What's New for the 2025 Lexus RC?

For the 2025 model year, F Sport versions of the Lexus RC now feature bold red brake calipers, replacing the orange ones previously used. This update adds a fresh and more aggressive visual touch to the performance-oriented trims.

What Are the 2025 RC Trims & Features?

The 2025 Lexus RC lineup includes a variety of trims: RC 300, RC 350, and the high-performance RC F. Both the RC 300 and RC 350 are available in F Sport configurations, offering enhanced styling and sport-tuned performance. The RC 300 is offered with either rear-wheel drive (RWD) or all-wheel drive (AWD), allowing drivers to select the setup that best matches their preferences.

Standard features on the base RC 300 include an 8.0-inch touchscreen display with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration, as well as a 10-speaker sound system for an immersive audio experience.

For those who enjoy spirited driving, the RC 300 F Sport introduces adaptive variable suspension for improved handling. It also features unique design elements inside and out that emphasize its performance roots.

The RC 300 AWD builds on the base trim by adding all-wheel-drive capability and heated front seats as standard. There's also an F Sport AWD variant for drivers who want both style and traction in one package.

If you're looking for more power, the RC 350 is a great step up. The RC 350 F Sport sits at the top of the range and can be equipped with performance-enhancing options like Lexus Dynamic Handling and a Torsen limited-slip differential for added control and responsiveness.
