Compare the2025 Lexus LCVS 2025 Bentley Continental GT

The LC’s driver alert monitor detects an inattentive driver then sounds a warning and suggests a break. According to the NHTSA, drivers who fall asleep cause about 100,000 crashes and 1500 deaths a year. The Continental GT doesn’t offer a driver alert monitor.

Both the LC and the Continental GT have standard driver and passenger frontal airbags, front side-impact airbags, driver and front passenger knee airbags, front and rear seatbelt pretensioners, four-wheel antilock brakes, traction control, electronic stability systems to prevent skidding, crash mitigating brakes, post-collision automatic braking systems, daytime running lights, lane departure warning systems, blind spot warning systems, around view monitors and rear cross-path warning.

The LC comes with a full 4-year/50,000-mile basic warranty, which covers the entire car and includes 24-hour roadside assistance. The Continental GT’s 3-year basic warranty expires 1 year sooner.

Lexus’ powertrain warranty covers the LC 3 years longer than Bentley covers the Continental GT. Any repair needed on the engine, transmission, axles, joints or driveshafts is fully covered for 6 years or 70,000 miles. Coverage on the Continental GT ends after only 3 years.

The LC’s corrosion warranty is 3 years longer than the Continental GT’s (6 vs. 3 years).

There are over 5 times as many Lexus dealers as there are Bentley dealers, which makes it much easier should you ever need service under the LC’s warranty.

J.D. Power and Associates rated the LC first among compact premium sporty cars in their 2024 Initial Quality Study. The Continental GT isn’t in the top three in its category.

The LC Hybrid’s standard fuel tank has 1.2 gallons more fuel capacity than the Continental GT (22.2 vs. 21 gallons).

A 10-speed automatic is standard on the Lexus LC, for better acceleration and lower engine speed on the highway. Only an eight-speed automatic is available for the Continental GT.

The LC 500h has a standard continuously variable transmission (CVT). With no “steps” between gears, it can keep the engine at the most efficient speed for fuel economy, or keep it at its peak horsepower indefinitely for maximum acceleration. The Continental GT doesn’t offer a CVT.

The LC stops shorter than the Continental GT:

Changing a flat tire near traffic can be dangerous and inconvenient. The run-flat tires standard on the LC can be driven up to 50 miles without any air pressure, allowing you to drive to a service station for a repair. The Continental GT doesn’t offer run-flat tires.

For a smoother ride and more stable handling, the LC’s wheelbase is longer than on the Continental GT:

For better maneuverability, the LC Active Rear Steering’s turning circle is 2.3 feet tighter than the Continental GT’s (34.8 feet vs. 37.1 feet). The LC’s turning circle is 1.7 feet tighter than the Continental GT’s (35.4 feet vs. 37.1 feet).

The Lexus LC may be more efficient, handle and accelerate better because it weighs about 1100 to 1250 pounds less than the Bentley Continental GT.

The LC is 5.3 inches shorter than the Continental GT, making the LC easier to handle, maneuver and park in tight spaces.

The LC Convertible uses computer-generated active noise cancellation to help remove annoying noise and vibration from the passenger compartment, especially at low frequencies. The Continental GT doesn’t offer active noise cancellation.

If the front windows are left open on the LC the driver can close them at the outside door handle. On a hot day the driver can lower the windows at the outside door handle or from a distance using the keyless remote. (This window function must be activated by your Lexus service department.) The driver of the Continental GT can’t use the remote to operate the windows.

The LC’s power window, power lock, power mirror and cruise control switches are lit from behind, making them plainly visible and easier to operate at night. The Continental GT’s cruise control switches are unlit, making them difficult to find at night and operate safely.

The Lexus LC has a standard Homelink wireless remote control system for garage door operation and device management, conveniently located on the rear view mirror. Homelink® eliminates the need for separate garage door openers and associated risks of losing, breaking, or having dead batteries. Bentley charges extra for Homelink® on the Continental GT.

J.D. Power and Associates rated the LC first among compact premium sporty cars in owner reported satisfaction. This includes how well the vehicle performs and satisfies its owner’s expectations. The Continental GT isn’t in the top three.
