2023 Lexus RZ 450e Review

 What's New for the 2023 Lexus RZ 450e?

The 2023 Lexus RZ 450e is a new addition to the lineup, delivering the refinement that the brand is known for with premium styling and an all-electric powertrain. This compact EV crossover has two trim levels: the Premium and the Luxury. These trims have a few exterior differences, but both options are designed with an undeniably athletic, sharp look. From the front view, you will see a rounded nose with a bold swell through the hood. The sporty headlights feature an angled bolt of LED lighting running over the top of the large, diamond-shaped air vents. From the side view, the flat roof fades into a raked liftgate. The front and rear wheels are accompanied by black molding, and the molding at the front end spins off a tail that reaches toward the side mirrors. A deeper, lower accent angles over the doors, which pairs with an upper accent that takes a sharp turn over the rear fenders.

Both trims have the same dual-motor system that drives the rear and front wheels. The Premium trim level comes with 18-inch wheels and has a range of 220 miles. The 20-inch wheels on the Luxury trim support a 196-mile range.

Choose to drive the 2023 Lexus RZ 450e. Your crossover will be well-appointed with gear like a wireless charging pad, a hands-free liftgate, a household charger, a panoramic sunroof, a digital key, synthetic leather upholstery, a heated steering wheel with heated seats, a 14-inch central display screen, wireless connectivity for the smart device apps, remote monitoring and others. This trim also has standard safety tech, such as a traffic sign reader, a surround-view camera, forward collision mitigation, adaptive cruise control, and several additional technologies. The RZ 450e Luxury trim adds insulated windows, a Mark Levinson audio system with 13 speakers, synthetic suede upholstery, multi-color cabin lighting, a head-up display, heated rear seats, a traffic jam assist, and a head-up display. Options include a digital rear mirror and a DynamicSky sunroof.
