Used 2020 Lexus RC 300 Coupe Trims Comparison
Trim level differences
The 2020 Lexus RC 300 comes in two main versions: base and F Sport. Both offer one of two engines. The rear-wheel-drive model is powered by a turbocharged four-cylinder engine (241 horsepower, 258 lb-ft of torque) that drives the rear wheels through an eight-speed automatic transmission. The all-wheel-drive RC 300 comes with a 3.5-liter V6 (260 hp, 236 lb-ft) connected to a six-speed automatic.
Which RC 300 trim does Edmunds recommend?
The rear-wheel-drive RC 300 gets our recommendation for its lighter weight, more torque and better fuel efficiency compared to the V6 that comes with all-wheel drive. The F Sport option enhances the car's handling abilities. But if you're seeking performance, the RC 300 probably isn't the right car for you. Skip the F Sport in favor of the optional Premium package and Mark Levinson audio system.
