Lexus is renowned for its top-tier craftsmanship and adoption of premium materials, and the RC F is no exception. All the main touchpoints are soft to the touch and build quality seems high in general, while the comfortable seats are supportive, plush, and richly upholstered. The cabin is soundly built to the finest detail and an abundance of sound deadening isolates exterior noise with great efficacy. Overall ergonomics are impressive for the most part, the positioning and reach of the controls to the driver's benefit, while the adjustability of the steering wheel and driver's seat allow for flexibility in terms of drivers of all shapes and sizes getting comfortable. Cabin space is adequate for front passengers, but as a coupe, the rear seat space is limited, while in terms of storage, practicality is severely limited.
The two-door luxury sports coupe seats a total of four occupants. The front seats are spacious and comfortably padded and are adequately supportive by virtue of the enhanced bolsters. The rear seats are confined and are not suitable for tall adults, but are also comfortably padded and contoured, seeming more GT than a sports coupe. Head and legroom are ample in the front cabin but get a lot tighter in the rear. The RC F is easy to live with as ingress and egress are effortless thanks to large doors and a comfortable seating position, and access to the rear seats is made tolerable thanks to the highly adjustable front seats. The driver's seat is positioned nicely and seats the driver within easy reach of the controls and with ample all-round visibility.

Four interior upholstery options are available for the RC F, with the base option being black NuLuxe upholstery paired with either silver performance trim or black carbon fiber trim. Leather is available in either Black, Stratus Gray, or Circuit Red, but all accented with black carbon fiber trim. If you're lucky enough to receive access to the Tenth Anniversary Special Edition Package, the RC F's interior receives Fuji Blue leather trim on the steering wheel, seats, instrument panel cowl, and shift lever, blue carbon fiber trim on the doors, blue front seat belts, a white marker stripe on the steering wheel, and an embossed headliner.
As with most two-door sport coupes, trunk and cargo space are rather limited in the RC F, however, relative to class rivals the RC F comes up short. Just 10.1 cubic feet of space is available in the trunk, that's enough room to secure a laptop case and gym bag and maybe a couple of grocery bags. The rear seats in the RC F don't fold down at all so the trunk space is not expandable, though there is a small trunk pass-through in the rear center armrest. Beneficially, the trunk is deep and the trunk lid opens decently wide.
Storage capability in the cabin is equally limited, the front cabin featuring only a moderately sized center console and glove box, narrow door side pockets, and two cupholders. There are two cupholders in the rear cabin too.

The RC F is equipped with a decent range of standard vehicle features overall, the notable comfort and convenience features include SmartAccess with push-button Start/Stop, dual-zone climate control, an auto-dimming rear-view mirror, and sport ten-way power-adjustable driver's seat and eight-way front passenger's seat. It's also equipped with appealing LFA-inspired instrumentation including G-force display and lap timer, paddle shifters on the sport steering wheel, and a Drive Mode Select with Sport S, Sport S+ and Custom drive modes. Available options include driver's memory function, as well as a power sunroof, while assistance features comprise a rearview camera, lane keep assist, adaptive cruise control, and automatic high beams, with blind-spot monitoring and park assist optionally available.
雷克萨斯经常被批评为一个令人迷惑的fotainment system, and unfortunately, the RC F is no different. The infotainment system's Remote Touch Interface is one of the most unintuitive controllers around, making it difficult to navigate the system. The standard setup comprises a seven-inch color display and a ten-speaker premium sound system. Integrated compatibility with the Scout GPS Link with MapStream and TurnStream modes is complimentary for the first three years of ownership, subscription-free traffic and weather updates are provided via the HD radio, and Lexus' Enform Remote app and Amazon Alexa compatibility is complimentary for the first year of ownership. New for 2019 is Apple CarPlay functionality, but Android Auto is still noticeably absent. WiFi hotspot capability is included and comes with a four-GB/one-year trial. Bluetooth connectivity, Dynamic Voice Command, and Siri Eyes Free are standard, and there is a single USB port for device charging. Navigation is optionally available, as is a 17-speaker Mark Levinson sound system.
