The Lexus SC400 Base for 1994: Improving on 1993
The 1994 SC400 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 SC400 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 Toyota.
Performance
The SC400 Base is equipped with a Toyota 4.0 liter eight-cylinder engine that utilizes 32 valves. The engine is mated to a Toyota 4-speed Transmission. This configuration has proven to be a successful design for Lexus.
The SC400 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.
The fuel system for the 1994 SC400 is a SFI design, running on gasoline fuel. The fuel flow is regulated by a electronic system and is a fuel-injected MFI design. The storage capacity of the fuel tank is 18.50 gallons.
SC400 Base Statistics
The SC400 is 187.80 inches long, 70.10 inches wide, and 53.90 inches high. It has a wheelbase of 103.10 inches. It is able to seat 5 comfortably.
The standard warranty period for the SC400 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.
The original manufacturer suggested retail price (MSRP) was $31,200 when new, with a dealer invoice cost of an industry-average price. This price was in line with the industry average price for a 2-door Coupe.
Fuel Efficiency
The SC400 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.
The vehicle is available in several colors.
Conclusion
The 1994 model year was unsuccessful for the Lexus SC400. The introduction of several trim levels (along with the Base version) meant that buyers had several options to choose from..
