2025 Bentley Flying Spur vs 2025 Lexus LC

$272,300 · Sedan

$99,750 · Coupe

Comparison Overview

Choosing between absolute luxury and high-end performance can be tough, especially when the price gap is staggering. The 2025 Bentley Flying Spur starts at a commanding $272,300, making the $99,750 Lexus LC look like the sensible choice purely on sticker price. However, raw power favors the Bentley, boasting 771 hp and 738 lb-ft of torque compared to the LC's 471 hp. While both demand premium fuel, the Bentley offers a short 30-mile electric range boost, a feature the Lexus entirely lacks. Fuel economy is surprisingly similar for these powerhouses, with the Flying Spur achieving 19 MPG combined versus the LC's 18 MPG combined. Ultimately, this comparison pits raw, immense capability against a highly stylish, yet significantly less powerful, personal luxury coupe.
