New Lexus RC Review
The all-new Lexus RC is a work of art. With its sleek design and powerful engine, it's sure to turn heads wherever you go. But is it worth the price tag? In this review from Earnhardt Lexus, we'll take a closer look at what sets the RC apart from other luxury sedans and decide if it's worth the extra money.
Performance
The Lexus RC is a true performer. Its aggressive and stylish design is matched by its impressive performance capabilities. The RC's V6 engine produces 311 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque. It's paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive. The RC F gets a more powerful V8 engine that produces 472 hp and 395 lb-ft of torque. It comes with a performance-tuned eight-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive with active torque vectoring.
Lexus estimates that the RC will accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 5.8 seconds, which is about average for the class. The RC is also very fuel-efficient for a performance vehicle, with an EPA estimated fuel economy rating of 23 mpg combined city/highway.
Handling
When it comes to handling, the RC is equally impressive. It features a sport-tuned suspension and steering system that provides precise control and agility. The RC also comes equipped with large brakes that provide excellent stopping power.
The RC F adds an upgraded suspension, 19-inch wheels, Brembo brakes, variable gear ratio steering, active rear steering, and launch control.
The Lexus RC is a well-rounded performance machine with exhilarating driving dynamics and superb handling characteristics.
Exterior Styling
The new Lexus RC is one of the market's most stylish and sophisticated cars. It's a true head-turner, with its sleek lines and aggressive stance. The exterior styling is modern and sporty yet still elegant and luxurious. The overall look is very cohesive and well-executed.
The front end is probably the most striking aspect of the RC's styling. The large spindle grille dominates the center of the bumper, flanked by sharp LED headlights. The long, sweeping hood gives the car a very low and aggressive profile.
The sides of the car are clean and simple, with muscular wheel arches and smooth body lines. The rear end is sleek and sporty, with sharp LED taillights and dual exhaust tips.
Interior
The interior styling is exquisite, and the attention to detail is second to none. The materials are of the highest quality, and the craftsmanship is impeccable. The result is a luxurious and stylish car that will turn heads.
The RC's cabin is spacious and comfortable, with plenty of room for passengers to stretch out. The seats are well-bolstered and offer excellent support, while the infotainment system is easy to use and packed with features. The driving position is spot-on, and visibility is good all around.
The RC is also incredibly safe. It comes standard with Lexus' Safety System+, including features like adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning, and automatic high beams. This system has been proven to reduce accidents by up to 60%, so you can feel confident behind the wheel.
The Lexus RC should be at the top of your list if you're looking for a luxurious sports car with excellent performance and handling. The exterior styling is eye-catching and sophisticated, while the interior is comfortable and well-appointed. So if you're in the market for a new luxury car, contact Earnhardt Lexus today to schedule a test drive. You won't be disappointed!
