| Wheel drive type: | Rear wheel drive (RWD) | All wheel drive (AWD, 4x4) | |
| Ground clearance: | 130 mm (5.1 inches) | 100 mm (3.9 inches) | |
| Because of the higher ground clearance, Lexus RC can perform better on bad roads - it can go over higher obstacles and bumps. At the same time, the higher ground clearance can reduce stability and handling on paved roads, especially at higher speeds. Note, however, that this Lexus RC version does not have 4x4 drive, which is very important in poor road conditions. Choose from two 4x4 versions of Lexus RC 2014 if off-road driveability is important to you. | |||
