The Lexus RC 300h Is Updated: Equipment and Prices
The Lexus RC 300h received a restyling for the 2019 model year, bringing aesthetic, technological and functional refinements to the Japanese brand’s hybrid coupe.
Design and interior
The exterior was revised to give the RC 300h a sharper, more aggressive and elegant appearance inspired by the Lexus LC. Inside, the arrangement of the controls is intended to emphasize driving enjoyment while retaining the comfort needed for longer journeys.
Driving revisions
Lexus recalibrated the suspension, steering feel and engine response. The update also introduced changes to the car’s aerodynamics and tires.
Hybrid powertrain
The self-charging hybrid system combines a 2.5-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine operating on the Atkinson cycle with an electric motor. Power is delivered to the rear wheels through an E-CVT transmission.
| Specification | Details |

| Gasoline-engine output | 181 CV |
| Electric-motor output | 143 CV |
| Transmission | E-CVT |
| Drive | Rear-wheel drive |

The individual engine and motor figures are not directly additive because both components reach their maximum output under different operating conditions.
