2015 Lexus RC Used Price Estimates

Lexus' new coupe comes in two main forms: the RC 350 and the RC F. The RC 350 is intended to be the mainstream model and the most popular seller, while the RC F is a more exclusive, track-ready high-performance machine. The RC 350 offers a satisfying and sporty ride. Its ride isn't as pillow-soft as a Lexus ES, nor is it intended to be. The RC's suspension is tuned to hug corners, which makes it stiff on rough roads. Highway cruising, however, is refined. The RC 350's 306-horsepower V6 offers plenty of gusto and transmits a surprisingly satisfying exhaust note. RWD models enjoy a smooth 8-speed transmission, while AWD variants use an older and slightly rougher 6-speed auto (the Lexus RC does not offer a manual transmission). The 467-horsepower RC F has two personalities. On the road it's as refined as the RC 350. On the track, it's an absolute howl.

G-SENSOR AI-SHIFT CONTROLReads like alphabet soup, works like magic. The 2015 RC coupe uses a G-force sensor to judge which gear is optimal when driven in the more aggressive Sport mode. This works well on a curvy road and shines on a track, where it makes novices feel anything but.MARK LEVINSON AUDIO WITH CLARI-FI TECHNOLOGYHow do you make today's low-res music worthy of a 17-speaker audiophile setup? The optional Mark Levinson system in the Lexus RC uses Clari-Fi technology to analyze a digital audio signal and correct and amplify as needed. It's among the first use of Clari-Fi in a car, adding to the RC's appeal.

We'd call the 2015 Lexus RC comfortably snug. Though it technically seats four passengers, the rear is very tight for adults, and the coupe's sloping roof is attractive on the outside but skull-scraping within. The situation is much improved up front where it counts. The seats are comfortable in all trims and feature extra bolstering in RC 350 F Sport and RC F models. With the 7-inch display, rounded dashboard and angled audio/climate control interface, the dash is a busy place. In AWD models, there’s a hump near the driver's right calf from the differential housing. Make sure this doesn't impede your driving position.

As with the interior, the Lexus RC's outward design is potentially polarizing. Some people may not even realize this is a Lexus. Known more for its conservative sedans, the automaker has deliberately gone for sex appeal with the RC. We believe it has worked with this coupe's prominent curves and muscular bulges. Every angle of the RC has interesting details. There's Lexus' signature spindle grille up front (RC F models get the extra-extra-large version, along with a raised hood to accommodate its V8), a smattering of fins on the sides, and twin tailpipes in back (the RC F boasts quad outlets).

A 2015 Lexus RC 350 coupe offers quite a bit even in base trim. Included are automatic climate control, HomeLink garage-door opener, Siri Eyes Free iPhone integration, self-dimming rearview mirror and 7-inch display screen. Audio entertainment is provided by a 10-speaker, 256-watt AM/FM/CD system with HD Radio (with complimentary traffic and weather data), dual USB inputs and Bluetooth streaming. F Sport models add variable suspension and Sport+ driving mode, heated and ventilated front seats, sport-tuned suspension and power-adjust steering wheel. Standard seat material is NuLuxe faux leather. RC F models include Brembo brakes, sport front seats and forged BBS aluminum wheels.

Enhancements for Lexus' 2-door performance coupe include navigation system that bundles a rearview camera, the Lexus Enform App suite with services such as Yelp, Pandora and stock prices, and a mouse-like touch pad to control it all; heated/ventilated front seats; leather interior; heated steering wheel; and moonroof. The Mark Levinson premium audio system (see Favorite Features) sounds excellent and is an easy recommendation for music lovers. Advanced safety features include blind-spot monitoring and a pre-collision system that can automatically brake the car. RC F models can add to their prowess with a torque-vectoring rear differential and carbon-fiber roof and rear spoiler.

The 2015 Lexus RC 350 and RC 350 F Sport coupes are powered by a 3.5-liter V6 that makes an impressive 306 horsepower. That enables the RC 350 to sprint to 60 mph in 6 seconds or less. Power is transmitted through an 8-speed automatic transmission in RWD models and a 6-speed automatic transmission in AWD versions. The range-topping RC F boasts a 5.0-liter V8 that churns out 467 horsepower and enables Lexus' high-performance coupe to go 0-60 mph in 4.4 seconds and hit a top speed of 170 mph. The RC F also uses a quick-shifting 8-speed automatic transmission. The Lexus RC models have the edge against their BMW foes in power but are not as fuel-efficient.3.5-liter V6 306 horsepower @ 6,400 rpm277 lb-ft of torque @ 4,800 rpmEPA city/highway fuel economy: 19/28 mpg (RWD), 19/26 mpg (AWD)5.0-liter V8 467 horsepower @ 7,100 rpm389 lb-ft of torque @ 4,800-5,600 rpmEPA city/highway fuel economy: 16/25 mpg

The new Lexus RC coupe starts with a Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) around $ 43,000 for a base RC 350. That is a few thousand beyond a base BMW 4 Series, but a couple of thousand less than a 4 Series with a 6-cylinder, which is standard in the Lexus. The RC 350 also arrives higher than a base Cadillac ATS coupe with 4-cylinder engine, but is in line with a V6-equipped ATS coupe. The same goes for the Mercedes-Benz C-Class coupe. On the other end of the spectrum, the RC F starts around $ 63,000, in line with a BMW M4 coupe and several thousand below an Audi RS 5. With options, the RC 350 and RC F's prices can climb quickly. Before buying, check the Fair Purchase Price to see what others are paying. We have yet to predict the RC's residual value, but Lexus vehicles in general retain their value very well.
