Lexus continues its journey into electrification with the RZ, its all-electric luxury SUV that pairs refined craftsmanship with advanced electric powertrains. Between the 2025 and 2026 model years, Lexus focuses on refining range, technology, and interior appointments to elevate both performance and comfort for drivers across Canada.

Powertrain and Range

Both model years feature a dual-motor all-wheel-drive setup delivering a combined 308 horsepower and roughly 320 lb.-ft. of torque. The 2025 RZ comes with a 71.4 kWh lithium-ion battery offering an estimated driving range of approximately 354 km (220 miles), recharge times of around 10 hours on a standard 240V charger, and a quick DC fast-charge capability.

The 2026 Lexus RZ refines this formula, maintaining the same 308 hp output but improving efficiency and range modestly through software and powertrain tweaks. The updated model continues to offer an upscale driving experience with similar charging specs while supporting the latest Lexus Interface technology, including a 14-inch HD touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, enhancing connectivity and user experience.

Interior and Technology Enhancements

The Lexus RZ’s cabin is a refined sanctuary with spacious seating for five, premium materials, and advanced driver aids. Standard across both model years are multiple cameras for a 360-degree view, adaptive cruise control, and Lexus Safety System+ technology ensuring comprehensive collision avoidance and lane assistance.

The 2026 model introduces subtle improvements in interior materials and infotainment responsiveness, making the cabin feel more luxurious and user-friendly. Lexus Assistant voice control capabilities are upgraded, and wireless charging and driver convenience features continue to set the RZ apart in the premium EV segment.

Driving Experience and Safety

The RZ’s suspension setup, featuring independent front struts and multilink rear suspension, delivers smooth, confident handling. Both model years share a quick 0-60 mph acceleration in the mid-4-second range, making the RZ not just refined but also engaging to drive.​

Safety remains paramount with the inclusion of multiple airbags, lane departure warnings, pre-collision safety systems, and post-collision braking standard across trims and years, ensuring peace of mind on any journey.
