Used Lexus RC

It’s a rare sight in the UK, combining sharp design with reliability, and is worth considering if you want something different from the usual German coupes. Designed for drivers seeking a comfortable coupe with a unique look and efficient drive, the RC prioritises quality and refinement over outright sporty handling. It stands out with its hybrid system delivering quiet motoring and lower running costs, especially around town. Launched in the UK in 2015 and updated in 2019, most versions are the RC 300h hybrid, though the more powerful RC F is available for dramatic performance. Praised for build quality, equipment, and comfort, it offers superb front seats, a plush cabin finish, and unmatched hybrid running costs in its class, despite less space and spark than German rivals.

Pros

Eye-catching design
High interior quality
Efficient hybrid system

Cons

Cramped rear seats
Not as fun to drive as rivals
Fiddly infotainment controls

What are the key safety features of the Lexus RC?

The Lexus RC is well-equipped for safety, featuring adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, road sign recognition, a suite of airbags, and automatic emergency braking as standard. Upper trims add blind spot monitoring and rear cross traffic alert.
What engine options are available with the Lexus RC?

The main UK engine is the 2.5-litre petrol-electric hybrid (RC 300h), which can drive short distances on electric only. The performance-focused RC F uses a 5.0-litre V8 petrol. Both have automatic gearboxes. Earlier models offered a turbocharged 2.0-litre petrol (RC 200t), but the hybrid is more popular.
What are the standard technology and infotainment features in the Lexus RC?

All models include a large infotainment screen (10.3-inch post-2019), navigation, dual-zone climate control, adaptive cruise control, and keyless start. Upper trims offer a premium Mark Levinson sound system. The infotainment is controlled via a central touchpad, which can be frustrating to use.
What is the fuel consumption of the Lexus RC?

The RC 300h hybrid achieves up to 56.5mpg officially, with real-world closer to 40mpg. The RC F V8 averages 26mpg. The hybrid system offers lower running costs, especially for city driving and short commutes compared to rivals.
What should I check when buying a used Lexus RC?

You should check for a full Lexus service history, particularly the hybrid battery and electronics. Inspect the infotainment system due to its controversial controller. Check interior wear and rear seat space if carrying adults. For added security, consider an AA Vehicle Inspection before purchase.
Are Lexus RC cars reliable?

Yes, Lexus has a strong reliability record, and the RC follows suit. The hybrid uses proven Toyota tech and is regarded as dependable long-term. Owners report few issues, making the RC a safe and sensible used car choice in its class.
