2019 Lexus RC 300 review

1. Great base trim features 

The 2019 RC 300's base trim is anything but ordinary, offering a long list of passenger conveniences and driver technology as standard. Dual-zone automatic climate control ensures your crew stays comfortable no matter the temperature outside, while the deep-fill front bucket seats in NuLuxe^® premium vinyl upholstery feel supportive, particularly on long journeys. Standard connective tech that keeps you in touch on the move includes Bluetooth® connectivity for hands-free calling, and Apple CarPlay^® for connecting to your favorite apps and music services. 

2. Coupe excitement 

With its attention-grabbing design, the Lexus RC 300 is a standout in any setting. It boasts a traditional low and broad sports coupe silhouette at 54.9 inches tall with an 81.5-inch width for its base trim model. Choose an elegant monochrome shade model or an eye-catching version in red, yellow, or blue exterior paint to make a vibrant statement. With its brawny front grille, streamlined LED headlights, and gracefully curved roofline, this slick coupe offers a perfect balance of athletic sophistication.  

3. Powertrains 

With two powerful engines to choose from, the 2019 RC 300 is full of promising performance. For rear-wheel drive exhilaration, pick a model with the 241-hp, turbocharged 2.0L four-cylinder engine and you’ll also get some fine fuel economy too, with an EPA-estimated 24 mpg combined.

Choose the 3.5L V6 powertrain for 260 hp, 236 lb-ft of torque, and the added agility of all-wheel drive delivery. 

4. Storage options 

If the sleek lines of a coupe appeal, but you want practical cargo cubes too, you don’t have to compromise, the 2019 RC 300 can handle daily essentials and some vacation luggage too. The RC 300 has 10.4 cu-ft of dedicated cargo space and a second row that folds down in a 60/40 split for extra space when needed. For your travel essentials, the RC 300 interior features a center console bin, door cubbies, and front seatback pockets. 

5. F Sport  

For next-level athletic styling, pick a 2019 RC 300 F Sport trim. Exclusive exterior elements set things off, with touches that include a mesh-filled grille, 19-inch wheels, F Sport-only paint options, and a restyled front fascia. Behind the wheel, you’ll enjoy adaptive sport-tuned suspension dampers, a custom drive mode, and a turbo-boost gauge. This trim also includes all features of the available Navigation and Premium packages, so you can also enjoy leather upholstery, a heated and ventilated front row, and a 10.3-inch display screen with system navigation.
