2016 Lexus RC 200t review

1. Premium-feel interior 

If your daily commute and weekend errands deserve an upgrade, undertake them in the 2016 Lexus RC 200t coupe. Cabin highlights include standard NuLuxe® premium vinyl or available leather upholstery in natural shades, alongside ambient interior lighting, and wood or metallic accent finishing. The front dash includes a seven-inch infotainment display and intuitive feature controls in a flowing design that extends to the center console armrest. For everything close to hand, in undeniable style, the  2016 RC 200t excels. 

2. Powertrain performance 

The turbocharged power of the 2016 RC 200t is a thrilling enough reason to say yes to every suggested coffee run, errand, or grocery store pick-up. Boasting rear-wheel drive for taut handling, and a turbocharged 2.0L four-cylinder engine, the 2016 RC 200t achieves 241 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque. This coupe will also take you further between fill-ups, with a pleasing EPA-estimated 26 mpg combined.

3. Standard features 

As an upscale luxury brand, Lexus furnishes the 2016 RC 200t with a long list of standard features for your comfort and convenience. To enhance your confidence behind the wheel the RC 200t has LED headlights and tail lights, and for parking garage maneuvers, a rearview camera. Getting comfortable is easy with the RC 200t too, since the driver seat has 10-way power adjustment and a tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel. Conveniences for your busiest days include keyless entry and ignition, and Bluetooth^® connectivity for hands-free calling as you travel between appointments.  

4. Useful storage 

If you value versatility alongside luxury, the 2016 RC 200t's trunk will suit you well, offering 10.4 cu-ft of space for work essentials, gym bags, and groceries. Need more volume? The 60/40-split folding rear seats expand this capacity, perfect for those larger shopping sprees at the mall or accommodating gear for weekend getaways. In the cabin, your small travel items are conveniently accommodated in door cubbies and the center console bin. 

5. Available packages 

Be sure to look out for the available packages when you're shopping this luxurious coupe, as there are plenty of additional features you'll enjoy having. Highlights of the Luxury package include heated and ventilated front seats, leather upholstery, and for those who share their vehicle, driver memory settings. Models equipped with the F Sport package mean serious drive excitement thanks to the addition of a sport-tuned suspension and front sport seats.
