Design & Presence

The Lexus RZ dresses Lexus's familiar spindle cues into a smoother, more EV‑friendly silhouette that reads upscale without shouting. At 4,905 mm long and 1,895 mm wide the RZ has full‑size SUV presence but remains manageable in town, while a top speed limited to 160 km/h keeps the focus on efficiency rather than outright pace. Clean surfaces, short overhangs and upright greenhouse give the RZ a modern, distinctive look that fits the premium electric crossover class.

Interior & Usability

Step inside and the RZ prioritises calm and craftsmanship: soft‑touch materials, precise seams and a logically arranged dash create a serene cabin atmosphere. The layout is uncluttered with clear displays and tactile controls in key areas, and seating for five is comfortable on long runs thanks to well‑shaped cushions and good adjustment range. An available steer‑by‑wire system and the hushed electric drivetrain enhance the sense of refinement, even if some rivals push a more futuristic cockpit design.

Space & Everyday Practicality

Practicality is solid rather than class‑leading: the boot swallows 522 litres with the rear seats up and expands to a maximum of 1,515 litres when folded, enough for weekend luggage or larger DIY trips. With five seats and generous rear legroom the RZ accommodates adults in daily use, though curb weights of about 1,955–2,055 kg mean a slightly reduced payload compared with lighter competitors. A flat floor and relatively low load bay make everyday loading straightforward, but those hauling very bulky items should still check dimensional fit before buying.

Driving & Handling

The RZ comes as a 204 hp front‑wheel‑drive model doing 0–100 km/h in about 8.0 s or a 313 hp all‑wheel‑drive version that completes the sprint in around 5.3 s, with torque figures near 266 and 432 Nm respectively. On the road it biases comfort and composure: suspension soaks up bumps while the battery‑mounted low centre of gravity keeps body roll under control, although the near‑two‑tonne mass blunts razor‑sharp responses. Steering is accurate and the optional steer‑by‑wire setup sharpens the feel, but drivers after the most athletic behaviour may prefer lighter, sportier rivals.

Efficiency/Consumption & Range

Energy use varies by drivetrain: the 204 hp FWD averages about 14.9 kWh/100 km for an official range close to 429 km, while the 313 hp AWD version consumes roughly 18.2 kWh/100 km and lists around 404 km of range. In everyday terms the FWD car stretches further between charges and suits longer commutes, whereas the AWD trade‑off delivers brisker acceleration at the cost of higher consumption. Real‑world range will depend on temperature, driving style and accessory use, so expect fewer kilometres in cold weather or sustained high‑speed driving.

Assistance & Infotainment

Driver aids are comprehensive, bundling adaptive cruise, lane‑centering features and emergency interventions that make motorway miles less tiring and city life safer. The infotainment offers crisp screens and smartphone integration, but the software can feel less responsive than top rival systems and the heavy reliance on touch controls may frustrate those who prefer physical dials. Optional premium audio and advanced HUD choices bolster the luxury feel and keep the cabin tech aligned with Lexus’s calm, high‑quality focus.

Who is it for?

The Lexus RZ suits buyers who prioritise a quiet, well‑crafted cabin and comfortable, composed driving over outright sportiness, with versions spanning the efficient RZ 300e front‑wheel‑drive (204 HP, ~429 km) to the quicker RZ 450e all‑wheel‑drive (313 HP, ~404 km). Families and commuters who value interior quality, technology and usable luggage space will find the RZ appealing, while those needing the sharpest handling or maximum payload might look elsewhere. Overall the RZ is a strong contender for premium EV buyers seeking Lexus refinement in a midsize SUV package.
