The world premiere of the updated Lexus RC coupe in 2018-2019 will be held as part of the Paris Motor Show in October this year.<a href=\"https:\/\/auto.inform.click\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/post-230615-6250ec41c8994.webp\" data-rel=\"lightbox\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"SDStudio-light-box-enable SDStudio-editor-tools-md-imp\" src=\"https:\/\/auto.inform.click\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/post-230615-6250ec41c8994.webp\" alt=\"Lexus RC in 2019 - restyling of the Lexus RS coupe\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The start of sales of the restyled version of the Lexus RS in Japan and America will be in the fall of 2018, but recently the updated two-door Japanese will appear only at the beginning of the next <a href=\"https:\/\/auto.inform.click\/en\/great-wall-p-series-2019-new-pickup-great-wall\/\" class=\"sds-arl\">2019<\/a>. According to preliminary information, <strong>the price<\/strong> of the restyled Lexus RC in the coupe in the current market will remain on the pre-reform model, that is from 3,979,000 conventional units for a coupe with a gasoline 245-horsepower turbo-four in a company with 8 automatic transmissions and rear-wheel drive.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/auto.inform.click\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/post-230615-6250ec42db66b.webp\" data-rel=\"lightbox\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"SDStudio-light-box-enable SDStudio-editor-tools-md-imp\" src=\"https:\/\/auto.inform.click\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/post-230615-6250ec42db66b.webp\" alt=\"Lexus RC in 2019 - restyling of the Lexus RS coupe\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The pre-reform two-door Lexus in Kazakhstan is based on a combined platform of four-door sedans Lexus and Lexus GS entered the market 4 years ago (the <a href=\"https:\/\/auto.inform.click\/en\/three-real-suvs-that-have-no-analogues-in-the-world\/\" class=\"sds-arl\">world<\/a> premiere took place in April 2014 at the New York Auto Show). And I can honestly say that I did not meet the expectations of the Lexus management. From the beginning of sales, the implementation of the two-door coupe leaves much to be desired. By the end of 2016, only 11,165 coupes were sold in the US, and last year, less than 7,363 cars were sold. Also sad is the sale of the Lexus RS in <a href=\"https:\/\/auto.inform.click\/en\/heated-toyota-yaris-gr-sport-for-europe-factory-tuning-without-an-increase-in-power\/\" class=\"sds-arl\">Europe<\/a>, with 1,815 cars sold in 2016 and 1,390 cars sold in 2017. By the way, in the current market in 2016, only 13 Lexus RC coupes found their owners and in 2017, 12 copies of the Lexus RS.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/auto.inform.click\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/post-230615-6250ec4406a68.webp\" data-rel=\"lightbox\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"SDStudio-light-box-enable SDStudio-editor-tools-md-imp\" src=\"https:\/\/auto.inform.click\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/post-230615-6250ec4406a68.webp\" alt=\"Lexus RC in 2019 - restyling of the Lexus RS coupe\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/auto.inform.click\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/post-230615-6250ec4528a00.webp\" data-rel=\"lightbox\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"SDStudio-light-box-enable SDStudio-editor-tools-md-imp\" src=\"https:\/\/auto.inform.click\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/post-230615-6250ec4528a00.webp\" alt=\"Lexus RC in 2019 - restyling of the Lexus RS coupe\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Thus, the restyling of 2018 can be called for an emergency sports two-door coupe Lexus RC car, although, and this is, by and large, cosmetic. As mentioned at the beginning of our review, the updated RC coupe has tweaked the exterior, giving it a closer resemblance to the Lexus LNR coupe, tweaked the interior and upgraded the suspension and steering.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/auto.inform.click\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/post-230615-6250ec4642ed8.webp\" data-rel=\"lightbox\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"SDStudio-light-box-enable SDStudio-editor-tools-md-imp\" src=\"https:\/\/auto.inform.click\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/post-230615-6250ec4642ed8.webp\" alt=\"Lexus RC in 2019 - restyling of the Lexus RS coupe\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/auto.inform.click\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/post-230615-6250ec4770daf.webp\" data-rel=\"lightbox\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"SDStudio-light-box-enable SDStudio-editor-tools-md-imp\" src=\"https:\/\/auto.inform.click\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/post-230615-6250ec4770daf.webp\" alt=\"Lexus RC in 2019 - restyling of the Lexus RS coupe\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The exterior of the two-door helicopter received a new, fully LED headlights (in a single unit located in a three-story section of low beam headlights, LED running lights and stylish strokes of LED running lights), a mesh grille grille for all versions without exception (previously installed only on the coupe performed by F Sport), upgraded front bumper with large side air ducts, modified rear bumper with real air ducts and diffuser, new large rear lights with tides at the bottom extreme points and with bright L-shaped sections, another trunk lid.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/auto.inform.click\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/post-230615-6250ec489df70.webp\" data-rel=\"lightbox\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"SDStudio-light-box-enable SDStudio-editor-tools-md-imp\" src=\"https:\/\/auto.inform.click\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/post-230615-6250ec489df70.webp\" alt=\"Lexus RC in 2019 - restyling of the Lexus RS coupe\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Lexus says the new bodywork has improved the coupe's aerodynamics, and the stylish new alloy <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"\/recomendet-appsumo\" title=\"design\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\">design<\/a> of the 19-inch wheels adds to the car's elegance.

Interior specialists added leather-trimmed side consoles, a new and more comfortable armrest between the front seats, an analog clock with a black dial like a Lexus LPR, and metal-look ventilation vents.
