  • Reliability (4)
    4 out of 5 stars
    Lexus is known for its reliability, and the RC 300 generally lives up to that reputation with few reported issues.
  • Maintenance (4)
    4 out of 5 stars
    Maintenance costs are typically reasonable for a luxury vehicle, and Lexus dealerships offer good service.
  • Technology (3)
    3 out of 5 stars
    The infotainment system is functional but can feel a bit dated compared to newer systems. Features are present, but the touchpad interface isn't the most intuitive.
  • Comfort (4)
    4 out of 5 stars
    The cabin is well-appointed and quiet, providing a comfortable experience for daily driving. Front seats are supportive, but rear seats are quite cramped.
  • Dynamics (3)
    3 out of 5 stars
    The RC 300 offers a balanced ride, but it's not the sportiest coupe in its class. Acceleration is adequate, and handling is predictable, though it lacks the sharp engagement of some rivals.

2017 Lexus RC 300: A Stylish and Refined Sports Coupe

The 2017 Lexus RC 300 offers a compelling blend of head-turning styling, a comfortable and luxurious interior, and a refined driving experience, all wrapped in a premium coupe package. Positioned as a more accessible entry into Lexus's performance-oriented RC lineup, the RC 300 focuses on delivering a sophisticated and engaging ride without the extreme performance of its F Sport siblings.

Highlights

  • Engine: The RC 300 is powered by a 3.5-liter V6 engine that produces a respectable 255 horsepower and 252 lb-ft of torque. This powertrain, paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission, delivers smooth and responsive acceleration suitable for everyday driving and spirited cruising. While not a powerhouse, the V6 offers a pleasingly refined sound and ample power for confident overtakes.
  • Safety Features: Lexus is renowned for its commitment to safety, and the 2017 RC 300 is no exception. Standard and available safety features include:
    • Standard Airbags: A comprehensive suite of airbags, including front, front-side, knee, and side-curtain airbags, provide multi-stage protection for occupants.
    • Backup Camera: Aids in reversing by providing a clear view of the area behind the vehicle, helping to prevent accidental collisions.
    • Lexus Safety System+ (Optional Package): This advanced suite of active safety technologies can significantly enhance driver awareness and accident prevention. It typically includes:
      • Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection: Uses radar and camera systems to detect potential frontal collisions and can automatically apply the brakes to mitigate or avoid impact.
      • Dynamic Radar Cruise Control: Maintains a pre-set speed and distance from the vehicle ahead, automatically adjusting speed as traffic conditions change.
      • Lane Departure Alert: Alerts the driver with an audible and visual warning if the vehicle begins to drift out of its lane without the turn signal activated.
      • Intelligent High Beams: Automatically switches between high and low beams based on ambient light and oncoming traffic, improving nighttime visibility.
  • Trim Summary:
    • RC 300: This is the foundational trim, offering a luxurious and well-equipped experience with features like leather-trimmed seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, and a user-friendly infotainment system.
    • RC 300 F SPORT: Elevates the RC 300 experience with sportier styling elements, including a more aggressive front fascia, unique F SPORT badging, and a performance-tuned suspension. Inside, it boasts enhanced sport seats and exclusive F SPORT trim accents.
  • All-Wheel Drive: For enhanced traction and stability, especially in inclement weather, the RC 300 is available with all-wheel drive (AWD), making it a more versatile option for buyers in colder climates.
  • Infotainment and Technology: The 2017 RC 300 features Lexus's Enform infotainment system, controlled via a 10.3-inch display. While the Remote Touch controller can be a point of contention for some, it offers access to navigation, audio, and various connectivity features.

What to Expect

Owning a 2017 Lexus RC 300 typically means a smooth, quiet, and comfortable driving experience. Lexus is known for its exceptional build quality and attention to detail, which translates into a premium feel and a high level of interior refinement. The ride is generally well-balanced, offering a good compromise between comfort for daily commuting and a sense of athleticism for more engaging drives.

Maintenance: As a Lexus, the RC 300 is expected to have reliable long-term durability and relatively predictable maintenance costs. Routine maintenance, such as oil changes, filter replacements, and tire rotations, will be standard. Being a luxury vehicle, parts and specialized labor might be more expensive than for mainstream brands, but the frequency of major repairs is generally lower. Adhering to the recommended maintenance schedule in the owner's manual is crucial for preserving its longevity and performance.

Insurance: Insurance costs for a luxury coupe like the RC 300 can vary significantly based on factors like your driving record, location, age, and chosen coverage. However, as a premium vehicle with advanced safety features and a powerful engine, expect insurance premiums to be higher than for a comparable sedan or smaller vehicle. Obtaining quotes from multiple insurance providers is advisable.

Potential Considerations

While the RC 300 excels in many areas, potential buyers should be aware of a few aspects:

  • Rear Seat Space: As a coupe, the rear seating is quite limited, particularly in terms of legroom and headroom. It's best suited for occasional passengers or children. Accessing the rear seats can also be a bit cumbersome.
  • Infotainment Interface: The Remote Touch controller for the infotainment system can be a love-it-or-hate-it feature. Some users find it intuitive once accustomed, while others find it distracting and less precise than a touchscreen.
  • Fuel Economy: While not exceptionally poor for its class, the fuel economy of the 3.5-liter V6 is moderate. Buyers prioritizing maximum fuel efficiency might want to consider other options or be prepared for the associated fuel costs.
  • Trunk Space: The trunk offers a practical amount of space for everyday needs, but it's not exceptionally large, which is common for sporty coupes.

Overall Summary

The 2017 Lexus RC 300 stands out as a well-executed luxury sports coupe that prioritizes style, comfort, and a refined driving experience. It offers a solid foundation of luxury features and the renowned reliability associated with the Lexus brand. While the rear seats and infotainment interface might not be for everyone, for those seeking an attractive and sophisticated coupe that delivers a smooth and enjoyable ride, the RC 300 is a highly commendable choice. It represents a stylish statement and a comfortable companion for daily driving, with the flexibility of optional all-wheel drive for enhanced all-weather capability.
