New Lexus RZ450e 2023
As Lexus’ first global BEV model, the all-new RZ marks Lexus’ transition into a BEV-centered brand, and it embodies the unique Lexus vehicle design and driving experience made available through advanced, electrified technology.
An all-electric SUV with an estimated 225-mile range and a battery. The company’s first-ever electric vehicle (EV) will also come with Direct4.

On the inside of the vehicle is a sleek interior with a 14-inch touchscreen and a panoramic sunroof that extends from the front seats to the back. As for a steering yoke, that’s optional.
