Detailed evaluation of Lexus RC 300 priced at 3,3 billion VND: SPORTS and SOFT

 Today we will experience the luxury sports car of the new Lexus RC 300. With a lot of experience, today's Takumi artisans have designed Lexus cars with sharp, modern and sophisticated lines. You will see all the lines on the car from front to back, from the mirror are focused on the logo.

Today's logo looks very different in design, the grille is also different, it is sportier although the details are very simple but modern. With cars like Lexus being a luxury car, equipment such as full led lights, corner lights, etc., are all led technology. Only details are all sharp details, the air intake is a bit plastic.

  2.0 Turbo engine, capacity is 241 hp, 350 Nm at low rpm from 1650 to 4000, Lexus machines are very quiet, the mold is generally beautiful. Really this is a beautiful car in a soft style, not like racing, racetrack. 

The mirrors on today's Lexus are quite similar, the airflow through the mirror, this is an aerodynamic design and sound reduction, reducing drag, airflow through the mirror slot is very important in car design. . 

The set of wheels I think is a bit ordinary compared to this car, this wheel is 18. The glass windows on today's Lexus are very beautiful, the chrome border looks very familiar, the sensors are submerged on the door. . The aerodynamic design on the sports car is very soft.

These are the details that when you study the aerodynamics on sports cars, F1 cars, you will see the effect of spoilers, pressurized wings or real cars. fast, aerodynamics plays a huge part. 

The door is just like other coupe doors, it does not have a contour on the door glass and when we close it, it automatically seals, these design parts are also very important about the front teeth to ensure reduced sound level, wind noise, impact of the cabin. 

 In general, the Lexus design is a design that has something very hot, if compared to the model from Germany, you will clearly see it is very different, bringing a completely separate language. Although it is a relatively small model, Lexus is like that, always balancing the elements between usability, optimizing the purpose of use very well, the trunk is very large that can hold a lot of things. travel. 

Even the canopy design avoids air interference. Equipment such as reversing camera, rear sensor, angle sensor, etc. are now very common and especially with a low-profile sports coupe design like this, details such as sensor cameras are very important. . When you sit in the cabin of all Lexus models that are equipped with sound systems and speakers, you will find very good sound, 17 speakers in a small space like this. 

When controlling the screen, you can use the touchpad itself, Lexus still keeps the principle of the touchpad. For me personally, I still like this trackpad next to it has an extra knob to control. Looking up above you will see all the details on a Lexus with a relatively good finish but in terms of materials, I think it needs to be more luxurious because the material is plastic, slightly scratched. 

Air conditioning system 2 independent zones. Going back to the details, you can see that this chair is a ventilated chair, this plastic is not really luxurious but can be durable over time. The knobs to adjust the driving mode eco, push normal, sport are very familiar already. 8-speed gearbox, meticulous seams on seats, steering wheel. 

The steering wheel design is very familiar, the gearshift sequence on the RC sports car is definitely a must, the basic control functions such as control buttons, cruise control system, the features are not difficult and also already very familiar. You also see on the door wall, there is a seat memory position, 3 seat memory positions with 8-way power adjustment. The seats are very soft, actually these are non-racing seats, but you will find it designed in a sporty way, the storage boxes are just right. 

Although the car is small, it still has a sunroof, a mirror without contours and very basic anti-glare. This car is designed 2 plus 2. A very small cabin but has 8 airbags, normally on a real sports car, even the beep and settings, suspension, steering, intervention levels Cards a lot but you guys consider this is a luxury sports car RC, soft sports car. The art of using marketing words for car companies must be said to be a master. 

 The advantage of Lexus cars, even though it is a sporty design car, you can completely put it on the track, it will have a different feel of the Lexus RC 300 compared to power-oriented models like AMG series, even cars with the same displacement, you will find this RC car going in the street very smoothly. For example, in eco mode, you should observe on the revs, when I increase the throttle slightly, it is very soft, the suspension when going through the speed bumps and the eels, you will see that it's very quiet. 

The chassis is also not too low when the design index is 135mm. I still have the sporty feeling, the smooth feeling of a Sedan, still as easy to use as a normal Sedan, and when needed, I can switch to sport mode to have more feelings about the ability to drive. qualities of the Lexus RC.

In fact, with these speed ranges, the engine is very soft and smooth, the 8-speed gearbox is also smooth, exactly, this is a smooth sports car, the steering wheel is small, the front view is also quite good. wide even in front of the car, although you can see the front end is sloping, but you can still adjust the seat to see the front of the car, then we can better align the car. Mirrors on sports cars are usually very thin, but Lexus is not, it still keeps the driving feeling of a Sedan with side mirrors and rearview mirrors on this car. 

I will take this car to the familiar road and highway lane. Here eco mode is meaningless, I want to try its sport mode and see how it goes. When you switch to this mode, you will see that the tachometer works at a higher level, even when pushing the throttle up, it's a little bit light to touch the back of the seat when I step on the accelerator in close mode, the mode hey you see the engine is more aggressive, even the gearbox is too, go slow but pay very quickly, there may be better acceleration when we make leaps but you will feel it anyway car runs very smoothly. 

The engine on German sports cars in sport mode, you see the rev counter is very drastic, with the Lexus up and down also decisive but not as drastic as the other models. That's why I call this car the smooth, soft sports car RC 300. 

Really respect the soundproofing ability of this model, low ground clearance, coupe design, small car but must be very confident about the soundproofing ability to be equipped with the Mark Levinson system. Use a dim number and enjoy the melodies and melodies on the highways, even if you bring it to the racetrack.

You'll have drastic redirects, you'll have enough blur. The smell of the car on this car is relatively pleasant, that is the humanity of the Japanese when creating products, having the opportunity to visit factories, talk with engineers, you will understand the philosophy and humanity.
