Here we’ll dive deeply into the features that make the 2023 Lexus RZ 450e a vehicle worthy of warriors.
The 2023 Lexus RZ 450e: Core Information and Ratings
The 2023 Lexus RZ 450e electric vehicle comes with uniquely configured and programmed electric motors. In most electric vehicles with two electric motors, the pair work independently to run their respective axles and wheels. This isn’t so with the motors in the 2023 Lexus RZ 450e. Its electric motors are 100 percent variable in the output destination. This means that power from one or both can transfer to any wheels requiring it at a moment’s notice. This motor configuration is spectacularly efficient, producing 210 and 107 horsepower with 150 kWh and 80 kWh units, respectively.
While Lexus hasn’t yet released combined horsepower and torque ratings for this vehicle, they’re guaranteed to be impressive enough to wow EV enthusiasts across the globe just as they did the warriors of Wakanda. The 2023 Lexus RZ 450e will run for around 225 miles on its impressive 18-inch tires with a single charge or 126.7 miles in green efficiency mode. Its standard core setup is also capable of towing up to 1,653 pounds.
The standard battery core of the 2023 Lexus RZ 450e includes a massive and ultra-efficient 75 kWh lithium-ion battery with a surprising 96 cells. The battery’s architecture follows a next-generation 400-volt format.
Impressive Safety Technology
The 2023 Lexus RZ 450e comes with an array of high-tech safety features that would impress the most powerful of warriors. No great EV can go without a solid set of safety features any more than those warriors can go without high-quality armor.
Drivers will find that the key to the ultra-safe ride of this EV is its combination of lane-departure alert, lane-keeping assistance, adaptive cruise control, and automatic emergency braking technologies. Even more impressive, the 2023 Lexus RZ 450e has an emergency driving stop system. To give you some added peace of mind, this system brings the RZ 450e to a complete halt when it detects an incapacitated driver.
Safety isn’t only important at high speeds on crowded roads. This EV’s onboard automatic parking system is particularly advanced. It is a fully autonomous automated system capable of parking in all three traditional manners: backing up, driving forwards, or parallel parking into the space as needed.
The sensor suite used to achieve this autonomous parking marvel is so incredibly sensitive that it will always detect traffic or pedestrians who move into its path as it goes. It will come to a complete stop when this happens for the safety of everyone involved. This makes the 2023 Lexus RZ 450e remarkably superior to vehicles without high-tech parking features and toe-to-toe with most that do.
Infotainment and Entertainment Technologies Worthy of a King
The 2023 Lexus RZ 450e has a massive horizontally set 14-inch touch-screen infotainment system. The configuration of the infotainment display in relation to the rest of the main console controls is well worth noting. For the driver’s convenience, most functions traditionally relegated to dials and buttons all over the center of the main consoles are now entirely accessible on the infotainment system.
Additionally, it will have voice activation programming suites installed, among many others, so drivers can safely alter almost any setting with a simple command. Most of the functions that drivers can’t control in this way they’ll be able to manage through the buttons on the steering wheel. This control-type combination helps to maximize the road attention of drivers, making everyone on the road safer.
The sound system equipped on the 2023 Lexus RZ 450e is even more impressive. It is a Mark Levinson 13-speaker, 12-channel premium surround sound version with a 1,800-watt amplifier. This makes it capable of playing the intense music loved by the Wakandan warriors at volume and quality levels that will intimidate any foe. The 10-inch head-up display shows vital vehicle and useful infotainment and entertainment information before the driver’s eyes, further magnifying the union between the EV’s safety level and its cabin tech features.
Wireless versions of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a Panoramic View Monitor, and five USB-C ports are all standard at every trim level. USB-C ports differ from standard ports in that they can transfer data and power. The Drive Connect Cloud Navigation system allows drivers to make their way from point A to point B in the most effective and time-efficient manner possible.
