Lexus RZ 450e

Lexus RZ 450e Overview

It is the brand's first global Battery EV (BEV). The vehicle will be released in the global market by the end of this year, according to the brand. The new RZ incorporates a new Direct4 all-wheel-drive system and is constructed on a BEV-specific platform. The vehicle's basic performance has been enhanced by the use of a BEV-specific platform (e-TNGA), as well as a lightweight and very stiff body, to achieve optimal weight distribution by placing the battery and motor in the most optimal location.

Lexus RZ 450e Powertrain

The RZ is powered by two electric motors and a 71.4kWh battery pack (one at each axle). The front motor generates 201 bhp of power, while the rear motor produces 107 bhp power, for a total power output of 308 bhp of power and 435 Nm of tor. The RZ, on the other hand, is more powerful than the Toyota Bz4X, which is the top of the line. According to WLTC, the RZ 450e has a range of 450 kilometers on a single charge.
