Expresses the seamless acceleration and dynamic torque-filled performance specific to electric vehicles, the Lexus RZ comes with a new visual identity by adopting a ‘spindle body’ design. This styling evolution ushers in a new Lexus aesthetic and establishes a new design direction for future electrified offerings.
A vision of things to come, the RZ450e boasts an exterior that ushers in a new Lexus aesthetic and establishes a new design direction for future electrified offerings. The signature Lexus spindle grille is replaced by a Spindle Body which focuses on aerodynamic efficiencies, optimized proportions and style.
The design concept “Seamless E-Motion” expresses the seamless acceleration and dynamic torque unique to a BEV. Designers created a form that is instantly recognizable as a Lexus BEV by emphasizing a robust stance with a low center of gravity, a combination that expresses the excellent driving performance.
The rear features a simple, precise horizontal design matched to the hips to highlight the wide stance, and express the RZ’s torque-filled performance identity. The Lexus name logo is integrated into the horizontal rear combination lamps, the thinner red lens in the center of the light bar.
9 body color options are available the latest metallic texture paint—"Aether Metallic" and "Sonic Copper" offering a modern and futuristic feel.
Inspired by the tazuna reins favored by traditional Japanese equestrians, the philosophy of Omotenashi runs through the RZ’s cabin with the front cockpit’s design advances the human-centered philosophy of Lexus.
The front cockpit’s design advances the human-centered philosophy of Lexus. Inspired by the Tazuna reins favored by traditional Japanese equestrians, the steering wheel features switches that are precisely synced with the available Head-Up Display, creating a space where drivers can control various functions such as navigation, audio and Drive Mode Select while still concentrating on driving.
The RZ450e features a panorama roof that extends from above the front seats to above the rear seats, contributing to a feeling of wide-open space. Low-e (low-emissivity) glass provides heat shielding and thermal insulation helping to keep the cabin comfortable even in harsh environments such as direct sunlight.
A dimming function which instantly blocks light according to the passengers’ needs, eliminates the need for a sunshade.
The multi-color illumination around the instrument panel creates a spacious, immersive atmosphere even at night. 14 colors were carefully selected to express the changing emotions and feelings of witnessing beautiful natural phenomena. The Shadowy illumination illuminates the door trim ornamentation by producing varying shadows as the doors open and close, adding an original ‘afterglow’ in the interior space.
The Ultrasuede used for the seat upholstery is partially made from plant-derived raw materials. ‘Ultrasuede’, a high-quality suede-effect synthetic leather, offers outstanding durability as well as an excellent tactile feel.
Developed specifically for the RZ to deliver audio purity, power and precision, the 13-speaker system delivers high-end sound when playing all music genres.
As the first globally available dedicated battery electric vehicle from Lexus, the RZ marks the next step for the brand into a fully electrified future.
The RZ utilizes a dedicated battery electric platform to significantly evolve vehicle performance for an exhilarating drive. This Lexus-first platform offers high levels of stability and ride comfort by mounting the battery under the vehicle floor for a low center of gravity and moment of inertia.
Built atop a dedicated battery-electric platform that offers instantaneous power and a low center of gravity, for an incredibly exhilarating drive. Crafted to the exceptional standards of luxury, reliability and personalized care that continue to set Lexus apart.
DIRECT4’s drive force control uses information collected from wheel speed, acceleration, and steering angle sensors to help optimize the drive force distribution ratio of the front and rear wheels between 100:0 and 20:80 (front wheels: rear wheels), contributing to enhanced start-up acceleration and handling stability.
Lexus has combined electrification and vehicle motion control technologies that it has cultivated over the years to deliver a driving experience where the driver can have an intimate dialogue with the car.
The newly developed high-output electronic axle (eAxle) fully integrates the motor, transaxle and inverter within a compact unit to benefit cruise range without introducing components that compromise exterior or interior design. The front eAxle is packaged with a space-efficient layout, while the rear eAxle features a low-profile layout contributing to increased interior and cargo space.
The RZ features an electronically-controlled braking system that enables coordinated front and rear regeneration through independent front and rear hydraulic controls.
The RZ450e utilises a Lexus-first dedicated BEV platform (e-TNGA) to significantly evolve the fundamental performance of the vehicle and provide the exhilarating joy of driving. The platform offers high levels of stability and ride comfort by mounting the battery under the vehicle floor and features a low centre of gravity and moment of inertia.
Combining information from cameras and ultrasonic sensors that monitor the vehicle’s surroundings, Advanced Park supports appropriate recognition and parking in open parking spots. In addition to automatically controlling steering, accelerating, braking and shift changes, it provides smooth parking by continuously displaying a bird’s-eye view of blind spots and the target car park location.
