To aid you in your shopping experience, we asked our EV experts to review the Lexus RZ and explain why the Lexus RZ is an irresistible choice.

2024 Lexus RZ Range, Charge Time, and Performance

Lexus engineered its RZ 300e to take you beyond your everyday commute with an all-electric driving range of up to 266 miles. For drivers looking for more spirited experiences behind the wheel, the RZ 450e models deliver a dual electric motor powertrain and sport-inspired 20-inch wheels. RZ 450e models get an estimated 196 miles of driving range.

Lexus built its RZ models on a dedicated battery-electric platform that boldly moves into the future of EV technology and delivers instant power combined with a low center of gravity for an incredibly exhilarating experience. And you get the unmatched standard of luxury, reliability, and support you expect from Lexus ownership.

Opting for the RZ 450e, you get the Lexus DIRECT4 all-wheel-drive system, which produces a quick and linear response to driver input. A drive-force distribution control system monitors vehicle speed, acceleration, and steering angles to adjust and distribute the front-to-rear drive-force ratio. As a result, you have enhanced start-up acceleration and better handling stability with low power consumption.

You can recharge your RZ using a Level 1 cord that plugs into a regular household outlet or at one of over 50,000 Level 2 or DC fast-charging public charging ports. Installing a 220-volt charging station at home will recharge your RZ while you sleep. On the road, you can take advantage of the RZ’s fast charging capability that adds three miles of range per minute of charge time.

The Lexus RZ 300e has a single electric motor that powers the front wheels. This configuration produces 201 horsepower and 196 lb-ft of torque. Upgrading to the RZ 450e gets you a larger battery and a dual-motor setup for all-wheel drive. This powertrain produces a combined 308 horsepower and 320 lb-ft of torque for a more thrilling driving experience.

2024 Lexus RZ Design

Visionary Lexus engineers incorporated a spindle body design, taking innovation to the next level in EV character. This signature design element focuses on aerodynamics to maximize efficiencies and optimize performance and style.

Slipping inside the RZ cabin, you find more design enhancements that capitalize on the Lexus human-centered philosophy. Traditional Japanese equestrians use tazuna reins while riding, inspiring Lexus to create a steering wheel that features switches precisely tuned with the available heads-up display to create a cockpit where drivers have complete control over various functions, including navigation, audio, and drive modes without compromising driving concentration.

More subtle, but no less enjoyable, are design elements like a panorama roof that seamlessly provides the natural light of a conventional moonroof in larger proportions, improving the cabin experience for all. In addition, Lexus adds its Dynamic Sky technology to the all-glass roof, which can switch from opaque to transparent and back again with the touch of a button.

2024 Lexus RZ Technology

Thanks to the Lexus Interface, your driving experience in the Lexus RZ will be second to none. Acting as an extension of you, it lets you personalize your multimedia experience with seamless hands-free audio, navigation, phone connectivity, and more functionality. 

Innovations like the Lexus full-color heads-up display and digital rearview mirror provide critical driving data and views that improve safety and performance. Other technology features include the Advanced Park with Remote Park system that steers you into and out of parallel and perpendicular parking spaces.

Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto let you sync your smartphone and enjoy your favorite apps on the go. Plus, you can send texts, make calls, stream your favorite playlists, get navigation information, and more using simple, intuitive voice commands.

2024 Lexus RZ Driver Assistance

The Lexus RZ has the cutting-edge tech you crave. Every RZ comes with Lexus Safety System+ 3.0, a suite of driver-assist technologies designed to elevate your drive and keep you safe. The suite includes a Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection and Intersection Support. This system uses radar and optical sensors to detect potential front-end collisions and possible collisions with oncoming and turning vehicles crossing your path. In some situations, the system provides steering input and brake support to help mitigate or avoid an accident.

An All-Speed Dynamic Radar Cruise Control with Curve Speed Management system enhances regular cruise control by adjusting speed automatically based on the traffic flow. Lane Tracing Assist works with this system, providing gentle steering correction to keep you centered in your lane and even helping you steer through curves.

You also get Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist, which monitors your Lexus RZ when traveling within marked lanes. When the system detects an unintentional drift, it alerts you with visual and audio cues. If you react slowly, the system provides subtle steering correction to keep you within your marked lane.
