:32
    really embrace it one other thing that I
    00:20:34
    can mention is that there are three
    00:20:36
    different ways to change gear in this
    00:20:37
    car so firstly you can just leave the
    00:20:39
    car in automatic mode in standard auto
    00:20:42
    mode you can let the car do all of the
    00:20:43
    changes itself the 10-speed automatic
    00:20:46
    gearbox is very very smooth you can kind
    00:20:48
    of tell when it's changing gear but it's
    00:20:50
    not a jerky or jolting sensation you can
    00:20:52
    also change gear using the paddles
    00:20:54
    behind the wheel um haven't experimented
    00:20:56
    with that yet but we will do you can and
    00:20:59
    you can put the actual Drive selector
    00:21:01
    centrally into manual mode and then sort
    00:21:04
    of sequentially push down for down a
    00:21:06
    gear will push up for up I think we
    00:21:07
    should also experience that later in the
    00:21:09
    [Music]
    00:21:27
    video
    00:21:29
    [Music]
    00:21:32
    so now we're on the motorway I think
    00:21:34
    it's time to test out how responsive and
    00:21:35
    Slick the manual shifting capabilities
    00:21:37
    of this car are so first of all we're
    00:21:39
    going to shift down using the paddles
    00:21:40
    first of all I have to say the paddles
    00:21:42
    are really nice I imagine they're M from
    00:21:44
    aluminium or something they feel very
    00:21:45
    smooth and they're quite large as well
    00:21:48
    you if you're holding the top at sort of
    00:21:49
    the 10 and two position or the bottom of
    00:21:51
    the steering wheel you'll still be able
    00:21:53
    to um access them so if we move down
    00:21:56
    it's pretty much instantaneous if you
    00:21:58
    look at the number on the dash it
    00:22:00
    changes over very very
    00:22:02
    quickly and it just takes
    00:22:04
    over going back into uh auto mode it's
    00:22:08
    not a particularly hot day the uh Thum
    00:22:10
    outside saying it's about 24° for some
    00:22:13
    reason this car it seems to be like a
    00:22:16
    heat sink it gets so incredibly hot in
    00:22:18
    here with the windows up but there's a
    00:22:20
    really really good airon system where
    00:22:22
    the vents have quite uh wide uh
    00:22:24
    divisions between each slap um and it's
    00:22:27
    literally ice it's on low at the moment
    00:22:29
    so there's uh one in the middle sort of
    00:22:32
    on the center Center column there's one
    00:22:34
    over here for me and then there's two on
    00:22:36
    the passenger side uh they seem to be
    00:22:39
    pretty effective so I mean cooling isn't a
    00:22:42
    problem whatsoever even on like a a
    00:22:44
    rarely a fairly sort of mild day for the
    00:22:47
    UK um in sort of stopt traffic on a main
    00:22:50
    Motorway so as well as adjusting the air
    00:22:52
    conditioning which is done on the
    00:22:53
    controls along here which is actually
    00:22:55
    fairly easy to use you may also want to
    00:22:58
    change the settings on the main display
    00:23:00
    uh you know to change radio station or
    00:23:02
    to change the direction of travel you
    00:23:04
    know etc etc this can all be done on the
    00:23:06
    main um touch interface down here if you
    00:23:10
    have bottles and different things it can
    00:23:11
    be quite difficult to access um and
    00:23:14
    because it's it's quite an independ
    00:23:16
    individual system not many have a system
    00:23:19
    that's quite like that it takes a bit of
    00:23:21
    getting used to I mean this is obviously
    00:23:23
    the first day I've actually had time
    00:23:24
    with the car and you know having to take
    00:23:28
    my eyes off the screen for quite a while
    00:23:30
    to navigate to where I want to using the
    00:23:32
    touchpad is a little bit distracting in
    00:23:35
    my opinion and probably take a bit of
    00:23:37
    time getting used to of course you can
    00:23:39
    use the direct um select buttons ahead
    00:23:41
    so I can just press that and it goes
    00:23:43
    straight to radio press that it goes
    00:23:45
    straight to
    00:23:46
    Media um or I can go to map for example
    00:23:49
    so I mean that isn't too bad that's
    00:23:51
    quite easy in itself I mean any system
    00:23:53
    can be quite difficult to get get to use
    00:23:55
    to if if you're like in a brand new car
    00:23:57
    that you have no idea of how to use
    00:23:59
    properly but I suppose the real question
    00:24:01
    is is the user interface in this car and
    00:24:04
    the controls done it is it particularly
    00:24:06
    difficult to use is it user friendly I
    00:24:08
    would have to say it's fairly
    00:24:11
    complicated but it's less complicated
    00:24:13
    than older Lexus that i' that I've used
    00:24:16
    it's more straightforward to use um and
    00:24:18
    they've changed the system from having
    00:24:19
    the the sort of mouse cursor type thing
    00:24:22
    that you could move around like in the
