Lexus Extended Test Drive Program Test drive an all-new fully electric Lexus for up to 48 hours.

Lexus offers three types of electrified vehicles: hybrid, plug-in hybrid, and all-electric (referred to as Battery Electric, Battery EVs, BEVs, or simply EVs).

All-electric vehicles can offer drivers convenience, potential savings, and can help the environment by reducing CO2 emissions. They’re also fun to drive, courtesy of the immediate torque response from the electric motors, DIRECT4 all-wheel drive technology, as well as the smooth acceleration and quiet cabin.

All-electric vehicles can also be conveniently charged at home, overnight and on-demand, as well as at public charging stations when out and about. No more trips to the gas station required. In addition to fuel savings, drivers may also be able to enjoy a state tax credit, as well as the potential long-term maintenance savings typical of an all-electric powertrain.*

Of course, an all-electric Lexus is designed to provide owners even more. In addition to the driver-inspired craftsmanship, attention to detail and intuitive technology that have always set Lexus apart, every electrified Lexus is supported by an expansive dealer network that’s world-renowned for its unrivaled care and unparalleled expertise.

Thanks to the use of electric motors instead of internal combustion engines, all-electric vehicles provide smooth acceleration, immediate torque response and a surprisingly quiet ride experience.

The driving range of an all-electric vehicle will vary depending on how/where you drive, charging habits, accessory use, outside temperature and other factors. Battery capacity also decreases with time and use, which will reduce range.

Gradual acceleration, flat terrain, and even pre-conditioning the temperature of your Lexus while it’s plugged in can potentially have a positive effect on driving range. However, please note that all-electric driving range may decrease significantly depending on speed, outside temperature, accessory use, how/where you drive, charging habits and other factors. Battery capacity also decreases with time and use, which will reduce range.

The Extended Test Drive (ETD) program offers direct product experience to guests new to Lexus All-Electric Vehicles. It appeals to existing guests considering a transition to an All-Electric Vehicle and guests exploring Lexus for the first time. This program offers exposure to All-Electric Vehicle models for up to two (2) days to experience varied driving conditions, vehicle performance, and charging capabilities.

Any 2026 model All-Electric Vehicle enrolled in the Lexus Customer Convenience System (LCCS) program is eligible for use in the ETD program. At the present time, this includes all 2026 RZ models. The 2026 ES All-Electric Vehicle model will also be included once it becomes available.

Qualifying guests may participate in the ETD program for up to 48 hours, not to exceed 150 miles. Guests and their household members are limited to two (2) 48-hour ETDs within a 60-day period.

Qualifying guests include any current Lexus owner or prospect interested in purchasing or leasing a Lexus All-Electric vehicle who resides within the required number of miles of the Lexus dealership and has a valid driver’s license and proof of comprehensive automobile and collision insurance. Qualifying age and requirement specifics vary by Dealer. One (1) additional driver with a valid driver’s license and proof of comprehensive automobile and collision insurance may be identified on the Lexus Rental Agreement. Guests may be required to complete a credit application or pay a deposit to qualify to participate in an ETD.

There is no charge for guests to participate in the ETD program. Guests may be required to make a deposit, which will be returned upon timely return of the vehicle in the same condition. Guests are responsible for any toll fees, charging costs, tickets, fines, and other expenses incurred during the ETD. Please refer to the Lexus Rental Agreement for additional information.

Contact the Lexus dealership sales department to begin the qualification process and complete the Lexus Rental Agreement.

Prior to every ETD, a Lexus Specialist will provide instructions on how to operate the vehicle, use key features, and charge the vehicle. Contact information will be provided for any questions or concerns during the ETD. All guests who will be driving the vehicle during the ETD must attend the presentation.

The ETD provides guests the opportunity to experience the All-Electric Vehicle in a variety of settings and assess how the Lexus All-Electric Vehicle can meet their needs including performance in varied driving conditions, preferred features, and charging capabilities. Information highlighting the Lexus All-Electric Vehicle features will be provided for review during or after the ETD at guests’ convenience.

A Lexus Specialist will follow up after completion of the ETD to discuss the experience and answer any additional questions.

Guests must return the vehicle to the same Lexus dealership within 48 hours. The deposit will be returned to guests upon timely return of vehicle. The vehicle must be fully charged upon return, or the guest will be charged a fee. The vehicle’s condition must remain consistent with when it left the dealership.
