Introducing the first-ever fully electric Lexus, the RZ 450e. Where sustainability meets sleek lines and power, as only Lexus could imagine. This is the next chapter of electrified mobility.
The front cockpit’s design advances the human-centered philosophy of Lexus. Inspired by the tazuna reins favored by traditional Japanese equestrians, the steering wheel features switches that are precisely synced with the available Head-Up Display, creating a space where drivers can control various functions such as navigation, audio, and drive mode select while concentrating on driving.
The exterior design expresses the seamless acceleration and dynamic torque-filled performance specific to electric vehicles. The signature Lexus spindle grille is replaced by a Spindle Body which focuses on aerodynamic efficiencies, optimized proportions, and style—versus serving the cooling and exhaust needs of an internal combustion engine. This styling evolution ushers in a new Lexus aesthetic and establishes a new design direction for future electrified offerings.
Ambient interior illumination offers a rich experience while driving. The world's first Shadowy illumination changes the shade of light projected on to the door trim ornament when the doors are opened and closed, adding new flair to the interior space. In addition, the cabin of the RZ 450e features a panoramic roof which visually opens the space, while passenger comfort is improved by a highly efficient heating system featuring a Lexus-first radiant heater.
Under the Lexus Electrified vision, Lexus engineers pursue the creation of expressive in-cabin sounds that convey the exhilaration of driving. The RZ 450e establishes a dialogue between car and driver by matching sound frequencies to the vehicle’s speed and sound levels during dynamic actions such as acceleration. The tone and acoustic transmission characteristics of the drivetrain’s sounds were tuned to ensure its pleasantness.
The highly intuitive Lexus Interface connects you like never before. Among its available features, Intelligent Assistant* integration enables you to control most features with just your voice, and gets smarter over time. Cloud-based navigation* offers more accurate directions and can provide real-time route information. While Profiles allow different drivers to create personalized settings that can go from vehicle to vehicle.
