In 2020, the popular Lexus RC F luxury sedan hits showroom floors with a number of upgrades, including a bit of a bump in power, a lighter weight, a refreshed chassis design, an upgraded suspension, and perhaps most exciting, the new RC F Track Edition. The F Track is a limited-edition high-end trim level that adds a number of options packages and features to the game, and many drivers wonder whether they should take the plunge. Let's look at the base RC F and how the 2020 Lexus RC F Track Edition compares. more Performance The 2020 Lexus RC F is a performance model of the RC Coupe. It comes standard with a 5.0-liter V-8 engine that delivers 472 horsepower backed up by 395 feet per pound in torque. It's matched with a specially tuned, eight-speed automatic transmission, an adaptive variable suspension, an Aisin limited-slip differential, beefy Brembo brakes, and 19-inch wheels made of forged alloy. The Track Edition, on the other hand, gives you a more aggressive performance. While the engine is the same, the Torsen limited-slip differential is tuned more toward sport performance. It gives a direct gear-type differential that provides unbelievable torque vectoring. Weight The Lexus RC F Track Edition also hits the road at a lighter bodyweight than the standard RC F. Due to standard carbon-ceramic brakes, it comes out at 121 pounds lighter, according to Lexus. This is even more important when you consider that the standard 2020 RC F is already 55 pounds lighter than last year's model thanks to a tweaked suspension, lighter intake manifold, hollow half-shafts, and other options. Aerodynamics Lexus has also taken steps to improve the aerodynamics on the Track Edition. The carbon-fiber rear wing, roof, and hood yield 58 pounds of downforce at 168 mph. The front splitter is aggressively shaped and includes a rubber spoiler underneath that is designed to smooth the airflow traveling beneath the car. This is all intended to reduce lift and drag and provide a more aggressive performance, especially at higher speeds. Suspension Dynamics While both cars nominally use the same springs for suspension, the Track Edition tunes the adaptive suspension dampers far more aggressively. This again helps to smooth out the ride, improve acceleration and handling, and provide a much more dramatic, confident, and athletic personality on the track. In the end, the Track Edition is an aggressive track car that still manages to balance its features with road-legal daily driving. For those who value performance out of their sport coupe, it will certainly provide a pulse-pounding ride and offer aggressive acceleration, athletic cornering, and authoritative handling at every step of the way. Of course, all of these upgrades and the limited-edition production numbers will result in a higher price tag.

If you're looking for a luxury crossover SUV, you can't go wrong with a Lexus. Lexus offers two very similar small crossovers in its lineup, the RX 350 and RX 450h, and many people find themselves wondering which one they should purchase and what the differences are between the two. Let's take a moment to examine the similarities and differences between the Lexus RX 350 and the Lexus RX 450h to see which one is the better option for you. Similarities The Lexus RX 350 and Lexus RX 450h look similar and share a number of features. Both come standard with Bluetooth for phone and audio, electronic parking aids, rearview cameras, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel with audio controls. They also share power-adjust seats up front, a universal garage-door opener, all-wheel drive with automatic traction control, automatic LED headlights, keyless entry, and adaptive cruise control to keep you safe as you drive. Both SUVs will hit showrooms in 2020 with upgraded suspension and handling, new styling at the front and rear, and upgraded technology, including the addition of smartphone integration for Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Amazon Alexa. more Power and Performance The first area where the RX 350 and RX 450h differ is in the power and performance put out by their engines. While both are driven by a 3.5-liter V-6 engine, the RX 350 in 2020 is expected to deliver 295 horsepower, while the RX 450h is expected to deliver up to 308 horsepower when it hits showrooms this fall. Both are good engines, but the 450h is expected to deliver a more powerful performance. Fuel Economy Another difference is how far you can go between trips to the gas station. The EPA-estimated fuel economy for the 350 is 20 mpg in the city and 28 mpg on the highway. The 450h, on the other hand, is estimated by the EPA to get 30 mpg on the highway and 28 mpg in the city. This is because the 450h is powered by a hybrid engine, which provides additional mileage. If the 2020 numbers hold up, the 450h will deliver more power and maintain a fuel-economy edge. Safety Technology The two SUVs provide the same safety package. The Lexus Safety System+ 2.0 powers both vehicles' active intelligent safety systems. This includes features such as Siri Eyes Free, lane-departure warning and intervention, front-crash warning, automatic emergency brakes, adaptive cruise control, automatic high beams, and a rearview camera. The 2020 model year adds some new features like low-light pedestrian detection, road-sign reading assist, lane tracing, and a brand-new and unique feature known as low-light bicyclist detection. The 2020 Lexus RX 350 and RX 450h are similar SUVs that will carry many of the same features. The 450h, however, will likely cost a bit more but come with more horsepower and noticeably better gas mileage. If a hybrid luxury crossover is appealing to you, you might want to look into the RX 450h when it hits the showroom at Lexus of Huntsville. If cost is paramount, check out the 350.
