2023 Lexus RZ 450e Trims Comparison

2023 RZ 450e trim level differences

The 2023 Lexus RZ 450e is an all-electric compact SUV available in Premium and Luxury trim levels. Both come with two electric motors that drive the front and rear wheels, producing a combined 308 horsepower. The motors are fed by a 71.4-kWh lithium-ion battery pack, and the RZ 450e can handle DC fast charging up to 150 kW. The Premium trim with the 18-inch wheels is estimated to travel 220 miles on a full charge. If you go with the 20-inch wheels that are standard on the Luxury trim, that range estimate drops to 196 miles.

Which 2023 RZ 450e trim does Edmunds recommend?

We recommend stepping up to the Luxury trim because it adds several features, making it feel like a proper luxury SUV. These include a quieter cabin, a powerful audio system upgrade, synthetic suede upholstery and several safety enhancements. Even better, it won't break the bank when compared to the supporting Premium trim.
