This is a Motormouth couple car review of the all-new all-electric Lexus RZ 450e crossover. The RZ, Subaru Solterra and the Toyota bZ4X all share the same platform but the RZ has a larger 150 kW front motor, 80 kW for the other two.
The Lexus RZ has a 71.4 kWh battery with up to 354 km/220 miles of EV range, 313 horsepower and Direct 4 AWD. With the larger 20” wheels, you get a little less range, 315 km/196 miles.
The Lexus RZ offers 7.9” of ground clearance and has a sporty exterior design with a floating roof and sharp looking headlights. It comes standard with LED headlamps, LED rear combination lamps, power folding exterior mirrors, roof rails, 18” wheels, available 20”.Standard features include, a 7” multi-information display, a 14” touchscreen, wireless Apple Carplay and Android Auto, a 10-speaker audio system, wireless charger, heated steering wheel, heated front seats, Nuluxe interior trim, 8-way power driver and passenger seats and Lexus Safety System + 3.0.
In the US, the base trim also comes standard with ventilated front seats, driver seat memory, a panoramic glass roof, power rear door with kick sensor and a panoramic view monitor.
Here’s the pricing for the Lexus RZ, 450e Signature $64,950 CAD, 450e Luxury $73,550 CAD
450e Executive $80,950 CAD. In the US, 450e Premium $59,650 USD and 450e Luxury $65,150 USD.

Lexus and Toyota say the RZ and bZ4X will retain 90% of its charge after 10 years. Toyota says, 90% retention rate is world class. Lexus offers a warranty of 4 years or 80,000 km/50,000 miles.
