When you’re exploring buying an electric vehicle (EV), the range, or how far you can get on a single battery charge, is an important consideration. The greater the range, the less often you’ll have to stop to charge your vehicle and the more money you’ll save on charging costs.
Luckily, if you’re interested in the 2023 Lexus RZ 450e, this vehicle has plenty of range. Below, we’ll discuss what type of range you can expect from this new Lexus, along with some of the other benefits you’ll get from making this your next vehicle. It’s our hope that this guide will help you decide if it’s the right choice for you.
What is the Range of the 2023 Lexus RZ 450e?
The 2023 Lexus RZ 450e features a 65.6 kWh battery pack. With this battery, you can expect to get around 220 miles of driving range, provided you’re using the base 18-inch wheels. If you instead opt for the larger 20-inch wheels, the driving range drops a little to 196 miles. Either way, this is a good amount of range for an EV, and you likely won’t have to stop too often to recharge while you’re on the go. If you do, the 2023 Lexus RZ 450e comes with DC fast-charging capabilities, so you won’t have to wait too long to recharge the battery.
Other Features of the 2023 Lexus RZ 450e
Of course, there’s a lot more to the 2023 Lexus RZ 450e than just its great driving range. Some of its other features include:
Powerful Performance
The 2023 Lexus RZ 450e uses an all-electric powertrain, which Lexus calls Direct4. This is a dual-motor setup that delivers 308 horsepower. Not only that, but the 2023 Lexus RZ 450e comes standard with all-wheel drive, giving you better traction on slippery or rougher road surfaces. With this powertrain, you can expect snappy acceleration and smooth handling, regardless of whether you’re cruising down the highway or navigating tighter turns.
Comfortable Cabin
Inside the 2023 Lexus RZ 450e, you’ll be treated to the comfort and sophistication you’ve come to expect from a Lexus vehicle. You’ll immediately notice the more simplistic interior design, with many buttons and switches gone and replaced with the sleek infotainment display. The seats are all made of premium material, providing an enjoyable driving experience no matter how long you’re inside.
Most surfaces inside the 2023 Lexus RZ 450e are either wrapped with faux suede or synthetic leather, which adds to the luxury feel of the vehicle. Finally, even though this is a small crossover SUV, you’ll still find plenty of space inside for the driver, passengers, and even cargo. There are 26 cubic feet of cargo space in the rear, which should be plenty for your weekend errands or your next road trip.
Hi-Tech Entertainment
To make your driving experience even more enjoyable, the 2023 Lexus RZ 450e comes with plenty of hi-tech entertainment features. It all starts with the previously mentioned infotainment system, which is a large 14-inch touch-screen display. You can interact with this system either by touching the screen or by using voice commands. It’s easy to control your vehicle’s media through this infotainment system, especially if you make use of the standard Apple CarPlay or Android Auto integrations.
Standard Safety Features
The 2023 Lexus RZ 450e comes with some of the latest and most innovative safety features, all as standard inclusions. For example, you’ll get automated emergency braking, lane departure warning, and adaptive cruise control, all without paying extra. If you do want some additional features, though, there are options such as automated parking assist that you can add on. Finally, to help you keep your eyes on the road, there’s a head-up display that projects vital information directly onto the windshield.
Comprehensive Warranty
Finally, one of the best things about the 2023 Lexus RZ 450e is the comprehensive warranty. Lexus provides both a limited warranty and a powertrain warranty, which helps to protect your vehicle against some of the largest potential repair expenses for the first few years. The limited warranty covers four years or 50,000 miles (whichever comes first), while the powertrain warranty covers six years and 70,000 miles.
There’s also a warranty for the hybrid components that lasts for eight years or 100,000 miles, along with a year of complimentary maintenance. With all these protections, you should have some peace of mind while you’re driving your new Lexus.
