The 2019 Lexus RC coupe backs up its sexy shape and aggressive design with strong performance and an engaging driving experience.Although it’s heavier than competitors from BMW and Audi, the Lexus is quick and handles well enough for most buyers. Even the base RC turbo, which is badged the RC 300, accelerates quickly and delivers the same catlike reflexes as the RC 350. More demanding drivers should step up to the V6-powered RC 300 AWD or RC 350; you’ll appreciate the additional power over time. And the F Sport models are worth the investment for the increase in handling, although the stiff ride might be a rude awakening for longtime Lexus owners. Those seeking the ultimate Lexus performer should opt for the 467-horsepower RC F with its intoxicating V8 rumble and thrust. Still, it’s outperformed by the lighter, turbocharged BMW M4 and Cadillac ATS-V.If you're planning to buy a Lexus RC, don't forget to check the KBB Fair Purchase Price to see what others are paying for this car in your region. Also, remember that the RC wins a resale value award in the KBB 2019 Best Resale Value Awards.
LEXUS SAFETY SYSTEM+Lexus knows that safety shouldn’t be a luxury, which is why it equips every RC trim with the Lexus Safety System+. Included in the package is Pre-Collision Warning with Pedestrian Detection, Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist and Dynamic Cruise Control for keeping a preset distance from the car ahead.DRIVE MODE SELECTThe 2019 RC coupe allows the driver to vary throttle response, customizing the gauge cluster and determining transmission shift points. A console-mounted twist knob allows for three settings: Normal, Sport and Sport+. On the F Sport model, drivers can save their favorite setting and adjust the suspension.
Keeping in mind that the RC is a small coupe, don’t expect much in the way of rear-seat accommodations or front-seat headroom. That said, the RC’s interior is a very nice place to spend time. The front seats are marvelously supportive on long drives, the sightlines good in all directions, and interior materials and build quality are above reproach. Gauges are clear and easy to read, and the big 10.3-inch infotainment screen responds quickly to input. Regrettably, that input must be carried out through a rather frustrating touch pad and joystick interface. Unlike the systems in Audi, BMW or Cadillac cars, this one is difficult to operate when the vehicle is in motion, although over time we think most people will grow accustomed to it.
From its revised Lexus "spindle" grille – extra-large on the RC F model – to its fins and other aggressive details, the new 2019 Lexus RC is anything but boring. It looks more menacing and distinctive than its European and American competitors and bears a more than passing resemblance to the stunning new LC coupe. Its proportions are perfect, and its stance is properly low, especially with the larger wheels and tires worn by F Sport models. To announce its additional performance, the top-dog RC F model gets uniquely stacked exhaust pipes and additional vents and flares.
The 2019 Lexus RC comes as nicely equipped as you'd expect of a luxury-sports coupe. There are standard automatic climate control, a self-dimming rearview mirror, and an infotainment system with a 10.3-inch display screen, Lexus Safety System+, rearview camera, Lexus Enform Service Connect system and onboard Wi-Fi. The 10-speaker audio system includes HD Radio, dual USB inputs and Bluetooth streaming with Apple CarPlay and Siri Eyes Free iPhone integration. F Sport models get standard variable suspension and Sport+ driving mode, heated and ventilated front seats, a suspension tuned for higher performance, and a power-adjust steering wheel. RC F models include bigger brakes, front sport seats and forged BBS aluminum wheels.
The options list starts with a navigation system that uses a touch-pad controller and includes an upgraded Enform suite with services such as Yelp, Pandora and stock prices. There are also heated/ventilated front seats, a leather interior, heated steering wheel and a moonroof. The Mark Levinson premium audio system makes even your iPod sound amazing, and should top the list 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 2019 Lexus RC coupe comes in four trims, each with its own engine. The base RC 300 is powered by a 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder good for 241 horsepower. Next up is the RC 300 AWD (all-wheel drive) powered by a 260-horsepower 3.5-liter V6. The RC 350 and RC 350 AWD also use a 3.5-liter V6, but one owning slightly more horsepower rated at 311. Lastly, there is the range-topping RC F, which is motivated by a 467-horsepower 5.0-liter V8. The AWD models still employ an outdated 6-speed automatic, but the others get a more sophisticated 8-speed unit. We should note while the horsepower for all of these engines is easily in line with most competitors, you’ll find the fuel economy in Audi and BMW cars to be slightly better.2.0-liter turbocharged inline-4 (RC 300)241 horsepower @ 5,800 rpm258 lb-ft of torque @ 1,650-4,400 rpmEPA city/highway fuel economy: 21/30 mpg3.5-liter V6 (RC 300 AWD)260 horsepower @ 6,400 rpm236 lb-ft of torque @ 2,000-4,800 rpmEPA city/highway fuel economy: 18/24 mpg3.5-liter V6 (RC 350)311 horsepower @ 6,400 rpm277 lb-ft of torque @ 4,800 rpmEPA city/highway fuel economy: 20/28 mpg (RWD), 18/24 mpg (AWD)5.0-liter V8 (RC F)467 horsepower @ 7,100 rpm389 lb-ft of torque @ 4,800-5,600 rpmEPA city/highway fuel economy: 16/25 mpg
The 2019 Lexus RC 300 has a Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) just over the $ 42,000 mark, including the $ 1,025 destination charge. If you want all-wheel drive, the RC 300 AWD starts at about $ 44,850, while the rear-drive RC 350 starts just over $ 45,000. The AWD RC 350 starts just over $ 47,250. Those prices are not far from a BMW 4 Series, an Infiniti Q60 or Audi A5, but quite a bit more than the excellent Cadillac ATS coupe. If you're looking to endanger your license, the RC F starts a little over $ 65,700, in line with a BMW M4 coupe but several thousand more than the Audi S5. Prices climb quickly once you start adding options. Do check the Fair Purchase Price to see what others are paying, and note that the RC should retain its value very nicely.OK, so what's next?I'm interested in the newest version of this car. What's for sale near me?I'm interested in this car, and I'd like to trade in my current car while I'm at it.Then again, maybe I should be thinking about a used car.

