CONS

Range trails class leaders
Fast-charging speeds are average for the segment

The Lexus RZ 2026 is a fully electric luxury SUV. It sits in the premium midsize crossover segment. The body style follows a five-door SUV layout with a focus on comfort, ride quality, and low cabin noise.

Battery capacity remains in the mid-size range typical for this class. Expect usable capacity around the low-70 kWh mark, depending on variant. Real-world range targets daily commuting and urban driving rather than long-distance efficiency leadership. DC fast charging supports highway stops, while AC charging suits home and workplace setups.

Pricing places the RZ in the premium EV bracket. It suits buyers prioritizing refinement, interior quality, and smooth driving dynamics. Within the brand, it sits above the Lexus UX 300e and alongside electrified Lexus SUVs. Alternatives include models from Tesla and Audi. Compared with the Tesla Model Y, the RZ trades outright efficiency and range for ride comfort and cabin isolation.
