Current Lexus convertibles
Here is the current lineup of Lexus convertibles in production.
- Lexus LC 500 Convertible (2019–present)
The LC 500 Convertible is the sole open-top model in Lexus's modern lineup, pairing a V8 soundtrack with a luxury grand-touring silhouette.
Past Lexus convertibles
Historically, Lexus offered a couple of full convertibles in different eras, along with concept previews that did not reach production.
- Lexus SC 430 (2002–2010) — a full-size luxury hardtop convertible with a V8 engine
- Lexus IS C (2009–2013) — IS 250C/IS 350C, a compact executive convertible
- Lexus RC Convertible concept (unproduced) — preview shown at auto shows, not released to production
These models represent Lexus's past forays into convertibles, with the SC 430 and IS C being the actual production cars and the RC Convertible existing only as a concept.
Future prospects
As of 2024–2025, Lexus has not announced new production convertibles beyond the LC 500 Convertible. Any future open-top models would be announced through official channels and are not yet confirmed.
Summary
Lexus currently offers one production convertible: the LC 500 Convertible. In the past, the brand sold the SC 430 and IS C as production convertibles, with the RC Convertible existing only as a concept. For enthusiasts seeking an open-top Lexus today, the LC 500 Convertible remains the available option.
