The Lexus RC coupe can be had with either a 241 hp 2.0-liter turbo inline-four or a 3.5-liter V6 in either 255 hp or 311 hp output levels. A 6-speed automatic is standard on the mid-range model but the rest get a newer 8-speed automatic transmission, all-wheel drive can be specified depending on trim levels. Refined, quick and generously equipped with standard features like power front seats, driving assists and available options including a digital instrument display, the RC is a competent long-distance tourer. A small trunk and some questionable interior trim do not dim this well-priced coupe’s desirability.
