About the 2025 Lexus RC
The 2025 Lexus RC enters the segment offering nine distinct trims, anchored by a base output of 241 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque from its turbocharged four-cylinder engine option. Priced from $45,620 up to $92,825, the RC positions itself across a significant value spectrum for a rear-wheel-drive coupe. Efficiency figures for the base powertrain hover at a combined 25 MPG (21 city/31 highway), demanding premium unleaded fuel. Despite its sporting intentions, the 2025 Lexus RC accommodates four passengers within dimensions of 185.0 inches in length and a wheelbase of 107.5 inches. Notably, the rear accommodations offer limited space, evidenced by just 27.3 inches of rear legroom, which buyers must balance against the practical 10.4 cu ft of cargo capacity.
