Lexus RC350 FAQs

• Is the Lexus RC350 a good car?

  Among luxury coupes, the RC350 is a respectable name, and it ranks fairly well compared with some other options in this category. With that said, although it is quick, it is by no means as quick as some of its peers, and it doesn't quite have the second-row space either, especially in terms of headroom. On the other hand, the RC350 is a real show-stopper when it comes to comfort, style, and value, so you can tick those boxes off with complete faith of a premium package at hand.

• What is the difference between the Lexus RC300 and RC350?

  The biggest differentiator between these two models is centred on their performance credentials. Whereas the RC300 is a solid four-cylinder model, albeit one that might feel lacking a little oomph, the RC350 is a different kettle of fish, backed by a 3.5-litre V6 that offers far greater depth across both the fields of power and torque. Price differences between the two models are relatively modest, so it should be noted that the RC350 could be considered the better value pick between the two. Mind you, that will depend on what you can find in the second-hand market, as the RC series is no longer sold down under.

• How fast is the Lexus RC350?

  With far more power than its baby brother, the Lexus RC350 also clocks in as a significantly quicker unit, even though it also weighs quite a bit. You can expect the Lexus RC350 to go from 0-100km/h in just 5.7 seconds, which is more than 1 second clear of the RC300. This is all thanks to the 3.5-litre petrol V6, which offers an impressive 233kW of power at 6400rpm, and 378Nm of torque at 4800rpm. Of course, if you want something even faster that comes in the form of coupe guise, the Lexus RC F is well worth a closer inspection.
