2020 Lexus RC vs. 2020 BMW M4
The Lexus RC is a beautiful and boldly-styled sports car that is sure to thrill any driver. The car features a roomy cabin as well as comfortable seats. The infotainment, as well as various driver,-assist features means that there is never a dull moment in this sporty sedan.
The 2020 BMW M4, on the other hand, comes as a 4-door sedan or two-door coupe. Designed to be on the sportier side, the M4 is an exciting car to drive although it has some issues with grip, especially when cornering. Here is how these two sporty cars compare to each other.
Design & Style
The 2020 Lexus RC does not lack in style. Its bold smooth lines ensure that it retains its sporty heritage. It comes with the Enform infotainment system as well as the Mark Levinson audio system as an option. Car owners have the option to upgrade to the 19-inch wheels which give the car an even more refined look.
The BMW M4, on the other hand, comes cloth-covered seats although for a little more money, you get the leather-seats options. The car also features automatic high beams as well as LED lights as an option. The outer styling remains largely unchanged from the 2019 version.
Technology & Safety
When it comes to technology, the 2020 Lexus RC comes with a variety of features. These include a 7-inch screen infotainment system that comes standard in all RC models. The system is simplified and can be controlled by a single knob at the center console. The vehicle also comes with 4G internet capability, Amazon Alexa as well as Apple CarPlay.
The BMW M4, on the other hand, comes with an 8.8 touchscreen infotainment system that runs on the iDrive software. The M4 also features a rotary controller just like the Lexus RC whose functions can also be controlled using buttons on the steering wheel. The M4 also features a 16-speaker audio system.
Performance
The Lexus RC comes with a turbocharged 6-cylinder engine that is powered by an 8-speed automatic transmission. The engine produces a total of 255 horsepower, which moves the Lexus RC from zero to sixty in just about 5.7 seconds.
The BMW M4 is powered by a twin-turbo engine that produces 425 horsepower. The engine is controlled by a six-speed manual transmission (or an 8-speed automatic transmission). The ride in the BMW M4 is far less comfortable than in the Lexus RC although the car handles fairly well.
The Bottom Line
While the Lexus RC and the BMW M4 are almost at par when it comes to technological features, the Lexus RC offers both comfort and a sporty drive all in one package. This makes the Lexus RC a car that is perfectly able to handle shopping runs just as easily as it can handle the racing track.
