Are you in the market for a luxury electric vehicle (EV) that will make you the center of attention wherever you go? Then you may have questions about Lexus’ latest addition to its all-electric family. Available soon at Lexus of Stevens Creek, the 2024 Lexus RZ EV is a much-anticipated model revolutionizing what it means to drive a fully electric SUV.
From its stunning good looks to its abundance of amenities, the RZ EV won’t fail to impress. Let’s explore the details of what you can expect when you choose the 2024 Lexus RZ EV as your next set of wheels.
Exterior Styling
Bold and elegant, the latest addition to the Lexus lineup has eye-catching good looks that make it stand out in a crowd. You can choose from the RZ Premium and RZ Luxury models in one of seven exterior paint colors. Your options are Eminent White Pearl, Iridium, Ether, Cloudburst Gray, Caviar, Ether and Black Onyx, and Cloudburst Gray and Black Onyx. Each color pattern uses a gradient that gives motion to the vehicle even when it’s parked.
For the RZ Premium, you can get 18-inch five-spoke alloy wheels with Dark Gray Metallic and machined finish or 20-inch split-10-spoke alloy wheels with black and machined finish. The RZ Luxury comes standard with the same 20-inch wheels as the Premium in addition to 20-inch wheels with a Dark Premium Metallic finish.
Both models feature a convenient power rear door with a kick sensor for easy loading and unloading. The panorama glass roof gives an open feel to the cabin, or you can opt for the Dynamic Sky panorama roof that goes from clear to opaque at the touch of a button.
Range, Charge Rate, and Power
Like with fuel economy for a gas-powered vehicle, driving range is a factor that plays into deciding which electric vehicle is right for your lifestyle. The Lexus RZ estimated range is comfortable at 220 miles in the Premium trim and 196 miles if you go with the Luxury version. Keep in mind that many factors can affect driving ranges for EVs. But you can rest easy knowing that Lexus is currently offering up to 30 days of complimentary car rentals over three years if you go on longer trips where charging stations may be sparse.
You can find thousands of public charging stations around the country, with more being added regularly, that make it easy to recharge your battery. Charging your Lexus RZ EV at home is probably the most convenient option, and you can plug your car into any household 120-volt plug. For a faster charge, consider installing a Level 2 charger. This requires an electrician to put in a 240-volt plug. Some public charging stations have DC fast charging capabilities that can add three miles of charge per minute under ideal conditions.
An AC synchronous electric motor combines with a lithium-ion battery to deliver up to 308 horsepower and 196.4 lb-ft of torque. This power can take you from zero to 60 mph in as little as five seconds. All-wheel drive is standard in every Lexus RZ EV. The advanced drive system uses your input to provide improved handling and lower power consumption to save on battery use.
Interior Comfort and Amenities
The high-quality standard that Lexus has for comfort and luxury is evident in the details of the 2024 RZ EV cabin. Dual-zone climate control ensures you and your passengers stay cool even on the hottest days, while standard heated and ventilated front seats mean more options when choosing the ideal temperature. A heated steering wheel is also standard, making chilly days bearable. You’ll have no problem finding just the right position thanks to eight-way power-adjustable front seats, plus drivers can use the two-way lumbar support to make every drive relaxing.
Memory settings for the driver’s seat, steering wheel, and mirrors allow you to keep your ideal positioning no matter who drove the car last. Upgrading to the Luxury trim will add heated rear outboard seats, a radiant front knee heater, Ultrasuede interior trim, and acoustic front and rear side glass for a quieter ride.
High-Tech Connectivity Offerings
High-tech connectivity offerings are abundant in the Lexus RZ. Use wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto to connect your smartphone to the 14-inch multimedia touch-screen display so you can seamlessly access apps, playlists, contacts, and more. A wireless charger allows you to keep your device’s battery full without the hassle of messy cords. Five USB-C ports in the vehicle let everyone plug in their devices if they choose. The panoramic view monitor gives you a clear picture of the area around your vehicle making it easy to maneuver, and an available 10-inch head-up display helps you focus on the road.
Safety and Security Features
You won’t have to sacrifice safety and security just because you choose to drive an EV. Both 2024 Lexus RZs feature the Lexus Safety System+ 3.0. This suite of safety technologies offers all-speed dynamic radar cruise control with curve speed management, lane departure alert with steering assist, and intelligent high-beam assist. You’ll also enjoy safety features such as lane tracing assist, road sign assist, and a blind-spot monitor with rear cross-traffic alert. Nine strategically placed air bags keep you safe if you’re in an accident, and the LATCH system makes it easy to install and remove car seats.
