Used 2021 Lexus RC F Coupe Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2021 RC F luxury coupe comes in just one trim level. Under the hood is a 5.0-liter V8 engine (472 horsepower, 395 lb-ft of torque). It's connected to an eight-speed automatic transmission that drives the rear wheels. Standard feature highlights include:

  • 19-inch forged aluminum wheels
  • Limited-slip rear differential
  • Driver-selected driving modes
  • Launch control
  • Adaptive suspension dampers
  • Summer performance tires
  • Speed-activated rear wing-style spoiler
  • Dual-zone automatic climate control
  • Simulated leather upholstery
  • Power-adjustable seats
  • Digital gauges with g-force meter and lap timer
  • Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
  • Lexus Enform connected services, including Wi-Fi
  • Amazon Alexa integration
  • 10-speaker audio system
  • Blind-spot monitor with rear cross-traffic alert (warns you if a vehicle is in your blind spot during a lane change or while reversing)

The RC F also includes Lexus Safety System+, a collection of advanced driving assistance systems with:

  • Adaptive cruise control (maintains a driver-set distance between the Lexus and the car in front)
  • Forward collision mitigation (warns you of an impending collision and applies the brakes in certain scenarios)
  • Lane departure mitigation (warns you of a lane departure when a turn signal isn't used and can automatically steer to maintain lane position)
  • Automatic high-beam headlights

Most RC F buyers will want the Premium package, which includes:

  • Leather seats
  • Heated steering wheel
  • Heated and ventilated front seats
  • Power-adjustable steering wheel
  • Front and rear parking sensors

A Carbon package is also available. It includes the contents of the Premium package plus:

  • Carbon-fiber roof
  • Carbon-fiber spoilers, splitters and rear diffuser panel
  • Carbon-fiber interior trim

The Navigation/Mark Levinson package is a worthy upgrade. It installs:

  • Navigation system
  • Dynamic voice recognition
  • 17-speaker premium surround-sound system
  • Lexus Enform Destination Assist concierge services

Additional options include triple-beam LED headlights, a power sunroof and a torque-vectoring rear differential.

The RC F Fuji Speedway Edition emphasizes weight reduction to shave nearly half a second off the car's standard 0-60 mph time of 4 seconds. Highlights of the car include:

  • 19-inch ultralight forged aluminum wheels
  • Exclusive Arctic Blast Satin or Cloudburst Gray paint
  • Carbon-fiber hood
  • Carbon package (with red interior carbon-fiber trim)
  • Red synthetic suede interior trim
  • Carbon-ceramic brakes with red brake calipers
  • Titanium exhaust system
  • Limited-production MSTR automatic movement watch (for your wrist)

Which RC F trim does Edmunds recommend?

It's all about the options since there's just one trim level of the RC F. Since this car is best suited for cruising rather than maximum performance, it's probably a good idea to get the Premium package (heated and ventilated front seats) and the sweet-sounding Mark Levinson audio system.
