Lexus LC vs Jaguar F-Type: Infotainment systems

With dramatic looks and V8 power, Lexus’s new LC coupé is a quirky alternative to Jaguar’s F-Type R. Let’s see which one you should buy

Infotainment systems

Jaguar F-Type

Our Jaguar F-Type was fitted with an 8.0in touchscreen, but, if you order one now you will get a 10.0in system running Jaguar’s latest Touch Pro software. We’ve tested this system in other cars and although it’s reasonably quick to respond, it can be a bit fiddly to operate on the move, because it’s controlled entirely through the touchscreen. A handy feature of the system is the ability to control certain functions, such as air-con, remotely from your phone through an app.

Lexus LC

The Lexus LC has a 10.25in infotainment system as standard, controlled via shortcut buttons and a fiddly laptop-style touchpad between the front seats. You get sat-nav, a DAB radio and Bluetooth, but operating it while driving is very difficult. Unfortunately, there’s no hope of alleviating some of the frustrations by using your smartphone instead, because Android Auto and Apple CarPlay phone mirroring aren’t available in either car.
