The 2016 Lexus RC 300 coupe offers shoppers an upscale blend of performance and elegance. Seating four passengers across two rows, its powerful engine delivers a spirited ride experience complemented by all-wheel drive capability for enhanced traction and agility. Utterly stylish, but full of substance too, the RC 300 will turn heads wherever you go, from its athletic exterior lines to the plush interior that's been crafted with care. The RC 300 is a new model for the Lexus RC badge, in the 2016 model year.
The 2016 Lexus RC 300 will command attention wherever you go. You’ll find models in one of six monochrome colors, or in a bright red, orange, or blue colorway. A prominent grille, slick LED headlights, and a sweeping roofline all help set it apart too. At 54.9 inches high and with a width of 81.5 inches for the base trim model, the 2016 RC 300 has a classically athletic coupe stance, combined with the kind of modern elegance that Lexus does so well.
This dramatically styled coupe has a powerful engine to match. The 2016 RC 300 is motivated by a 3.5L V6, capable of 255 hp and 236 lb-ft of torque. A six-speed automatic transmission ensures smooth shifts around town, while the coupe’s all-wheel drive capability provides controlled handling on more exhilarating coastal and mountain roads. For regular highway driving, perhaps to work and back every day, you’ll be pleased with the 2016 RC 300’s EPA-estimated 26 mpg highway capability.
For shoppers who want to prioritize personal comfort, perhaps for long days behind the wheel, the 2016 RC 300 cabin has premium materials and smart amenities. Standard front bucket seats in NuLuxe® premium upholstery provide 45.4 inches of legroom, ensuring spaciousness for even the tallest of passengers. Access to the second row is simplified with an automatic slide-forward feature for the front seat. Although the back offers a snug 27.3 inches of legroom, the seating is pleasant and comes complete with two full sets of LATCH fixtures for child and infant seat installation.
If you need to stay contactable for work, or simply love to soundtrack trips with your favorite music, the 2016 RC 300 has plenty of tech to fulfill those needs. As standard, the RC 300 boasts Bluetooth® connectivity for hands-free calling and audio streaming. The premium 10-speaker audio system can play satellite and HD radio, or plug in your devices via the auxiliary jack or USB port for more personalized options.
With plenty of feature packages available, shop for a 2016 RC 300 with one or more of these added to gain valuable extra features. For regular winter weather driving, pick a 2016 RC 300 with the All-Weather package for headlight washers, windshield wiper de-icing, and additional cabin heating capacity. The Luxury package includes heated and ventilated front seats and leather upholstery, while the Navigation Plus package adds a 17-speaker Mark Levinson premium surround sound audio system.
