Lexus has set a benchmark for other brands to follow with its sports coupe—the RC. The brand has upped its game by merging technology and luxury in a compact design. The Lexus RC redefines luxury vehicles with a sporty twist. With its roomy interior and smooth riding experience, this could be the perfect car for you. So here is everything the Lexus RC has in store for potential buyers.

Engine
The base model, i.e., the RC 300, has a turbocharged 4-cylinder engine with 241 horsepower.

Interiors
The Lexus RC’s front bucket seats are easy to access despite the coupe’s low height. This is because it has spacious doors and modest lower cushion lateral bolsters that are easy to slide over while going in and out. The car seats are covered in tough and hygienic NuLuxe imitation leather. All trim levels of the automobile have front seats that are heated and have power adjustments. For both the drivetrains, the Lexus RC offers heated and ventilated front seats as well as a memory function for the driver’s seat. What’s more? You also get a heated steering wheel. The rear seatbacks are split 60/40. When folded down, they make a roomy, continuous compartment with a 10.4-cubic-foot trunk for hauling goods like a step ladder, golf equipment, and other things.

Exterior styling
The Lexus RC features a welded-steel unibody, making it extremely safe and secure on the road. In addition, the car delivers superior power quality with its 14-inch alloy wheels, featuring high-quality brakes that consist of brake rotors and multi-piston calipers. The car also features bumper corners, triple-stacked LED headlights (on premium trims), and L-shaped daytime running lights (DRLs). It looks fantastic as a hardtop coupe, and the overall appearance gets even more aggressive in the F Sport and RC F versions.

Safety

Like other Lexus models, the RC is equipped with the Lexus Safety System+ and advanced driving assistance technology. For instance, the car provides improved functionality to easily detect pedestrians, bicyclists, and oncoming traffic. In addition, the RC is equipped with features like automated high-beam headlights, adaptive cruise control, automated emergency braking systems, and lane departure warning. Lexus has added a park-assist system to the RC sports trim. This system uses sonar to detect things close to the front or back bumper and shows an overhead picture of the RC with the closing distance and potential collision spot. It also emits urgent warning beeps as the RC approaches obstacles.

Price
While the base model of the Lexus RC starts at $44,000, premium trims that include more features can go up to $52,000.

While the Lexus RC is not designed to be a sports car, it is a luxurious vehicle with a conscience. Lexus has offered this two-door coupe as a perfect blend of sport and luxury along with a host of features; not many cars can manage this feat so effortlessly. Overall, it is an interesting option that you should explore if you are looking for a sports coupe.