    00:24:24
    rx450 it's moved back to the trackpad in
    00:24:28
    this car which is simple just sort of
    00:24:30
    Grays over it and then a double tap to
    00:24:32
    select so overall because it's um a
    00:24:36
    different type of system than I'm I'm
    00:24:38
    quite used to yes it will probably take
    00:24:39
    some time to get you know to get used to
    00:24:41
    but overall I don't think it's um a
    00:24:44
    particularly difficult system to use as
    00:24:46
    I approach the end of my day with the
    00:24:48
    lc500 hybrid what are three main things
    00:24:50
    I can say about it well the first is
    00:24:53
    that it's like with the rx450 hybrid I
    00:24:55
    drove a few months ago it's riding is
    00:24:58
    exceptionally smooth it's very very easy
    00:25:01
    to drive I've actually had a really
    00:25:02
    really great time in it the second point
    00:25:04
    I want to raise is that the powertrain
    00:25:06
    is very subtle but it has power when you
    00:25:09
    need it so we're just cruising around
    00:25:11
    right now at speed limit and it's very
    00:25:13
    easy to to sort of to do that but if I
    00:25:15
    need to maneuver into a different lane
    00:25:17
    or if I need to make an overtake the car
    00:25:19
    has the punch to be able to provide that
    00:25:22
    in a very smooth effective manner but
    00:25:25
    the power doesn't feel overwhelming so
    00:25:26
    once again that ties into the first
    00:25:28
    point of this being very easy to drive
    00:25:30
    the third thing is how well everything
    00:25:32
    is built I love the style of everything
    00:25:34
    the door handles the
    00:25:35
    Alcantara uh the wheel itself is very
    00:25:39
    nice especially the outside what the
    00:25:41
    amount of looks we've got in London
    00:25:43
    proves is that the guys at Lexus have
    00:25:44
    done very very well to bring a car so
    00:25:46
    close to a concept car into
    00:25:56
    reality
    00:25:59
    so after all of that Madness in London I
    00:26:01
    think it's time for a little bit of a
    00:26:02
    break so we've pulled up one one of my
    00:26:04
    favorite spots people who watch my
    00:26:06
    content regularly may have seen this
    00:26:07
    before I just want to highlight just a
    00:26:10
    couple
    00:26:11
    things about the LC now that the sun has
    00:26:14
    is out well it it was out first of all
    00:26:17
    is the
    00:26:18
    paint U this has actually got a
    00:26:20
    pearlescent paint there a couple
    00:26:22
    different types but now the sort of
    00:26:23
    sun's out I really hope that you can see
    00:26:26
    all the different the ENT nature of the
    00:26:28
    paint coming out look at it's beautiful
    00:26:32
    the second is that this actually has a
    00:26:33
    carbon fiber roof because this is the
    00:26:35
    sport version I imagine that does
    00:26:37
    actively help to decrease a car's center
    00:26:39
    of gravity but it also looks great so in
    00:26:42
    another way the weight is kept down in
    00:26:44
    this car other than the carbon roof is
    00:26:46
    that a lot of carbon fiber is used so
    00:26:48
    that you've got a lot of carbon fiber
    00:26:49
    here in it sort of raw form it feels
    00:26:52
    pretty nice it's not just a panel bolted
    00:26:54
    on but um it means that the doors are
    00:26:57
    actually pretty easy to open and close
    00:26:59
    and I like the um the mechanism on them
    00:27:03
    that you can really snap it into place
    00:27:04
    quite easily and they're not hard to
    00:27:06
    open despite actually being quite long
    00:27:08
    like I was saying before there's a
    00:27:09
    central column in the middle if you push
    00:27:11
    this down and pull it back you can
    00:27:13
    access so like a drinks holder and maybe
    00:27:16
    something your phone or the key there's
    00:27:18
    a little bit to the side here if you
    00:27:19
    pull that up and pull it around there's
    00:27:21
    a little storage space in the middle so
    00:27:22
    if you get a little clip of that I had
    00:27:24
    this is a glasses case for like a normal
    00:27:26
    pair of Ray bands
    00:27:28
    that's the size you've also got USB um
    00:27:31
    orc auxiliary and uh the 12vt socket as
    00:27:34
    well so that's in there and then if we
    00:27:36
    come around to the front over here
    00:27:39
    there's also the glove compartment so
    00:27:41
    you open it pressing a little button on
    00:27:42
    top I have to say it's pretty bad
    00:27:46
    storage space I mean and that's it I
    00:27:49
    mean there is a book in there as well
    00:27:51
    but we look inside there's not a huge
    00:27:53
    amount of space I think that's probably
    00:27:55
    because of the way they've designed the
    00:27:57
    the uh air vents up the top here this
    00:28:00
    little leather panel there's this little
    00:28:02
    space at the front here so you can keep
    00:28:04
    the key there usually it resides under
