The Lexus RZ returns for the 2026 model with more power and greater range. This means you can experience an elevated level of performance without making any compromises. Driving enthusiasts will especially enjoy the all-new RZ 550e F SPORT AWD model. Its blistering acceleration and bolder appearance promise to excite.

A Stronger Punch With More Miles

Lexus has redesigned the 2026 RZ’s battery system to develop more power. The RZ 350e FWD model, which features a single electric motor, now produces an additional 20 horsepower. Total output rises to 221 horsepower, thus allowing drivers to enjoy enhanced acceleration. An increased driving range of 300 miles sweetens the deal.

While the dual-motor AWD trim has the same output as before, it does benefit from an increased driving range. The RZ 450e AWD now has an EPA-estimated range of 260 miles. By comparison, last year’s model could travel up to 220 miles between charges.

Faster Charging

Drivers will certainly appreciate the RZ’s enhanced charging capabilities. A new North American Charging System (NACS) port replaces the vehicle’s previous CCS port. With DC fast charging, the SUV can charge from 10% to 80% battery capacity in about 30 minutes.

All-New RZ 550e F SPORT AWD

For drivers who desire more thrills, Lexus offers the new RZ 550e F SPORT AWD. This exhilarating trim is rated to generate an exciting 402 horsepower. Along with the extra muscle comes an exclusive M Mode, which enables virtual manual gear shifting via paddle shifters.

You will also notice the racy RZ 550e F Sport AWD’s more aggressive appearance. Its distinctive black exterior accents make a serious statement. Not only do the exclusive 20-inch aero wheels enhance styling, but they also aid efficiency. A new light gray paint color called Wind is exclusively available for the RZ 550e F Sport AWD.
