2023 Lexus RZ Review

Smooth, Efficient, and Practical Performance

Getting an EV means you’ll have a vehicle that is powered purely with the electric charge of a battery. The battery in the Lexus RZ, specifically, is mounted under the vehicle floor. This provides a lower center of gravity for enhanced stability and comfort as you drive.

With a single charge, it provides a manufacturer-projected range of 220 miles. Plus, with 312 total system horsepower, the RZ can get up to speed swiftly. The high-output axle is fully integrated with the motor, transaxle, and inverter, which helps provide a boost in range—and added room in the cabin as well.

The Lexus RZ 450e is equipped with Direct4 technology, which is an all-wheel drive system Lexus developed specifically for their electric vehicles. With it, you will notice improved acceleration when the light turns green, enhanced stability around turns and slippery roads, and lower power consumption.

First-Class Comfort In This Lexus EV

Being a Lexus, it comes as no surprise that the RZ is set to provide you with a truly relaxing and enjoyable driving experience. Its interior is full of premium features, including everything from the Shadow Illumination that projects light on the door trim, to the Ultrasuede-trimmed seats made with biomaterials. The 2023 Lexus RZ 450e also features a panorama glass roof, which gives you a more open feel while driving.

Plus, the cabin is centered around your convenience. As the driver, you will have switches right on the steering wheel that it easy to make quick adjustments to various in-cabin systems. With the available Head-Up Display, you can keep focus on the road ahead while also seeing your navigation, speed, and other important information.

Innovative Technology

Other forward-thinking aspects of the 2023 Lexus RZ 450e include the standard technology it features. This includes the Lexus Interface, which is the center of your controls and entertainment settings. It even includes Cloud Navigation with real-time route information, so you’ll know the best route to take and avoid slowdowns along the way.

You can even get the available Drive Connect subscription, which features Intelligent Assistant that allows you to control features using just your voice. There is also the added safety of Digital Latch with Safe Exit Assist. If you are parked along a busy street, this system will make sure there are no cyclists or vehicles traveling down the road when you open the door.
