Lexus RZ 450e Range, Design, and Performance

The EPA has released estimates for the all-electric driving range of the new RZ 450e SUV. The first two trims of the Lexus RZ 450e, fitted with 18-inch wheels, earn an EPA-estimated 220 miles of electric driving range,¹ while the RZ 450e Luxury AWD trim, which comes equipped with 20-inch wheels, is rated for up to 196 miles by the EPA.²

Every new Lexus RZ 450e utilizes a 71.4-kWh battery, all-wheel drive, and an electric powertrain with 308 horsepower to deliver enticing performance backed by an impressive driving range. This Lexus electric vehicle can sprint from zero to 60 mph in a manufacturer-tested five seconds.

Lexus engineers have developed a highly athletic electric vehicle with the help of innovations like their new high-output electronic axle (eAxle) and DIRECT4 all-wheel-drive system. The eAxle design integrates the transaxle and electric motor within one compact unit to enhance the vehicle's driving range, interior space, and overall design. The eAxle's low profile at the rear enables greater cargo capacity and increased rear passenger space.

DIRECT4 is an AWD technology developed for Lexus electrified vehicles. It is more advanced than traditional AWD systems and utilizes sensors to instantly direct the drivetrain's torque to the proper wheels for any driving situation.