The new Lexus RC has received improvements to aerodynamics, RC tires and suspension, as well as improved engine response and steering sense.
If American car-manufacturer heads had been warned about a Japanese take-over in the mid 80's, they would have almost certainly laughed at the prospect. Humorous or not, the Japanese did conquer US, not through mecha led wars but rather through anime and cars. However, before the mild-assault began, there were a series of weird meetings held in secrecy in chairman chambers.
Such a meeting was held in 1983 between Toyota chairman Eiji Toyoda and his company executives. Toyoda had not invited his enforcers over for cookies and tea but to question them about the possibility of developing a luxury-car line that could successfully compete with American brands. The project was labeled as F1 -Flahship 1- and proved to be a most lucrative endeavor. The result was a vehicle that later became known as the Lexus LS 400 prior to its US premier.
The LS 400 was not just a car that took time and resources to built. In researching American luxury-product consumer habits and lifestyles, the Japanese went as far as renting a house in Laguna beach in order to observe their “subjects” closely. Offspring of long-gestating consumer research and cutting-edge engineering, the LX 400 was a hit.
Endorsed by insightful advertising, the LS 400 made its entrance at the North American Auto Show in Detroit, 1989 where it was one of the main attractions. And how could it not have been after 24 engineering teams and a few thousands employees worked on 450 prototypes at the cost of a paltry $ 1 billion investment?
The main advantage Lexus had over Acura, that had reached US markets 3 years before, was its uniqueness. Unlike the first Acura models which were sold as rebadged Hondas, the Lexus held little connections to Toyota design patterns.
Silent, ergonomic, powerful and reliable, the LS became a fierce competitor for European imports such as Mercedes Benz and BMW, whose sales drastically dropped following Lexus' trumpeting market entrance.
Models like the ES 250 followed which along the LS registered enough sales to allow the brand expanding through an 81-dealership network. During those first years of sales, Lexus became the top-selling luxury car in the U.S. Things were going smoothly for the Japanese manufacturer, just like its cars, and in 1991, two new models were released: the SC400 coupe and the ES 300 sedan. The latter was marketed as a replacement for the ES 250 and quickly became the company's best selling sedan.
Following the release of a heir to the LS 400 and the Toyota Aristo-based series of the GS, Lexus entered the sport utility vehicle segment in 1996 with the launch of the LX 450, a large car based on the Toyota Land Cruiser 100. By 1998, Lexus would release the RX, a top-selling crossover based on Toyota's Camry model as well as a new series of the GS. During the following years, further technological improvements such as the introduction of the Lexus Hybrid Drive system on the 2005 RX 400h, resulted in an even greater sales increase.
Things were so good for Lexus that it has constantly grown since its inception. The brand has been introduced to the Japanese home-market in 2005 as well as it has in other regions of Asia and South America as well as Australia and Europe. By 2007, Lexus had spread in over 50 countries and it continues to grow. The company's “pursuit of perfection” is fronted by its current line-up, comprised of the IS, LS and RX series among others as well as the avant-garde LF-A concepts.
2019 Lexus RC Consumer Reviews

"Great sporty car"
Fun car to drive. Lots of features, but missing some important ones. Fit & Finish is first class. Interior is a great design. Back seat is of little value. Basically a two-seater. Luggage space is fantastic when back seats are turned down.

"Amazing car!"
For the price I could have gone with a faster car however for the amazing sound the NA V8 in the RC-F makes is worth the weight of the vehicle. I love the styling of the car as well and get compliments all the time on the way it looks! I enjoy the interior of the car and feel the build quality is definitely on point and exceeds other cars in the same price range. My only real gripe is the weight and handling as you can feel how heavy the car is when driving around.

"A rare gem!!!"
This is by far my favorite car I've owned, and I've owned tons. The performance, the reliability, and the fit-and-finish of this car leaves nothing to be desired. The build quality is masterful, and the looks you get from passers by highlight the rarity of this machine.
The only thing I'm not the biggest fan of is the infotainment system, although that is a personal preference item, not a knock on the car itself.
