Yahoo Autos 2023 Lexus RZ 450e electric crossover starts at $59,650
Lexus quietly posted pricing for the battery-electric 2023 RZ 450e crossover on its retail site. There are two trims at launch, RZ 450e Premium and RZ 450e Luxury, both all-wheel drive. The Premium comes with features like a panoramic glass roof, 14-inch touchscreen display, climate controlled, eight-way power seats in the front row, heated steering wheel, single-color ambient lighting, wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, wireless phone charging, five USB ports, Lexus 10-speaker audio, and adaptive cruise control.
At launch last April, Lexus estimated the RZ's range on the Premium's standard 18-inch wheels at 225 miles. That range figure has since been reduced to 220 miles on the 18-inchers. The Premium trim starts at $59,650 after the $1,150 destination charge, but only if painted in the Caviar exterior color. The six additional color options add $500 to the price. The Premium can also be optioned with 20-inch wheels for an additional $1.240, that choice reducing driving range to an estimated 196 miles on a charge.
The Luxury trim upgrades the spec with a 10-inch heads-up display, heated rear outboard seats, Ultrasuede seat fabric with Tsuyasumi trim, multicolor ambient lighting, a "radiant front knee heater," acoustic glass, auto dimming side mirrors, an 1,800-watt, 13-speaker, Mark Levinson sound system, lane change assist, and front cross-traffic alert. It comes on the 20-inch, 10-spoke wheels standard and starts at $65,150 after destination.