    00:28:06
    this little pops you just pop that open
    00:28:08
    and then bam you just put your little
    00:28:10
    glass bottle or key or anything in there
    00:28:13
    and um yeah from the inside that's
    00:28:15
    that's pretty much it so a round trip to
    00:28:17
    London just to get the little things in
    00:28:19
    this box I think it's probably about
    00:28:21
    time we had a look and had one so if you
    00:28:23
    come closer take a little look these
    00:28:26
    little things here
    00:28:28
    are uh Scotch eggs so we got the
    00:28:30
    breadcrumb around the edges with the
    00:28:32
    sausage meat and then a boiled egg on
    00:28:34
    the inside now some of you may think
    00:28:36
    that sounds absolutely disgusting maybe
    00:28:38
    I'm a disgusting person but I'm I'm an
    00:28:40
    English man all the way to my heart this
    00:28:42
    is English food so I'm looking forward
    00:28:44
    to getting stuck in this is the inside
    00:28:46
    of a scotch egg we traveled so far for
    00:28:48
    this I thought I'd show
    00:28:49
    you breadcrumbs the meat and the Egg
    00:28:52
    itself this thing is absolutely
    00:28:54
    delicious and especially from for Mason
    00:28:56
    it's moist it's juicy this is not an
    00:28:59
    advert or a paid placement or anything I
    00:29:00
    just absolutely love these with my
    00:29:02
    Scotch Che now finished I think it's
    00:29:03
    unfortunately time to hand the car back
    00:29:05
    which means getting in it and have one
    00:29:06
    one final drive back to Lexus
    00:29:14
    Gilford start the car up it's time to go
    00:29:17
    oh I have to say this is a genuinely
    00:29:19
    special car and I know I don't have a
    00:29:22
    huge amount of experience testing cars
    00:29:24
    and any car that I really go in that's a
    00:29:26
    bit different is going to probably make
    00:29:28
    me feel very excited and that's probably
    00:29:30
    an issue from a lack of experience but I
    00:29:33
    genuinely genuinely really like this car
    00:29:35
    and it's a shame I have to give it back
    00:29:37
    before we go I'm just going to show you
    00:29:39
    the Turning Circle I'm actually
    00:29:41
    genuinely impressed with the Turning
    00:29:56
    Circle
    00:30:11
    this Lexus feels exceptionally
    00:30:13
    maneuverable it feels very agile and it
    00:30:16
    it it does its job perfectly it's a GT
    00:30:18
    it it it it is a GT that's what it is
    00:30:21
    it's quintessentially a
    00:30:26
    GT
    00:30:56
    oh
    00:31:26
    w
    00:31:56
    oh
    00:32:05
    so what did that spirited Countryside
    00:32:07
    road driving in Sport Plus mode tell me
    00:32:09
    about the car well it told me that it's
    00:32:11
    very well balanced very good traction
    00:32:14
    the everything tightens up but not too
    00:32:16
    much it doesn't lose the GT
    00:32:19
    feel but it did actually sort of confuse
    00:32:22
    the
    00:32:23
    gearbox it was sort of getting confused
    00:32:25
    whether it should change up or change
    00:32:26
    down
    00:32:27
    um for that type of driving I'd probably
    00:32:29
    say using the paddles or the manual sort
    00:32:32
    of sequential shift would be more
    00:32:33
    appropriate um but other than that the
    00:32:35
    car felt very stable and the traction
    00:32:37
    felt good and the uh accelerator and
    00:32:40
    Brake both felt very
    00:32:41
    responsive a back to Lexus Guilford I
    00:32:45
    brought the car back to its
    00:32:48
    home and I don't want to give it back
    00:32:51
    not honestly I really don't want to give
    00:32:53
    the car back I suppose they were good
    00:32:55
    enough to give it to me so I have to
    00:32:57
    press park for the last time down here
    00:33:00
    and then uh turn it off with
    00:33:03
    this and then say goodbye to the Lexus
    00:33:06
    LC 500 hybrid the day has finished our
    00:33:10
    adventure with the LC
    00:33:11
    500 and I'm actually pretty upset to be
    00:33:14
    honest it's experiences like this that
    00:33:16
    make me remember why I'm a car person
    00:33:19
    and why I try to make the best videos I
    00:33:22
    can so hopefully you can have an insight
    00:33:24
    into something like this as well um to
    00:33:27
    experience this car I mean a lot of
    00:33:28
    people to be honest let's let's face it
    00:33:30
    a lot of people don't rate Lexus and
    00:33:33
    hopefully by showing you this content I
    00:33:34
    can prove that you really really should
    00:33:36
    and opinion needs to change because
    00:33:38
    they're producing products like this so
    00:33:41
    I have to close the door for one final
    00:33:42
    time even though that's the passenger
    00:33:44
    door and I actually have to say a
    00:33:46
    humongous thank you to Lexus Guilford
    00:33:49
    you can see behind me there for giving
    00:33:51
    me this opportunity I was actually one
    00:33:53

    in detail with with my in-depth video
    00:33:57
