New 2027 Lexus RC 300 Review, Price, MPG

New 2027 Lexus RC 300 Review, Price, MPG – Since the ever-present entry-level luxury sedan is so closely connected to Toyota’s reliable mid-sizer, it has certainly been a bit of a challenge to persuade purchasers to shell out cash for a new Lexus ES. However, the stunning New New 2027 Camry, which debuted this year, was a dramatic upgrade over the previous generation’s family sedan and the ES 300 in terms of both performance and handling. It became much more difficult to justify the somewhat greater ES.

An upgrade to the Lexus ES sedan was inevitable, and the wait was well worth it. The current model is a marked improvement over its predecessor. It would appear that Lexus is attempting to increase the brand’s market share by making all of its vehicles more sporty and offering better driving characteristics.

This is a logical step, considering the high-end brand’s track record of producing well-respected, aesthetically pleasing, and very well-built computers. Even though they weren’t exactly thrilling to drive, previous ES models were renowned to be reliable investments. New 2027 Lexus RC 300 Review

Exterior and Interior

Even though it sounds a lot like the Camry, the new ES is light years ahead of its predecessors thanks to all of these upgrades. The inside is where the all-new Lexus really shines. The most remarkable feature of the new ES 350, aside from its more rigorous construction methods, which include laser welding, is its cockpit. Here you may find a plethora of information that a driver can access easily; the remainder of the interior is meant to provide passengers a light and airy atmosphere.

Thanks to an extended wheelbase, the new ES offers extra space in the back for passengers’ legs. In fact, Lexus goes so far as to say that the new ES has more legroom in the back than their full-size LS sedan. Rear headroom is preserved despite a more angular roofline because to a lower hip-point.

The most noticeable change, obviously, is located within the F Sport’s cabin. Here, the designers at Lexus took cues from the age-old art of Japanese swordmaking to produce a metal trim that is both eye-catching and multi-faceted. Genuine wood accents will be available on other ES variants.

The 2018 Lexus ES 350 and ES 300h appear to be substantial upgrades to the well-liked entry-level luxury sedan from Lexus, which is not surprising considering the new Camry’s excellent performance. Adaptive suspension, a luxurious interior, Apple CarPlay, a better dealership experience, and the highly sought-after “L” badges all work together to make the ES 350 a stronger case than before against the Camry and its direct rivals.

If the key to staying relevant and increasing sales in the entry-level luxury machine market is to produce more visually appealing and energetic machines, then Lexus should witness a pleasant bump to its already healthy ES model sales with this new machine. September is when you can buy the brand new 2027 Lexus ES 300 and ES 300h in Canada. As the model’s release date approaches, pricing information will be made available.

Engine and Performance

Ironically, there is a lever up high that allows you to fold the front seats forward for more cargo space, but in practice, you’re more likely to use it to stow your gym bag or luggage than to fold a person with real legs back there. On the bright side, there’s a spacious 295 liter trunk in the back, which is respectable for a two-door vehicle. While it may not seem like much, you can rest certain that your golf equipment will be easily transported to and from each round thanks to the fold-down seats.

From behind the wheel, this 3.5-liter V6 performed admirably, maintaining a rather quiet attitude that could be swiftly amplified with the use of the shift paddles included with the six-speed gearbox. It has a respectable 6.3-second dash to 100 km/h, but it isn’t exactly the fastest in its class thanks to its 307 horsepower and 277 lb-ft of torque, which kick in at more practical 4,800 rpm. New 2027 Lexus RC 300 Review

New 2027 Lexus RC 300 Fuel Economy

These figures are anticipated to be a standout feature of the vehicle, similar to the Camry’s, and they indicate a 34 horsepower and 19 lb-ft improvement over the 2018 ES 350. In order to provide a more thrilling driving experience, Lexus has equipped F Sport vehicles with an Engine Sound Enhancement technology that, when used in Sport+ mode, artificially amplifies engine noise. The front wheels receive power from the eight-speed automatic gearbox, which is designed to aid in fuel economy (all-wheel-drive is not an option).

If you’re an ES buyer concerned about gas mileage, the 300h is the way to go. It comes equipped with the latest Lexus Hybrid Drive system, which uses a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine and a new electric motor—which is lighter and more powerful than before—to produce 215 horsepower. While official EPA ratings for the ES 200h and ES 300h are still in the works, Lexus is claiming an outstanding combined rate of 5.3 L/100 km for the 300h.

New 2027 Lexus RC 300 Safety Features

When you go from the standard Normal to Sport+, the active sound control—yes, the false piped-in engine noise—turns up the level the highest, completely altering the RC 350’s character. Impressively, the technology blends in with the background noise, making it hard to tell where the actual engine sounds ends and the virtual one starts. Even in S mode, the adaptive suspension adjusts for crisper handling and reduced body roll, so you’re never uncomfortably squished in this rather heavy premium coupe.

No, that’s not right. If you sit in the front seats of this automobile, you’ll never feel uncomfortable. You should be especially kind to the person in front of you if you find yourself confined to the cramped back seats, whether it’s because of a harsh bet you lost or because of seismic weather activity that has you fleeing for shelter.

New 2027 Lexus RC 300 Price and Release Date

First, we’ll go over the opulence. The RC unquestionably has a high-end cabin that is both comfortable and well-appointed. Starting at $48,850 (MSRP), the most affordable RC 300 AWD model is equipped with a 10-speaker audio, keyless Smart Key entry, heated front seats, power adjustments, heated steering wheel, two USB ports, paddle shifters, and a HomeLink universal garage-door opener, among other standard equipment.

The base price of a 2017 RC 300 AWD (the model I drove) is $59,050. Options like adaptive suspension front and rear, 19-inch wheels, navigation, memory for the driver, blind-spot monitoring, heated front seats, and a digital instrument cluster reminiscent of the late Lexus LFA supercar are nice touches.

This tester’s as-tested price reached $65,171 when you include in the unique paint and $3,300 F Sport Series 2 option package, which ups the ante to a 17-speaker Mark Levinson sound system, dynamic radar cruise control, and an active parking assist system. Very fair in the luxury market, where extras may add fifteen or twenty grand to a price tag, particularly when comparing the 255 hp RC 300 to the 307 hp RC 350, which offers more power and better performance. New 2027 Lexus RC 300 Review
