Let's take a closer look at some notable features of the hybrid SUV.

The heart of the LC 300 is the 3.5-litre twin-turbo V6 petrol engine paired with a single electric motor that pumps out a maximum power output of 457bhp, and a peak torque of 790Nm, an increase of around 54bhp and 140Nm over the standard counterpart.
