Lexus has a long history of being one of the most well-regarded luxury car brands. The Japanese company, which is actually the luxury division of Toyota, has been around since the late 1980s and since has maintained the reputation for excellence of its parent company. Not only that, but Lexus has a diverse lineup of rides, much like Toyota.

One of their more recent options is the Lexus RC, which was unveiled in 2014. However, everyone’s favorite version of this car is the F trim. This is the high-performance variant of the RC, which stands for Radical Coupe. The F in the name signifies both flagship and Fuji Speedway, which is the main test site for Lexus performance car development.

There is a new model of the exciting Lexus RC F on the market. So far, people are liking it, but why exactly? Is it due to the sporty luxury of this ride? Or, is it the bang for buck that results from the starting price tag?

Here is the best feature of the Lexus RC F.

The Best Feature is Value

People don’t often talk about value when it comes to luxury cars. This is because that section of cars is expected to be expensive with the promise of delivering a great car. The Lexus RC F is great, but it’s not too terribly expensive. Yes, the starting price tag is still out of reach for lots of people, but for a luxury car with this much power, this is a pretty good deal. According to Edmunds.com, the base model starts at $65,720. However, if you wanted to upgrade to the Fuji Speedway Edition the price goes up a good bit. This one starts at $101,095.

The base model has a 5-liter V8 under its hood, along with an eight-speed shiftable automatic transmission. This rear-wheel-drive ride has a max 472-hp at 7,100 rpm. For torque, you can expect 395 lb-ft at 4,800 rpm. The 2022 Lexus has a double overhead cam as well as variable valve timing.

All of this leads to a 3.9 second 0 to 60 time for the standard model of the Lexus RC F. For the special edition model, it’s 3.9 seconds, according to motorauthority.

The more expensive Fuji Speedway Edition has the same engine specs as the base model. However, there are design features and changes that make this one special.

Also related to the value of this vehicle is the fuel economy. This car gets 16 miles to the gallon in the city and 24 on the highway. While these numbers may not sound amazing, and they are not, they are decent for a luxury sports coupe. The overall range for the 2022 Lexus RC F is 278.4 miles in the city and 417.6 miles on the highway. The fuel tank has a capacity of 17.4 gallons. This Lexus requires premium unleaded fuel.

Another reason this car is a great value is the technology used to keep passengers entertained. The base models get a 10-speaker audio system that comes with SiriusXM satellite radio. Other standard features are Bluetooth, support for both Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, as well as hassle-free device integration. The Lexus RC F is also compatible with Amazon Alexa. There is also a Wi-Fi hotspot.

The infotainment system has a 7-inch display screen, but you can upgrade it to a 10.3 inch if you need more space for your content. Integrated navigation is also included.

Not related to entertainment technology, but this is also a safe car. It comes with standard forward-collision warning with pedestrian detection. There is also lane departure warning with lane-keeping assist. This means you can seat up to four and know that everyone will be safe. The safety rating is not currently available, but the previous model achieved a 10 out of 10. It’s safe to assume this one will, too.

Lexus has pretty much always been known for producing great cars. They may not always be the fastest or the flashiest, but they are great cars. Luckily, the Lexus RC F is attainable for more people than luxury cars usually are. By no means is it a cheap car, but comparatively speaking, it brings a great deal of value to the table.

People love this car because it’s fast, it has all the latest technology, and it’s also a Lexus that won’t break the bank. This new 2022 model fits perfectly into the company’s lineup. What sets Lexus apart from other luxury car companies is that its goal is simply to make quality cars and not always to be the boldest in terms of new ideas. They know what works, but they’re also not complacent. These are some of the reasons their cars are so popular.
