Check Out Lexus RZ's New Kid on the Block - More Wallet-Friendly, Still a Stunner!
by AutoExpert | 26 December, 2023
Hey folks, guess what's buzzing in the world of luxe electric SUVs? Lexus is shaking things up with a new, kinda-more-affordable Lexus RZ model.
Remember when they brought out that flashy RZ as a fancy alternative to Toyota's bZ4X? Well, they’re back at it with the 2024 RZ 300e and it's pretty sweet.
Let’s talk perks. This newbie packs a 72.8-kilowatt-hour battery, promising a cool 266 miles of range. And hey, it’s not shy on power either – you've got a neat 201 horsepower to play with.
But here’s the real gossip: Lexus has swapped out some stuff under the hood. Instead of the all-wheel-drive setup, this front-wheel-drive darling comes with a new subframe. Why should you care? Because it means smoother rides and less noise. It's like Lexus is pampering you without you even knowing it.
And for those who love a bit of bling, the 2024 RZ is strutting a new shade - Copper Crest. Plus, they're tossing in a dual-voltage charging cable that's pretty handy for any outlet you find.
Still yearning for more power? No worries, the RZ 450e isn't going anywhere with its 308 horsepower and a 0-60 that’ll make your heart skip a beat.
Alright, let's talk brass tacks. The new FWD RZ? It's yours starting at $55,150. A bit of a splurge compared to the Toyota bZ4X, but hey, it's a Lexus – you get what you pay for. As for the beefier RZ 450e Premium, that's gonna be around $59,850.
