Yahoo Autos 2023 Lexus RC costs a little more, makes a few little changes
The Lexus RC and RC F are finally ready to say hello to 2023. The eight-year-old coupe is still in its first generation, and the new model year car is not moving the needle much aside from two small, noticeable changes inside. Instead of the current car's two large analogue dials separated by a small digital screen, the new RC puts a new digital screen on the left, a large digital tachometer in center stage, and a small analogue speedo on the right. In the center stack, a new touchscreen infotainment display comes out from under the cowl built into the instrument panel to stand proud of the dash, tablet style. The standard screen measures eight inches across, upgradeable to 10.3 inches. Yes, there's still a trackpad just ahead of the armrest, but ... touchscreen. The last minor alterations inside are round vents by the doors instead of rectangular units, and an unnamed tweak made to the glovebox.
Prices for the 2023 RC after the $1,150 destination charge, and their changes from 2022 MSRPs are below:
RC 300: $45,470 ($1,500)
RC 300 AWD: $48,160 ($1,500)
RC 300 F Sport: $50,090 ($1,650)
RC 300 F Sport AWD: $52,380 ($1,765)
RC 350: $48,400 ($1,500)
RC 350 AWD: $50,565 ($1,500)
RC 350 F Sport: $53,020 ($1,650)
RC 350 F Sport AWD: $54,745 ($1,765)
RC F: $67,845 ($475)
RC F Track Edition: $100,720 (returning model)
The RC F Track Edition comes back after a two-year pause, replacing the RC F Fuji Speedway Edition sold in the meantime. The most recent Track Edition in 2020 cost $97,820, while last year's Fuji Speedway Edition cost $102,245, so the 2023 Track Edition runs a little more than splitting the difference.
