Lexus RZ News and Reviews

Luxury brand Lexus was early to the hybrid party, but has been slow to switch to full EV. That changes in 2026, with the brand committed to transforming its full lineup to electric by 2035. Two recent concept cars show off new battery tech that will double vehicle range.

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety has released its latest safety ratings, and three EVs introduced in 2023 topped the charts for crash safety and pedestrian protection.

If you're buying an electric car, you should also be thinking about purchasing and installing a home charger. Home charging is cheaper, more convenient, and better for your car. Lexus has partnered with ChargePoint to offer chargers and installation to purchasers of its new RZ 450e electric SUV.

Lexus introduced the first hybrid in the luxury SUV segment in 2005 with the RX450h. Now, it's ready to go full-electric with the RZ, the first of a series of all-electric Lexus models. We expect it to start in the mid-$50,000 range, and it comes with some very interesting features.
