2024 Lexus RC Coupe Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2024 Lexus RC is available in three versions: RC 300, RC 350 and RC F. The RC 300 and RC 350 are further offered in either Base or F Sport trims. The RC 300 comes with the choice of two available powertrains. Keep reading for our breakdown of the different powertrains as well as the RC's standard and optional features.

Rear-wheel-drive RC 300 models are powered by a turbocharged four-cylinder engine (241 horsepower) while all-wheel-drive models come equipped with a 3.5-liter V6 (260 hp). The RC 350 comes with a 3.5-liter V6 engine (311 hp). Finally, the RC F has a 5.0-liter V8 (472 hp) and is only available with rear-wheel drive. Rear-wheel-drive models are equipped with an eight-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel-drive variants get a six-speed automatic.

  • Forward collision mitigation (warns you of an impending collision and applies the brakes in certain scenarios)

Which RC trim does Edmunds recommend?

We like the RC 350 for the added power you get over the RC 300, and stepping up to the F Sport trim adds an appropriate amount of performance while maintaining high levels of comfort. To that, we'd consider adding the Navigation with Mark Levinson Premium Audio package for the larger touchscreen and powerful audio upgrade. As much as we like the RC F's V8 growl, we think most performance-focused shoppers would be better served by its rivals.
