The mid-size Lexus RC Coupe is one of the few survivors in a dying segment. Luxury coupes used to be a prominent fixture on our roads, but not so much anymore. Three versions of the regular RC are available, one using a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine and two with naturally aspirated V6s.
Both rear-wheel and all-wheel drive can be optioned on the RC. Those looking for more performance will want to step up to the RC F.

2021 Lexus RC 350 AWD Review: First Drive
My first drive of the 2021 Lexus RC 350 does not come at an ideal time.
There’s no snow, despite it being December in Canada. Nothing was rushed, and everything in the RC functioned without a single issue. There were even some of the very best roads I’d drive all year.
No, the main hurdle facing the Lexus RC 350 was that I was driving it directly before the heavily-revised 2021 IS sport sedan that day. The RC was a two-door amuse-bouche, and a particularly unique one in this Black Line Special Edition form. Limited to just 350 units, it’s rarer than the sensational LC flagship.
