The all-new 2023 Lexus RZ 450e, the luxury brand’s first global Battery EV (BEV), has a current U.S. manufacturer-estimated range is up to 225 miles with 18-inch tires. The DIRECT4 all-wheel drive system controls front and rear drive force according to driving and road surface conditions. Available in the U.S. at a future date, the Lexus-first Steer by Wire system enables the electronic exchange of steering and road surface information between the steering control and tires via electrical signals, not mechanical linkage. The 2023 Lexus RZ 450e is expected to go on sale towards the end of 2022.
