Lexus RZ

The 2026 Lexus RZ starts at $46,000 MSRP for the RZ 350e FWD and runs to $57,000 for the RZ 550e F Sport AWD across the 3 configurations we track. With Lexus's $1,395 destination fee, that comes to $47,395 to $58,395 before tax, registration and options. By trim: RZ 350e FWD, $46,000 ($47,395 with the destination fee); RZ 450e, $49,500 ($50,895 with the destination fee); RZ 550e F Sport AWD, $57,000 ($58,395 with the destination fee).

The Lexus RZ offers EPA-estimated range between 229 and 301 miles, depending on trim and wheel size. Real-world highway range at 70 mph is typically 10–15% lower than the EPA rating, and cold-weather range can drop an additional 20–30% in sub-freezing temperatures.

The Lexus RZ hits 0-60 mph in 4.1 to 7.1 seconds depending on configuration — 4.1 seconds is the quickest of the 3 configurations we track.

On a DC fast charger, the Lexus RZ goes from 10% to 80% in roughly 30 minutes. At home on a Level 2 charger (240V), a full charge takes about 7–9 hours, depending on the trim. A standard 120V outlet (Level 1) adds only about 4–5 miles of range an hour (from EPA efficiency, depending on the trim), so it suits overnight top-ups rather than full charges.

Yes — the Lexus RZ is offered in both front-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive configurations. FWD trims are typically less expensive and slightly more efficient; AWD trims add a second motor for better traction in snow/rain and faster acceleration.

No. The federal Clean Vehicle Credit (IRC §30D) expired on September 30, 2025 under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act — no new EVs purchased on or after October 1, 2025 qualify. State incentives remain available: see our /deals page for current rebates in California, Maine, Colorado, New Jersey, Massachusetts, and other states. The Section 30C EV Charger Tax Credit (for home charger installation) expired June 30, 2026 — if your charger was placed in service on or before that date, you can still claim it (30% up to $1,000) on your 2026 return via IRS Form 8911.

Real-world data from EV fleets suggests modern lithium-ion EV batteries (2020+) retain roughly 85–90% of their original capacity at 100,000 miles, above the 70% capacity floor in the Lexus RZ battery warranty, and 80–85% at 200,000 miles.

The Lexus RZ battery warranty is 8 years / 100,000 miles, with a 70% capacity floor. It covers capacity loss below that floor, and the coverage transfers to later owners. Compare it with every other EV in our EV battery warranty rankings.
