The 2019 Lexus RC 300 has the look of a racy sports car. But it is made for comfortable cruising, not clipping apexes on a racetrack. The 300 is the most affordable model of the RC line, and its two engine options deliver less than heart-stopping performance. Even so, the 300's suspension tuning and interior amenities provide excellent support for miles and miles.

For 2019, the RC 300 benefits from styling updates borrowed from Lexus' flagship coupe, the LC 500. The RC also upgrades its infotainment system with new Amazon Alexa and Apple CarPlay capability. Lexus says it has also recalibrated the turbocharged engine to improve responsiveness and revised the suspension to enhance performance.

Overall, these changes lead to a more refined RC 300, one that plays to its strengths as a highway cruiser and comfortable commuter. If that's the kind of car you want, the 2019 Lexus RC 350 is a strong contender. Just be aware that some of its similarly luxurious rivals offer superior performance potential.

The 2019 Lexus RC 300 comes in two main versions: base and F Sport. Both offer a choice of powertrain. The rear-wheel-drive model is powered by a turbocharged four-cylinder engine (241 horsepower, 258 pound-feet of torque) and drives the rear wheels through an eight-speed automatic transmission.

Standard feature highlights for the base RC 300 include 18-inch wheels, LED headlights, keyless entry and ignition, dual-zone automatic climate control, a rearview camera, power-adjustable front seats, heated seats (AWD models only), simulated leather upholstery, a 60/40-split folding rear seat, Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay, a 7-inch display, and a 10-speaker sound system with satellite radio.
