This BMW 4 Series alternative can really be more in the Netherlands and this bright yellow copy is a picture.
Dutch people are simple. As soon as something falls into the price range of an Audi, BMW or Mercedes, an Audi, BMW or Mercedes is the nicer choice. In one way or another, those brands remain sacred. That’s a shame, because those alternatives in that price range are sometimes quite worth it.
Lexus RC
Take Lexus. From 2015 to 2020 you could buy their beautiful mid-range coupé: the RC. This car seems to have only focused on one model: the BMW 4 Series. Basically rear-wheel drive, mid-range coupe and even available as a super hot RC F with the 5.0 liter V8. What Lexus does differently is that the RC, at least here, was only available as an F or 300h. You can’t or won’t pay for the former and the latter means a hybrid four-cylinder with 223 hp. Which in itself is fine, but a car like this actually asks for a nice six-cylinder in the front.
You also have to be able to handle plastic and the old well-known Lexus infotainment, operated with a kind of mouse, is not brilliant either. In terms of reliability, however, Lexus has been unparalleled for years and that hybrid aspect also makes Lexus the most beautiful stranger in the bite that you are going to get. However, that does not work convincingly: there are about 190 copies of the Lexus RC with a Dutch registration. That’s what BMW sold three-and-a-half times in the WORST year of the 4 Series. Admittedly, that probably includes the Gran Coupe, but still. The coupe is dying out and if anyone chooses one, it probably won’t be a Lexus.
Banana yellow Lexus RC occasion
That’s too bad. Because such a Lexus RC is quite a cool box. Moreover – but this is subjective – the Lexus RC is a beautiful car. The proportions are right, the Spindlegrille is large but it also fits nicely into the design and the many folds and shapes are reminiscent of the LFA in a good way. Give it a sports package and a cool tan and you have something beautiful, as the occasion of the evening proves.
In our country, this delicious Lexus RC banana is for sale as an occasion. Lexus calls this banana color “Flare Yellow”. With 190 copies, the RC is already quite rare, but only one is registered in yellow. And that’s this one: so actually it’s unique. It is not an RC F, which automatically means that it is an RC 300h: as said 223 hp from a four-cylinder hybrid.
Occasion
The Lexus RC is no longer for sale in the Netherlands, so you are dependent on a used car anyway. This yellow banana, recently brought to the Netherlands, comes from 2019, but is therefore from after the facelift. In a previous life, the device has run 51,479 km. New, an F Sport Premium like this one in the Netherlands cost more than 62,000 euros, which was about the new price of this yellow Lexus RC occasion. So in itself you buy a great car with a range of options on it too. Well, the yellow color should be your thing, but that is accompanied by dark gray rims with orange brake calipers and therefore the F Sport package, which makes this RC a bit thicker than normal. A cream-colored interior completes the picture.
To buy
Well, this Lexus RC occasion is looking for a new owner and that could be you. It’s not perfect. Reliable, somewhat daring and secretly more beautiful than a 4 Series it is. And all that for 50,950 euros. Buy buy buy or at least show interest is possible on the ad of the Lexus RC occasion on Marktplaats.
