This is a Motormouth couple car review of the all-new all-electric Lexus RZ 450e crossover. The RZ, Subaru Solterra and the Toyota bZ4X all share the same platform but the RZ has a larger 150 kW front motor, 80 kW for the other two.
The Lexus RZ has a 71.4 kWh battery with up to 354 km/220 miles of EV range, 313 horsepower and Direct 4 AWD. With the larger 20” wheels, you get a little less range, 315 km/196 miles.
The Lexus RZ offers 7.9” of ground clearance and has a sporty exterior design with a floating roof and sharp looking headlights. It comes standard with LED headlamps, LED rear combination lamps, power folding exterior mirrors, roof rails, 18” wheels, available 20”.Standard features include, a 7” multi-information display, a 14” touchscreen, wireless Apple Carplay and Android Auto, a 10-speaker audio system, wireless charger, heated steering wheel, heated front seats, Nuluxe interior trim, 8-way power driver and passenger seats and Lexus Safety System + 3.0.
In the US, the base trim also comes standard with ventilated front seats, driver seat memory, a panoramic glass roof, power rear door with kick sensor and a panoramic view monitor.
Here’s the pricing for the Lexus RZ, 450e Signature $64,950 CAD, 450e Luxury $73,550 CAD
450e Executive $80,950 CAD. In the US, 450e Premium $59,650 USD and 450e Luxury $65,150 USD.
The Lexus RZ comes with a 6.6 kWh onboard charger which is weaker than many of its rivals and its DC Fast charging capability is limited to 150 kW connections.

Lexus and Toyota say the RZ and bZ4X will retain 90% of its charge after 10 years. Toyota says, 90% retention rate is world class. Lexus offers a warranty of 4 years or 80,000 km/50,000 miles.
