It’s hard to argue that a luxury coupe is a value pick, but the 2024 Lexus RC presents a compelling case. At $45,920, including a $1,150 destination fee, the base RC 300 features good standard equipment and infotainment, earning points for a 7 here.
Base versions get synthetic leather upholstery, power front seats, wood trim, an 8.0-inch touchscreen, and Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Amazon Alexa. Budget $2,690 more for all-wheel drive.
Lexus backs the RC with a 4-year/50,000-mile warranty.
Which Lexus RC should I buy?
Budget for the RC 350, which runs $48,850 with rear-wheel drive and $51,015 with all-wheel drive. The engine upgrade and additional amenities will satisfy most shoppers. We’d probably splurge on the F Sport, with its sportier looks, adaptive dampers, and available Torsen limited-slip rear differential. It starts at $53,470 with rear-wheel drive.
How much is a fully loaded Lexus RC?
The RC F is a good performance value at $68,295, though any color besides black or white requires a carbon-fiber package that costs almost $18,000. Instead, we’d get the Premium Package, around $6,500, which adds leather upholstery, heated and cooled front seats, and Michelin tires on forged wheels.
For $101,170, the RC F Track Edition comes dressed in tons of carbon fiber.
