The new Lexus RZ will come in two models the RZ 500e and the RZ 550 e F Sport.

With a number of key highlights including a fully redesigned BEV system that:

• Has increased motor output.
• Extended driving range and
• Reduced charging time

All crucial factors in the increasingly competitive EV world.

A newly developed lithium-ion battery now has battery capacity of 76.96kWh. The RZ now has a claimed range of  500km’s which is about 14% more than before.  And charging time reduced by up 30 minutes depending on circumstances. The latter also thanks to an optimised onboard charger.

One interesting addition is the Lexus Steer-by-Wire system. Lexus claims it will revolutionize the cockpit experience, creating a seamless connection between the driver and the vehicle.

The system allows for precise steering control through approximately 200 degrees of rotation, eliminating the need for large steering inputs, leading to smoother and more effortless driving.

The manufacturers claim that the RZ models have a 0-100 km/h time of under 5.0 seconds, so they firmly aim them at sporty driving. They will announce the pricing closer to the release date.
