Lexus has momentously unveiled the new generation of its exclusive battery electric vehicle (BEV), the new RZ, in Brussels, Belgium. This pioneering model, to be rolled out in phases starting this fall 2025, showcases Lexus’ drive for innovation, performance, and sustainability. Equipped with a completely reengineered BEV system, innovative technologies, and a wider range, the new RZ will revolutionize the luxury EV category.

Improved Performance and Efficiency

The all-new Lexus RZ boasts an enhanced battery system that provides a 20% driving range increase and lowers charging time. It also offers a high-output motor version, the RZ 550e F SPORT, with a maximum system output of 300 kW (407.8 PS) and 0-100 km/h acceleration in 4.4 seconds. Other versions are the RZ 500e producing 280 kW (380.6 PS) and the RZ 350e producing 165 kW (224.3 PS).

Torque ratings add to the performance: the front motor of the RZ 550e F SPORT produces 167 kW (227 PS) and 268.6 Nm, with the rear motor adding another 167 kW (227 PS) and 268.6 Nm for a dynamic and spirited driving experience.

Cutting-Edge Steer-by-Wire System

Lexus debuts its first-ever Steer-by-Wire System, a state-of-the-art technology that provides better vehicle control and responsiveness. The system provides accurate steering input with no mechanical linkage, enhancing low-speed maneuverability and providing more stability when driving on twisty roads.

The innovative Interactive Manual Drive system mimics the feel of a conventional manual transmission, matching acceleration and deceleration with rich sound feedback. This technology delivers a thrilling, hands-on driving experience, combining electrification with Lexus’ hallmark driving pleasure.

Aerodynamic Excellence and Exclusive Design

Lexus has designed the body of the RZ with great care for both its looks and its performance. The F SPORT version comes with a unique aerodynamic style, complete with front and rear spoilers and highly precise wheels for improved stability. The interior includes an F SPORT steering wheel, aluminum pedals, and high-grade sports seats that establish an upscale yet athletic atmosphere.

Technical Specifications

Lexus ensures the RZ remains in a top position among electric mobility offerings through the availability of various specifications aligned with drivers’ differing needs:

Model	Power (PS)	Torque (Nm)	0-100 km/h (sec)	Range (km)
