The 2018 Lexus RC 300 is a two-door luxury sport coupe with muscular styling, a high-quality interior and a quiet, smooth highway ride. Shoppers who live in areas with frequent snow or mud will appreciate the standard all-wheel drive, which provides solid traction under a variety of road conditions. And although the RC 300 might not corner like a hardcore sports car, its handling will be more than adequate for most drivers.
The interior of the RC 300 is attractively designed and luxurious. Materials are mostly soft to the touch, and even the few hard plastic parts have an upscale look and feel. The front seats are snug yet very comfortable, but, like a lot of sport coupes, the rear compartment is best reserved for small children. Standard and available technology abound, although controls for the infotainment system and other functions can be difficult to use.
Power for the RC 300 comes from one of two engines. A turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder produces 241 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque and drives the rear wheels through an eight-speed automatic transmission. The RC 300 AWD, the all-wheel-drive model, features a 3.5-liter non-turbocharged V6 engine that generates 260 horsepower and 236 pound-feet of torque. It drives all four wheels through a six-speed automatic transmission with standard paddle shifters. The EPA rates fuel economy for the 2018 RC 300 at 26 mpg combined (22 city/32 highway) and the RC 300 AWD at 21 mpg combined (18 city/24 highway).
On the road, the RC 300 has acceleration that's not spectacular, but it is more than adequate for highway passing and will likely satisfy the majority of drivers. It's also more of a comfortable tourer than an ambitious corner-carver. But you can upgrade handling via the F Sport package, which adds an adaptive sport-tuned suspension, larger wheels and performance tires, and upgraded brakes.There's also perforated leather upholstery and some unique exterior trim pieces.
The RC 300 comes in one very well-equipped trim level, with such standard features as keyless entry, dual-zone automatic climate control, an infotainment system with Bluetooth connectivity, and power-adjustable, heated front seats. The Premium package and Luxury package add a variety of comfort and convenience items. As noted, the F Sport package brings a sport suspension and additional interior appointments. Whatever your preference, let Edmunds help you find the 2018 Lexus RC 300 that best meets your needs.
