Meet the RZ 450e: First Ever Electric Car From Lexus!
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
The 2023 Lexus RZ is about the quality of life you will live in this car. How the steering wheel feels in your hands. How the seats cradle your frame. How the upholstery feels against your skin. The sunroof floods the cabin with a graceful light. Technology that jumps to attention just by asking.
Your overall opinions of a car are comprised of the small details that define it. Such as wireless Apple CarPlay that instantly recognizes your phone. The driver’s seat that resets to your preferred position when you get into the car. A wide, comfortable rear seat with air vents and USB ports so your companions can relax. A quiet ride that leaves you feeling relaxed and unfazed by whatever else is going on outside the car.
When a car does these things like a thoughtful partner, then adds mindful touches and exquisite details, it leaves you feeling enamored and anticipating each moment with it.
Then, add unprecedented details like suede seating, cream accents, and acceleration that sweeps you away in an electric tingle, and you’re left feeling a bit stirred.
The RZ comes in two trims and has two wheel options. It does not (yet) qualify for any federal tax incentives and the steer by wire option is not yet available. Here’s how the pricing breaks down:
- Lexus RZ Premium AWD, with 18” wheels, panoramic sunroof, smart key, leatherette seating, white ambient lighting, heated and vented front seats, heated steering wheel, Lexus Safety System 3.0, wireless phone charging and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, about $58,500
-Add 20” wheels, $1,240
-Lexus RZ Luxury AWD, with 20” wheels, acoustic glass, digital phone-as-key, microsuede seats, multi-color ambient lighting, radiant front seat heat panels, rear heated seats, head-up display, Mark Levinson premium sound, and advanced self-parking technology, about $64,000

Range will improve with age and use?? I do know EV range for the trip is impacted by how conservative or aggressive you drive, but overall avg max range doesn’t change too much overall with long term usage.
Very useful information about these cool features, Thank you
Great information!!! Your awesome. Thank you !!!
Level 2 chargers operate at 240 Volts, not 240 KW/h. It's a misconception to believe that a Level 2 charger, typically used at home, can replenish a battery from 10% to 80% in half an hour. This rapid charging capability is a feature of the Level 3 DC fast charger, which boasts an output of 240KW/H. However, it's crucial to note that the Lexus RZ 450e's maximum fast charging power is capped at 150 kW. The vehicle is equipped with a 71KW battery, offering a maximum range of 198 miles under moderate climate conditions. Range anxiety is a legitimate concern for electric vehicle (EV) owners, and the absence of a heat pump to warm the cabin in cold weather can significantly reduce this range to approximately 150 miles under real-world driving conditions. Moreover, the Lexus RZ 450e's charging speed is slower than most EVs on the market, with the exception of the Toyota BZ4x and Subaru Soltera, which utilize the same outdated battery chemistry. Misinformation about EVs can lead to confusion, especially for those unfamiliar with the technology. Your impressions appear to be based on incorrect information. It's essential to understand the differences in charging speeds among Level 1 (120 Volt outlet), Level 2 (240 Volt, akin to a home dryer plug), Level 3 (super charging), and Level 4 (super charging) chargers. Even if you connect to a 240 Volt Supercharger, the vehicle's maximum draw of 150 Kw/h under ideal weather conditions means that the vehicle is limiting the charge. For a high-end vehicle like this, such limitations could lead to dissatisfaction, especially for first-time EV owners. I've only watched two minutes of this video, and I find it not worth continuing due to the propagation of incorrect information. It's crucial to thoroughly understand a subject before creating content about it.
It would be nice to have a locking compartment for valuables, personal documents, etc...Things you don't want to share with valets or car wash guys. Hopefully car makers will consider this for future cars.
How in the same breath you can say "it's made from sustainable materials" and then "this isn't wood, it's plastic" is beyond me.
Nu Luxe is half the weight of leather. Icons under the four arrows swap the four arrow menu. So, dual menus on each side. Center storage from the 3rd Gen RX returns.
Is this the the 20” wheels? I heard the 20” wheels also drops the range an additional 25 miles?
This lady explained everything in detail she is professional only one thing she didn't open the hood show what's under the hood
Have you not heard of the Lexus ux electric car?

Cool, I’ve ordered aether blue and have the Takumi too and leasing on a 2 year deal too (was a little bit more than a Qashqai!), I’m waiting on a delivery date from the dealer, would be good to keep in contact with you to share experience with you if that would be ok? Also what charger are you getting fitted at home?

Nice. But that price…ouch!
I thought Lexus UX300e was the first electric car from Lexus ?

Yes that is correct, but the RZ 450e is the first all electric car only whereas the UX had a choice of hybrid also I believe
This is a nice luxury car surrounding a mediocre EV and therefore overpriced. To be a luxury car it needs a bigger battery and faster charging. This car if for loyal Lexus customers who do not cross shop. If you are just driving around town and only charging at home this would be nice. I mean, if you have plenty of money of course.
Why does the screen keep flashing it distracting

Most luxury EVs still has crappy range. My 2022 Etron has 240 mile range (and more like 200 miles real driving).
i have the 450NX. Lexus can do better on this car.
I actually like real leather and real wood better.Fake leather and fake wood just don't work for me.
Poor range, high price. No,thank you.
Sorry this is junk. The range is junk
Compare with Tesla Autopilot this is a piece of crap.
Nice review malady a example 2 follow by thousands of so called auto journalist.
