2025 Lexus RZ Debuts with Larger 76.96kWh Battery and Interactive Manual Drive System

The new Lexus RZ lineup gets a substantial performance boost thanks to a larger 76.96kWh battery. The RZ boasts a maximum range of up to 575 kilometres

<p>Although it hasn't been on the market for long, the first Lexus electric vehicle (EV) is already receiving an update.

The carmaker announced the comeback of the RZ 450e along with the introduction of the brand-new&nbsp;RZ 300e FWD. The 300e is a new model that is reasonably priced and has the longest range in the RZ EV portfolio. For the uninitiated, the RZ is a compact electrified SUV released this year and is based on the same platform as the Subaru Solterra and the Toyota bZ4X. The models receive several additional features, mechanical improvements, and design modifications. The 2024&nbsp;Lexus RZ&nbsp;comes in two variants: front-wheel drive (FWD) and all-wheel drive (AWD), with the former being a recent addition to the lineup. The new RZ&nbsp;series is priced starting at USD 55,150.</p>
