Additionally, standalone options like upgraded 19-inch wheels, heated steering wheel, sunroof, and triple-beam LED headlights are available. 

The Perfect Ride For...

The Lexus RC is perfect for the sophisticated driver that demands sportiness, responsiveness, and luxury. Buyers will love that Lexus is incorporating the most sophisticated technology in the RC while also prioritizing the driver's experience and comfort. Designed from the outside in to turn heads, the Lexus RC is sure to be a showstopper. With a refined quality, tons of trim levels to choose from, and an array of both standard and optional features, the RC is poised to be a success.

Drive and Handling

The 2021 rear-wheel drive Lexus RC 300 is powered by a four-cylinder engine that produces 241 horsepower and is tied to a smooth-shifting eight-speed automatic transmission. The all-wheel drive RC 300 gets a power bump, offering 260 horsepower. The 3.5-liter V6 engine of the RC 350 produces 311 horsepower with the same 8-speed automatic transmission as the RC 300. The RC 350 is also available with either all-wheel drive or rear-wheel drive. No matter the model is chosen, the RC delivers superb ride comfort and responsive steering that is ideal for enthusiastic drivers. If none of those engines offer enough spunk, then the 5.0-liter V8 on the RC F models delivers an adrenaline-rushing 472 horsepower. Engineered to deliver best in class power, the RC F offers lightning-quick acceleration, enhanced torque, and an exhaust note that will please any enthusiast. 

Key Features

Lexus Safety System+

Designed for fewer accidents and safer drivers, the Lexus Safety System+ includes a number of features that are truly pioneering the automotive industry. The high-speed dynamic radar cruise control system utilizes radar and cameras to enable the driver to maintain both a preset speed and distance from other vehicles. If the car gets closer than the preset distance, speed is automatically reduced until the road is clear when the Lexus RC accelerates to its preset speed. Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist utilizes a camera to monitor lane markings on the road to ensure that the RC is traveling within its lane. If the system detects that the vehicle is veering, audible and visual warnings will emit along with vibrations on the steering wheel. If the driver does not respond, steering assist will automatically engage with a slight pull of the steering wheel. 

Connectivity

Every RC is standard with Android Auto™ and Apple CarPlay® so you can easily connect to your smartphone for access to your favorite apps, send text messages, and use Google Maps. Additionally, with the Lexus + Alexa app, you can listen to audiobooks, make a shopping list, check the weather, and much more from the comfort of your Lexus RC. The 10.3-inch multimedia display allows you to control these features seamlessly. Navigation offers turn-by-turn directions to your destination. You can also viewpoints of interest, live traffic data, 3D city views, and speed limit information to make your next trip more convenient.

Alternative Options

For drivers that are craving a sporty sedan experience, the Lexus ES might be a better fit. This model channels the performance of the brand with an understated four-door design that makes it convenient and great for families. For those who are ready to jump into a new SUV, the Lexus UX is a modern take on a classic design with sleek lines and luxurious appointments.
