2023 Lexus RC 300 Trims Comparison
2023 RC 300 trim level differences
The 2023 Lexus RC 300 comes in two trim levels: base and F Sport. Both offer one of two available powertrains. Rear-wheel-drive models are 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. All-wheel-drive models come equipped with a 3.5-liter V6 (260 hp, 236 lb-ft) backed by a six-speed automatic. Feature highlights include:
Which 2023 RC 300 trim does Edmunds recommend?
We suggest sticking with the base RC 300. It delivers adequate power for most drivers and comes with plenty of premium features. If you live in a region with wet or wintry weather, adding all-wheel drive will get you more confident traction as well as a more powerful V6 engine. We also recommend the Navigation with Mark Levinson Premium Audio package for the exquisite sound system and larger touchscreen.
