Used 2022 Lexus RC 350 Coupe Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2022 Lexus RC 350 is available in two trim levels: base and F Sport. Both come with a 3.5-liter V6 engine (311 horsepower, 280 lb-ft) joined to an eight-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive. All-wheel drive is optional. The turbocharged four-cylinder RC 300 and high-performance RC F are reviewed separately.

Base
The base RC 350 comes fairly well equipped from the get-go. Standard features include:

  • 18-inch wheels
  • LED headlights and taillights
  • Keyless entry with push-button start
  • Power-adjustable front seats
  • Heated front seats (AWD models)
  • Dual-zone automatic climate control
  • 7-inch infotainment screen
  • Apple CarPlay, Amazon Alexa and Android Auto integration
  • 10-speaker audio system

Standard driver aids include:

  • Blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert (warns you if a vehicle is in your blind spot during a lane change or while reversing)
  • Forward collision mitigation (warns you of an impending collision and applies the brakes in certain scenarios)
  • Lane departure mitigation (warns you of a lane departure when a turn signal isn't used and can automatically steer to maintain lane position)
  • Adaptive cruise control (adjusts speed to maintain a constant distance between the vehicle and the car in front)

Lexus offers a handful of options such as:

  • Navigation package
    • 10.3-inch infotainment screen
    • Navigation
    • In-dash CD and DVD player
  • Navigation/Mark Levinson Premium Audio package
    • Navigation package features
    • 17-speaker audio system with subwoofer
    • Aluminum control knobs
  • Premium package
    • Heated and ventilated seats with memory function
    • Heated, auto-dimming exterior mirrors
    • Rain-sensing wipers
    • Power tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel
  • All-Weather package
    • Windshield wiper de-icer
    • Rapid cabin heater
    • Headlight washers
  • 19-inch wheels and summer tires
  • Triple-beam LED headlights
  • Parking sensors (alert you to obstacles that may not be visible behind the vehicle when parking)
  • Moonroof
  • Heated steering wheel

F Sport
The F Sport builds on the standard RC 350 with features including:

  • F Sport-tuned adaptive suspension
  • Upgraded brakes
  • 19-inch wheels
  • Contents of the Premium package
  • Perforated synthetic leather upholstery
  • Heated and ventilated sport seats
  • Aluminum pedals
  • Black headliner

Options include those available on the base RC 350, but the F Sport also offers a few performance options such as:

  • Lexus Dynamic Handling System (upgrades suspension and adds rear-wheel steering for improved handling)
  • Torsen limited-slip rear differential for improved traction (rear-wheel-drive models)

Which RC 350 trim does Edmunds recommend?

We recommend opting for the F Sport configuration. Its adaptive suspension, upgraded brakes, and optional summer tires and limited-slip differential help its handling potential live up to the promise of its extroverted styling. If you live in a wet-weather climate, or even if you're determined to extract every potential ounce of handling performance, opt for all-wheel drive.
