2026 Lexus RZ Trims Comparison

Which 2026 RZ trim does Edmunds recommend?

We think you should get the RZ 350e. Yeah, it's the entry-level trim, but it's also the best value. It offers more range than the 450e, which is arguably more useful than the 450e's extra speed, and comes with most of the luxury features you'd expect from a Lexus. And you can always step up to the Premium package if you want more features. 

2026 RZ trim level differences

The 2026 Lexus RZ is available in three main versions: the RZ 350e, the RZ 450e and the top-trim 550e F Sport. Lexus also offers the RZ 350e Premium, 450e Premium and 450e Luxury trims that have more standard features. The main difference between the 350e, 450e and 500e is the amount of power and range they each have.

The RZ 350e comes with a single electric motor (221 horsepower) that drives the front wheels. Lexus estimates it will offer up to 301 miles of range on a single charge (284 miles with 20-inch wheels). The RZ 450e adds a second motor for all-wheel drive with a combined output of 308 hp. It's estimated to deliver up to 264 miles of range. The new 550e F Sport also comes with dual motors and all-wheel drive, with a combined output of 402 hp and 229 miles of range. 

Standard
Comes with features including:

  • 18-inch alloy wheels
  • Dual-zone automatic climate control
  • Synthetic leather upholstery
  • Power-adjustable front seats
  • Heated and ventilated front seats
  • Heated steering wheel
  • Driver's seat memory functions
  • Wireless charging pad
  • Cloud-based navigation system
  • 10-speaker audio system
  • Wireless connectivity for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
  • 14-inch infotainment touchscreen

Driver assist features on every RZ include:

  • Forward collision mitigation (warns you of an impending collision and applies the brakes in certain scenarios)
  • Adaptive cruise control (adjusts speed to maintain a constant distance between the vehicle and the car in front)
  • Lane keeping assistance (makes minor steering corrections to help keep the vehicle centered in its lane)
  • Blind-spot warning with rear cross-traffic warning (alerts you if a vehicle is in your blind spot during a lane change or while in reverse)

Premium
Builds on the Standard trim with:

  • Hands-free power liftgate
  • Dynamic Sky panoramic sunroof (turns from clear to frosted with a push of a button)
  • 360-degree camera (gives you a top-down view of the RZ and its surroundings in tight parking situations)
  • Interior ambient lighting
  • Front and rear parking sensors (alert you to obstacles that may not be visible in front of or behind the vehicle when parking)
  • Rear automatic braking (applies the brakes automatically to avoid an imminent collision with an object behind the vehicle)

Luxury
Raises the refinement by adding: 

  • 20-inch wheels
  • Sound-reducing windows
  • Enhanced interior ambient lighting
  • Synthetic suede seat upholstery inserts
  • Radiant front knee heating
  • Heated rear outboard seats
  • 13-speaker Mark Levinson premium audio

The Luxury trim also adds several tech enhancements:

  • Head-up display (displays important information in your sight line on the windshield)
  • Traffic Jam Assist (enhanced lane keeping assistance and adaptive cruise control functionality)
  • Lane change assistance (guides the vehicle into the next lane when the turn signal is used)
  • Front cross-traffic warning (warns you if a vehicle is about to cross your path and cause a collision)
  • Semi-automated parking system (steers into a parking spot with little or no driver intervention)
  • Digital key access

F Sport
The F Sport has a similar set of features to the Luxury but with some curious omissions. The audio system, for example, reverts to the 10-speaker Lexus system and some driver aids are optional. Aside from its additional power and performance-tuned suspension, the F Sport's exclusive features include:  

  • 20-inch wheels with aero covers
  • M mode simulated gear shifts

Many of the Luxury trim's features are optional for the Premium. The F Sport can also fill in some gaps with the Luxury package, which adds the Mark Levinson audio system and Traffic Jam Assist among other features. 

Other add-ons include:

  • Windshield wiper de-icer and headlight washers
  • Digital rearview mirror (allows you to see out of the back even with a fully loaded cargo area)
