Lexus has launched an updated version of its all-electric RZ crossover in Germany, introducing a revised drivetrain, an improved battery and expanded digital features-while also increasing the entry price to €57,100, around €1,500 more than before.

Entry-Level RZ 350e: Front-Wheel Drive and Longer WLTP Range

The base RZ 350e comes with front-wheel drive and produces 227 hp. Buyers opting for the higher-spec Premium trim will need to pay an additional €7,900.

The headline engineering change is an optimised 77 kWh battery, which lifts the car’s claimed driving range to up to 509 km (WLTP). The previous version offered a maximum of 479 km on the same test cycle.

Faster Charging: About 30 Minutes on DC and 22 kW AC Capability

Lexus has also improved charging performance. On a rapid DC charger, the battery can be replenished from 10% to 80% in roughly 30 minutes.

For home and destination charging, the onboard AC charger now supports up to 22 kW, doubling the earlier 11 kW capability.

More Power for Performance Buyers: RZ 500e and New RZ 550e

Customers looking for stronger performance can choose the all-wheel-drive RZ 500e, rated at 380 hp, with prices starting at €63,000.

Above that sits the new RZ 550e, offering 408 hp and an entry price of €78,700. Despite the higher output, Lexus quotes a driving range of up to 462 km (WLTP) for this model.

Premium Positioning Maintained-Along with Premium Pricing

With the update, the Lexus RZ becomes more capable on range and charging while adding further technology features, underscoring its premium ambitions-reflected in the higher list prices.
