5 reasons to buy the 2019 Lexus RC 350

1. Two trim options 

Previously, the Lexus RC 350 was available in one trim option with several solo additions and packages to enhance the vehicle. The 2019 Lexus RC 350 comes in two trims: Base and F Sport. Both trims feature a powerful 3.5L V6 engine cranking out 311 hp and 280 lb-ft of torque paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission. The new F Sport trim embodies the previous base trim features as well as the F Sport package, the Navigation package, and Premium package to transform it into a true, high-end luxury Lexus option. 

2. Modern technology 

The 2019 Lexus RC 350 Base trim comes loaded with Apple CarPlay® integration, Bluetooth® connectivity, a seven-inch display screen, available satellite radio, a rearview camera, and automated cruise control.

Thanks to the tech updates for 2019, you and the kids have plenty of ways to stream music in the 2019 Lexus RC 350. If you choose an F Sport trim, you enjoy all the Base trim features plus heated/ventilated front seats, a navigation system, sport-tuned suspension dampers, a 10.3-inch display screen, and much more. 

3. All-wheel-drive option 

If you live in the mountains, travel gravel roads, or drive in rainy conditions often, consider a 2019 Lexus RC 350 model fitted with optional all-wheel drive and a six-speed automatic transmission. This option comes on both the Base and F Sport trims. All-wheel drive makes it easier to navigate snowy or wet roads by providing more traction.  

4. Driver-assist features 

Do you spend hours on the road each day traveling for work? Or, are driving lessons for your teen coming up? The 2019 Lexus RC 350 has several driving aids to make time behind the wheel easier. Adaptive cruise control and lane-keeping assist come standard on both trims. Choose a Base trim with the Premium package, or an F Sport trim to enjoy blind-spot monitoring with a cross-traffic alert system to better see what's happening around your car. Front and rear parking sensors come optional on both trims. 

5. Comfortable to drive 

The 2019 Lexus RC 350 features well-bolstered seats, a robust climate control function, and an effective suspension system to offer a smooth ride. There's very little wind or road noise, so your baby can sleep soundly in the backseat. If you choose a Base trim you also enjoy power-adjustable and heated front seats (all-wheel drive models only). Settle into an F Sport trim to gain heated/ventilated sport-style front seats.
