2019款雷克萨斯RC继8月底在线发布后，近日又亮相巴黎车展。该车的前大灯进行了改款，内装了新的LED日间行驶灯。如果觉得整个大灯组的造型看起来眼熟的话，那是因为其设计取自最新一代LC车型。仔细看会发现，硕大纺锤形网格格栅也获得了升级。车厂表示，保险杠边缘采用了新的进气口。将进气口设置在这个位置不仅是处于设计的考虑，而且也提升了车辆在高速行驶时的稳定性。底部的散流器也略微进行了轻度改款，尾灯组造型更粗壮，采用了更突出的L形。预计未来会有越来越多雷克萨斯车型采用这类设计。车辆内装提升有限，中控台进行了改款，空调出风口采用类似“发际线”设计，收音机面板采用更高档材质。消费者可选择7种内饰颜色组合，11种车身颜色，包括专门为F-Sport版本保留的涂装。该车搭载的2.0升涡轮增压引擎也获得升级，节气门反应更灵敏。另外，新车还配备了新的减震器，工程师对悬挂进行了更好的调校。随着2019款RC的亮相，更值得期待的RC F预计将在11月的洛杉矶车展或明年1月的北美车展发布。

 

2019 Lexus RC Brings Its Refreshed Face To Paris

After making its online premiere in late August this year, the refreshed 2019 Lexus RC is now making its first public appearance at the 2018 Paris Motor Show.

 

First and foremost, the headlights have been slightly reshaped and are home to new LED daytime running lights. If the overall shape of the clusters seems familiar to you, that’s because it’s inspired by the units used in the last-gen LC. Under closer inspection, you’ll also notice the mesh pattern of the massive spindle grille has been given an update. Lexus says the new air ducts at the back, positioned towards the corners of the bumper, don’t have a positive effect just on the design, but also improve the stability at higher speeds. The diffuser at the bottom has also been slightly revised, while the taillights feature a bolder shape and more pronounced L-shaped internal graphics. Get used to that, because we’ll be seeing it more and more in future Lexus models.

Interior improvements are limited to a revised center console and something called the “Hairline” treatment for the A/C and radio panels providing a “higher sense of quality.” Customers will be able to choose from a total of 7 interior color combinations in and 11 body colors, including those reserved to the F-Sport.

 

Probably more important revisions have been made to the 2.0-liter turbocharged engine, which now comes with improved throttle response. Adding new shock absorbers, the engineers of the company have finely retuned the suspension of the car, too.

 

With the refreshed 2019 RC now out and about, it’s probably just a matter of time until we see the facelifted RC F. This should happen at the end of November in L.A. or January 2019 in Detroit.
