Lexus RZ
What To Expect
The Lexus RZ is the Japanese automaker’s first all-electric vehicle and was introduced in 2023. For the 2024 model year, the RZ arrived with a new RZ 300e trim, some extra range, minor interior design changes, and some extra driver-assist features. With the Lexus RZ receiving changes for 2024, we expect the upcoming 2025 Lexus RZ to be a carryover model.
The exterior design of the 2025 Lexus RZ isn’t expected to change for the new model year. The electric SUV should continue to have the same striking design as the current model that’s on sale. The RZ features sharp headlights, a modern version of Lexus’ spindle grille, and an angular front fascia. Prominent body lines, a blacked-out C-pillar, and aggressive rear fenders give the electric SUV a sporty look. At the back, the RZ features a large rear spoiler, a thin horizontal taillight, and a blacked-out rear bumper.
Lexus isn’t expected to make any changes to the RZ’s interior design for 2025. The RZ has a stylish interior design with a large central screen, a thin horizontal vent that’s positioned above the screen, sweeping door panels, and an instrument cluster that’s integrated into the same trim panel as the central screen. The expansive center console features touch-capacitive controls and a few large dials, while a rotary dial transmission shifter frees up storage space in the center console.
When it comes to tech features, the 2025 Lexus RZ should continue to come with a 14-inch touchscreen, wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, a Wi-Fi hot spot, a wireless charging pad, navigation, 10 audio speakers, five USB ports, Bluetooth, and satellite radio. Available features include a 13-speaker Mark Levinson audio system.
2025 Lexus RZ Engine & Specs
Since Lexus introduced a new powertrain for 2024, the 2025 Lexus RZ should continue to be available with the same engines as the current model that’s on sale. The base RZ 300e comes with a standard electric motor that powers the front wheels. It’s rated at 201 horsepower and 196 pound-feet of torque. The RZ 450e is available with dual electric motors for a combined output of 313 hp and 196 lb-ft of torque.
Lexus offers the RZ with two battery packs: a 71.4-kWh unit and a 72.8-kWh pack. The smaller battery pack is standard with the FWD model, while the larger pack is fitted to the AWD model. The RZ 330e offers up to 266 miles of range, while the RZ 450e has up to 220 miles of range.
2025 Lexus RZ Safety
Every 2025 Lexus RZ should come standard with the Lexus Safety System+ 3.0 suite of advanced safety features. The suite includes forward automatic emergency braking, forward collision warning, intersection assist, pedestrian detection, lane keeping assist, lane departure warning, blind spot monitoring, traffic sign recognition, rear cross-traffic alert, a surround-view parking camera, a surround-view parking camera, parking sensors, automatic high-beam assist, and adaptive cruise control, and lane centering assist.
2025 Lexus RZ Price
Lexus has not announced pricing for the 2025 RZ yet. Without any major changes, the 2025 RZ should remain close to the current model when it comes to pricing. The current RZ’s MSRP ranges from $55,150 to $65,580.
2025 Lexus RZ Release Date
Information on when the 2025 Lexus RZ will go on sale isn’t available yet. We could see the electric SUV as early as the end of 2024. More information on the electric SUV should become available within the next few months.
