The overview
The RZ 450e is the first Lexus battery-electric vehicle. It shares its platform and components with the Toyota bZ4X, but has more horsepower and typical Lexus interior touches. Sized almost like the Lexus RX, it comes only with all-wheel drive. The 71.4 kWh battery can deliver up to 220 miles, if equipped with the standard 18-inch tires, and 196 miles with the optional 20-inch tires. Either way, that's notably shorter than many rivals--even less expensive ones. A 6.6 kW on-board charger is also skimpy and results in home charging that's on the slower side. At least a 150 kW maximum acceptance rate at public DC-fast charging places is competitive. Ride and handling are pleasant, and the cabin is roomy, but the lack of a glovebox is a glaring omission. The Lexus Safety System+ 3.0 suite is standard, packing the latest active safety features including driver attention monitoring. Lexus made relatively significant changes to the RZ for 2026 to increase range, power, and charging speeds.

Behind the data
Latest source update: September 11, 2026
Vehicle summaries, specifications, pricing and ratings come from Consumer Reports vehicle records. Auto Guide groups these records by model and reported generation start year.
Available years are listed explicitly. Gaps do not imply that a model was discontinued. Prices are source estimates, not live offers. No first-hand road test by Auto Guide is claimed.
