The future of driving is here, and it’s electric! Lexus is leading the charge (no pun intended) with their brand-new 2024 RZ. Lexus’ first all-electric vehicle brings all the comfort and luxury you expect from Lexus to the world of emissions-free driving.
We’re thrilled about this new chapter in the automotive industry. Before we dive into the details of this incredible vehicle, we encourage you to explore our dedicated Electric Vehicles hub to learn more about whether an EV is right for you.
Ready to learn more about the RZ? This guide will dive into what makes this car special, from impressive specs to cutting-edge tech features. Let’s get rolling.
Lexus designed the RZ interior to be driver-focused, with an intuitive cockpit layout centered around the unique dial-type shift knob. You can even customize expressive sounds to match your driving style in case you miss the roar of a gas engine. Paddle shifters mounted on the steering wheel allow you to adjust the regenerative braking.
The available Tsuyasumi interior trim uses layered materials for a warm, welcoming environment. You’ll stay comfortable in the available heated and ventilated Ultrasuede front seats. And the available Dynamic Sky panorama glass roof transforms from transparent to opaque at the push of a button.
The RZ features Lexus’ signature spindle grille design on an aerodynamic SUV body. It looks amazing on its 20-inch split 10-spoke alloy wheels, which have a Dark Premium Metallic finish that really pops.
You also have plenty of options when it comes to color, from sleek single colors or eye-catching two-tone combos. The illuminated front badge makes a bold style statement, as do the iconic LED blade taillamps.
Electric cars and high-tech features go together like peanut butter and jelly. The Lexus Interface pairs with a 14-inch touchscreen display for intuitive navigation control, entertainment, vehicle settings, and more. The Panoramic View Monitor also displays here, giving you a bird’s-eye view of your surroundings.
There’s no need for wires with available wireless charging and wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto connectivity. But the real star of the show is the Mark Levinson sound system. It has 13 speakers, 12 channels, and 1,800 watts of pure audio bliss. It even has Clari-Fi processing to make your music sound better than ever.
In addition to the expected airbags and advanced chassis design, the RZ features the latest Lexus Safety System+ 3.0. For instance, Digital Latch with Safe Exit Assist comes in and warns you about cars and bikes coming from behind so you can exit safely.
There’s also All-Speed Dynamic Radar Cruise Control with Curve Speed Management. Finally, Advanced Park with Remote Park can park the car for you with the computer controlling steering, braking, and vision.
The 2024 Lexus RZ is available in two well-equipped trim levels: Premium and Luxury. You can pair either trim with the 300e or 450e powertrain option. The only difference there is the battery size and horsepower.
But when it comes to features, it’s all about Premium versus Luxury. Let’s break it down for you.
Premium Trim |
Luxury Trim |
---|---|
The Premium may be the lower trim, but it still pampers drivers with features worthy of a luxury flagship. SmartAccess entry lets you in, and a Memory System recalls your perfect driving position, meaning the seats, steering wheel, and mirror positions are automatically adjusted.
Once settled into the heated and ventilated NuLuxe seats, a heated leather steering wheel warms your hands as you drive. And when the sun is shining, open the panorama glass roof to let the light flood in. Tech-wise, you get the Lexus Interface with that massive 14-inch touchscreen, which connects to the Panoramic View Monitor. Don’t worry; there’s also a backup camera washer. It comes with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. You also get Drive Connect with Cloud Navigation, Intelligent Assistant, and Destination Assist, acting as an always-on co-pilot. Many of the car’s functions can be controlled through the Lexus app. Five USB-C ports charge devices for all passengers. |
Here, we have the epitome of luxury. The RZ Luxury trim builds on the Premium with even more upscale amenities. On the exterior, larger 20-inch alloy wheels make a bold style statement. Acoustic glass provides a quieter, more refined ride. For this Luxury trim, you can use the digital key to enter the vehicle.
Inside, a colorful 10-inch head-up display projects need-to-know driving details right on the windshield. The Mark Levinson audio system makes its appearance here, as well. Listen to your favorite tunes while thematic ambient illumination with door trim shadow illumination sets the perfect mood. Comfort goes through the roof with front radiant heaters and heated rear outboard seats. The Ultrasuede-trimmed seats are so comfy you might not want to get out. Finally, is safety. First. the advanced parking assist is here to help park for you. The trim also adds Lane Change Assist and Front Cross-Traffic Alert and Traffic Jam Assist. |
