RZ
A NEW ERA BEGINS THE ALL-NEW RZ
Achieving a natural feeling for drivers through control, confidence, and comfort.

Introducing the all-new RZ, Lexus' first globally-available dedicated battery electric vehicle (BEV) model. In addition to marking Lexus’ transition into a BEV-centered brand, the RZ embodies the unique Lexus vehicle design and driving experience made possible by advanced electrification technology.

Along with the DIRECT4 all-wheel drive system, enables vehicle control that is faithful to the driver’s intention and enhances the uniquely Lexus driving flavor, the "Lexus Driving Signature."

THE "TAZUNA" COCKPIT

The cockpit was designed based on the new concept of "Tazuna", the Japanese word for “rein”. Inspired by the relationship between horse and rider, who communicate through a single rein, steering wheel-mounted switches and the vehicle’s head-up display have been highly coordinated to create a space in which various functions, such as the navigation system, audio system, and driving mode selection, can be performed while allowing the driver to concentrate on driving.

LEXUS STYLING EVOLVED

The exterior design expresses the seamless acceleration and dynamic torque-filled performance specific to BEVs. The iconic spindle grille has evolved into the Lexus spindle body, which focuses on aerodynamic efficiencies, optimized proportions, and style, versus serving the cooling and exhaust needs of an internal combustion engine.

DIRECT4

The new DIRECT4 all-wheel drive system and the newly developed high-output eAxle motor continuously control the drive force of the four wheels with high precision.

It works according to the ground contact load of the vehicle regardless of road surface and driving conditions to achieve an exhilarating driving experience in line with the driver's intention.

E-TNGA DEDICATED BEV PLATFORM

RZ utilizes a Lexus-first dedicated BEV platform (e-TNGA) to significantly evolve the fundamental performance of the vehicle and provide the exhilarating joy of driving.

The platform offers high levels of stability and ride comfort by mounting the battery under the vehicle floor and features a low center of gravity and moment of inertia. The body is strengthened by reinforcing the radiator support area and adding a V-shaped brace for excellent handling performance.
