Lexus RC Engines and Transmissions

The Lexus RC engine lineup in this restyling is about matching a powertrain to how you drive the Coupe. Selected examples include the 2.0 AT and 3.5 AT gasoline automatics, both with rear-wheel drive. The 2.5 CVT hybrid uses a variable transmission on the same drivetrain for smoother everyday use.

Lexus RC Trims and Equipment

Lexus RC trim levels describe equipment packages on a given technical version, not a different engine. On the 2.0 AT Coupe, you can choose Luxury or F-Sport while keeping the gasoline automatic and rear-wheel drive. Luxury leans toward comfort-focused equipment; F-Sport is the sportier-styled alternative on that same powertrain.
