The Lexus RZ is the latest in the all-new breed of Luxury SUVs coming from Lexus. The RZ is the brand's first all-electric vehicle and it's designed to impress. Most importantly, it is on sale today at Napleton's Lexus of Wayzata.
The Lexus RZ is a front- or all-wheel drive vehicle, powered by one or two electric motors. As the RZ 300e, it features a 201 horsepower, 196.4 lb-ft of torque, electric motor driving the front axle. On the AWD RZ 450e, that's one on each axle. The result is what Lexus calls Direct4. In tandem, these two motors deliver 308 horsepower with 196.4 lb-ft of torque at the front and 124 lb-ft at the rear for 320 lb-ft in total. That's quite punchy and offers plenty of grip from the four-wheel drive system especially in inclement weather.
The power on the RZ 450e is sent in varying degrees between the front and rear axles. These vary according to wheel slip and road conditions. While most of the work is done at the front wheels, the rear can grab up to 80 percent of the difference for maximum grip rounding a turn.
The EPA estimates you'll get up to 220 miles* on a single charge. That, of course, depends on how your Lexus RZ is equipped, how fast you drive and more. As they say in the real world, your mileage may vary.
Both are available with an optional Technology Package, adding the Lexus Advanced Park system, 10-inch Head-Up Display and Digital Key (with Remote Connect, by subscription).
An optional Cold Weather Package adds Headlamp Washers and Windshield wiper de-icer.
We're talking a two-box design here, but the reality is the RZ slots right between the compact Lexus NX and the midsize Lexus RX. There's no radiator to speak of but the front end still carries out the Lexus spindle grille concept, just without the openings.
Otherwise prep for a sleek, low slung SUV that offers luxury style and value in a desirable package.
The Lexus RZ relies on experience to bring you one of the most luxurious cabins in the automotive world. An available yoke-style steering wheel is here for thrill seekers looking for a more adventurous way to steer your RZ.
There's other futurism inside including high-riding seats, comfortable second row seating and a cargo area large enough for three large golf bags. Options include a panoramic moonroof that can dim itself, as well as a heating system that helps to prolong battery efficiency.
Design cues go even further starting with a 14-inch diagonal display touchscreen. It now includes many functions that required actual buttons in the past. There's also wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and a Qi wireless charger.
When it comes to the new Lexus RZ 300e and 450e warranty, Lexus has you covered. The RZ features a new car basic warranty of 4 years/50,000 miles. Powertrain coverage extends to 6 years/70,000 miles, while the battery warranty brings 8 years/100,000 miles of coverage.
The new Lexus RZ 300e and RZ 450e offer exceptionally reliable and economical transportation in an amazing-looking package. And the best part: It's on sale at Napleton's Lexus of Wayzata. Stop in to learn more, today!
