The Lexus RZ has always been a good but unremarkable electric car. However, things get more interesting with the 2025 model starting at $43,975 including destination.

The surprising pricing is due to a new entry-level model called the 300e. It features a familiar design along with LED headlights, rain-sensing wipers and 18-inch wheels with two-tone finishes.

var adpushup = window.adpushup = window.adpushup || {que:()}; adpushup.que.push(function() { if (adpushup.config.platform !== “DESKTOP”) { adpushup.triggerAd(“5646c171 -cb6e-4e2c-8440-49013ca72758″); } else { adpushup.triggerAd(” e7c4c913-3924-4b2d-9279-6c00984dd130″); } });

Despite its entry-level status, the 300e is nicely equipped with heated NuLuxe front seats with 10-way power adjustment on the driver’s side. They also come with a power tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel, dual-zone climate control and a 14-inch infotainment system. Other highlights include a wireless smartphone charger and a ten-speaker audio system.

The Lexus Safety System+ 3.0 suite of driver-assist technologies is standard, offering adaptive cruise control, lane tracing assist and lane departure alert with steering assist. Other safety features include Road Sign Assist, a pre-collision system with pedestrian detection and a blind-spot monitor with rear cross-traffic alert.

Power is provided by a 72.8 kWh battery pack that powers a front-mounted electric motor, producing 201 hp (150 kW / 204 PS) and 196 lb-ft (265 Nm) of torque. This enables the RZ 300e to accelerate from 0-60 mph (0-96 km/h) in 7.4 seconds, reach a top speed of 99 mph (159 km/h), and have an EPA-estimated range of 266 miles (428 km/h). mile). kilometer).

While the range isn’t impressive, the car is available with the Lexus Reserve Program. It enables owners to get a gasoline or hybrid Lexus for use on long trips where charging would be cumbersome. Customers can use it for free for 30 days and within the first three years of ownership.

There don’t appear to be any other major changes for 2025, but the RZ 450 also gets a new entry-level variant. It starts at $48,675 and comes with the same equipment mentioned above.

The main differences are a smaller 71.4 kWh battery pack and a dual-motor all-wheel-drive system that produces 308 hp (230 kW / 312 PS). It reduces 0-60 mph (0-96 km/h) time to 5 seconds, but range plummets to 220 miles (354 km).

The rest of the range has also seen significant price cuts, with the RZ 300e Premium dropping from $55,175 to $48,175. Likewise, the RZ 450e Premium drops from $59,875 to $52,875.
