2025 Lexus RC Coupe Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2025 Lexus RC is available in three versions: RC 300, RC 350 and RC F. The RC 300 and RC 350 are offered in either Base or F Sport Final Edition trims. The RC 300 comes with the choice of two available powertrains. Keep reading for our breakdown of the different powertrains as well as the RC's standard and optional features.

Rear-wheel-drive RC 300 models are powered by a turbocharged four-cylinder engine (241 horsepower), while all-wheel-drive models come equipped with a 3.5-liter V6 (260 hp). The RC 350 comes with a 3.5-liter V6 engine (311 hp) and is offered in rear- or all-wheel drive. Rear-wheel-drive models are equipped with an eight-speed automatic transmission, and all-wheel-drive variants get a six-speed automatic.

Finally, the RC F has a 5.0-liter V8 (472 hp) and is only available with rear-wheel drive. It uses a six-speed automatic transmission.

Which RC trim does Edmunds recommend?

If you're looking for the best combination of comfort, performance and cost, we think the RC 350 is the trim to get. It's available in both drive configurations and with the F Sport handling upgrades if that's your thing. And it's far less costly than the RC F.
