First Impressions 1994 Lexus SC300 Base

The 1994 SC300 is an important vehicle to Lexus for the coupe market segment. The Base is a member of a series of one trim levels for the SC300 which include Base. The two-door car with its rear-wheel drive is positioned to aggressively fill this niche for Lexus. There is strong competition from vehicles from Lexus.

Performance

The SC300 Base is equipped with a Toyota 3.0 liter six-cylinder engine that utilizes 24 valves. The engine is mated to a Toyota 4-speed Transmission. This configuration has proven to be a successful design for Lexus.

The fuel system for the 1994 SC300 is a traditional MPI, running on gasoline fuel. The fuel is controlled by an electronic system and is a fuel-injected MFI design. The capacity of the fuel tank is 18.50 gallons.

The SC300 uses power-assisted brakes, with 4-Wheel ABS support. The front brakes are disc while the rear brakes are disc. Steering is handled through a power-steering rack-style configuration. The car uses coil and coil springs front and rear respectively.

SC300 Base Statistics

The dimensions of the SC300 Base are 70.10 inches wide by 187.80 inches long. It sits a comfortable 53.90 inches off the ground. It seats a standard five passengers, with 2 doors. The wheelbase of 103.10 allows for limited leg room for the backseat passengers.

The listed retail price in 1994 (MSRP) was $31,200, with an invoice cost of an industry-low price. This price is slightly higher than the industry average price for a two-door Coupe.

The standard warranty period for the SC300 is 60* months, or 50,000* miles, whichever comes first. The warranty also includes a warranty on the drivetrain for 36* months or 50,000* miles respectively. This is standard in the coupe market. Extended warranties are also available through the dealer.

Fuel Efficiency

The SC300 Base received a miles-per-gallon rating of eighteen in-city driving and twenty four when it came to long-distance. Being a gas-powered non-green car, this was subpar.

In Summary

The 1993 model began the promise of the Lexus SC300. The 1994 expanded on this success and has proven to be a strong seller in most markets. Even with strong competition from other manufacturers Lexus hopes that the SC300 Base will continue to be a profitable vehicle.
