2020 Lexus LC transmission: CVT or automatic?
Some do: the 3.5L 6-cylinder hybrid uses a CVT (continuously variable, 10 simulated steps); the 5.0L 8-cylinder uses a 10-speed automatic.
Key takeaways
- 2 EPA-certified configurations listed for the 2020 Lexus LC.
- CVTs need CVT-specific fluid - never top one up with ordinary automatic transmission fluid.
- The transmission can differ by engine and drive layout, so match your row by engine size.
| Engine | Transmission | EPA code | Drive |
