Lexus RZ 450e
Segment: Midsize Premium Crossover
Powertrain(s):
Electric
2022
NEXT STAGE: New in 2022
The RZ electric vehicle is powered by a dual-motor powertrain that pairs two new e-axles developed by Toyota Group supplier Aisin Corp. — a 150-kilowatt motor in the front and an 80-kilowatt counterpart in the back, resulting in output of 230 kilowatts, or 308 hp. The EV counterpart to the venerable Lexus RX crossover rides on the same e-TNGA dedicated EV platform as the Toyota brand's bZ4X utility vehicle. In the RZ, an all-wheel Direct4 drivetrain is the only layout offered. The 2023 RZ 450e goes on sale in October 2022, starting in China and Europe, and then rolls into the U.S. and Japan.
