If you want to explore all-electric luxury, the 2026 Lexus RZ will easily capture your attention. Drivers love this electric SUV's serene driving dynamic, sharp styling, and meticulously crafted cabin. Two core entry-level trims are available: the RZ 350e Base and the RZ 450e Base. Let's compare what each version brings to the road.
Performance
Powertrain performance represents the main contrast between these two models. Powered by a single electric motor sending energy to the front wheels, the RZ 350e Base generates a satisfying 221 horsepower. It also offers an impressive EPA-estimated range of up to 301 miles per charge.
A dual-motor configuration equips the RZ 450e Base with 308 horsepower, providing brisk acceleration whenever you step on the pedal. Standard DIRECT4 All-Wheel Drive further elevates performance in adverse weather. Lexus estimates the RZ 450e Base can travel up to 264 miles on a full battery charge.
Appearance
The RZ 350e Base and RZ 450e Base feature nearly identical styling, showcasing Lexus's signature aerodynamic Spindle Body profile. Up front, narrow Bi-LED headlights with daytime running lights lend a striking look, paired with a full-width LED taillight bar and dual-fin spoiler in the rear. Elegant 18-inch alloy wheels come standard, and both trims offer matching paint finishes like Oxygen White and Copper Crest.
Features
Whether you opt for the RZ 350e Base or the RZ 450e Base, you will receive an extensive set of standard tech and comfort features. Premium NuLuxe synthetic leather surfaces refine the cabin, while Lexus Safety System+ 3.0 provides peace of mind via advanced safety technologies. Anchored by a 14.0-inch touchscreen display with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, the Lexus Interface system connects seamlessly to your phone. Other standard features include a 10-speaker audio system, heated front seats, and a Wi-Fi hotspot.
