This is the entry-level version below the RZ 450e, so Lexus does not equip it with all-wheel drive, instead opting for a single electric motor located at the front axle. This motor generates 201 horsepower and a maximum torque of 266 Nm.
This powertrain is supported by a 71.4 kWh battery pack, allowing the car to achieve a maximum range of 599 km according to the WLTC standard. However, this range may only apply to Lexus RZ 300e models equipped with 18-inch wheels. If the wheel size is increased to 20 inches, the maximum range will decrease significantly.
In addition to the new powertrain, the crossover is also equipped with an enhanced suspension system. The springs, stabilizers, and shocks have been optimized to ensure a comfortable ride for occupants. The 300e version is 100 kg lighter than the 450e version.
In Japan, the Lexus RZ 300e will have a starting price of 8,200,000 Yen (equivalent to 1.3 billion VND). This price is 600,000 Yen (~ 95 million VND) cheaper than the RZ 450e.
In other news, Lexus has announced that both versions of the RZ will be equipped with a fast-charging battery heating system. This system is designed to accelerate the charging process when the outside temperature is cold, improving battery efficiency.
Lexus has also revealed plans to introduce the RZ in 9 new countries and regions, including Central and South America. This initiative, along with the introduction of the standard RZ 300e, will assist Lexus in its transition to becoming a BEV-focused brand (Battery Electric Vehicles).
The Lexus RZ is the first electric vehicle from the Japanese luxury brand, launched in April 2022 with the RZ 450e version. This electric crossover model is based on Toyota’s e-TNGA platform and shares similarities with the Toyota bZ4x and Subaru Solterra. In the US, the RZ 450e starts at $59,650 (~ 1.4 billion VND).
