Lexus Unveils the All-New RZ with Next-Gen Technology and Performance

Introducing Steer-by-Wire, Interactive Manual Drive, and Enhanced BEV Capabilities for a Revolutionary Driving Experience.

Lexus has officially premiered the new RZ in Brussels, Belgium, showcasing a groundbreaking step forward in luxury electric vehicles. With innovations like a Steer-by-Wire System, Interactive Manual Drive, and an optimized Battery EV (BEV) System, the RZ redefines driving dynamics, blending exhilaration with eco-conscious engineering. The model is set to roll out globally starting fall 2025.

Key Innovations in the New Lexus RZ

  1. Revolutionary Steer-by-Wire System
    • A Lexus first, this system eliminates the mechanical connection between the steering wheel and tires, transmitting inputs electronically for precise control. The steering angle adjusts dynamically based on speed, enhancing low-speed maneuverability and high-speed stability.
  2. Interactive Manual Drive
    • Simulating the thrill of manual shifting, this system uses paddle shifters to control virtual gears, synchronizing acceleration and deceleration with immersive sound for a more engaging driving feel.
  3. Enhanced BEV System and DIRECT4 AWD
    • A redesigned BEV platform improves motor output, extends driving range, and shortens charging times. The DIRECT4 AWD system optimally distributes torque between front and rear wheels for sharp cornering, stable acceleration, and better traction control.

Performance and Specs

  • RZ550e F SPORT with 300kW system output, accelerating from 0-100 km/h in 4.4 seconds.
  • Range up to 575 km (FWD) or 500 km (AWD) on a single charge.
  • Rapid charging capability reduces downtime, with new battery preconditioning for cold weather efficiency.

Sporty Design and Premium Interior

The RZ features aerodynamic elements like front and rear spoilers, 20-inch aero wheels, and exclusive F SPORT exterior colors like Neutrino Gray. Inside, sport seats, aluminum pedals, and a dimmable panoramic roof create a luxurious yet dynamic ambiance. The new Dynamic Shadowy Illumination enhances cabin atmosphere with flowing light patterns.

Lexus’ Vision for the Future

Shinya Ito, Lexus International Chief Engineer, stated: “We are refining electrification to deepen the joy of driving. The new RZ is a fusion of cutting-edge hardware and software, enhancing the connection between driver and vehicle.”

With its tech-forward approach and relentless pursuit of driving pleasure, Lexus sets a new benchmark for luxury BEVs, aligning with its commitment to a carbon-neutral future.

  1. Hello there! This is kind of off topic but I need some help from an established blog. Is it hard to set up your own blog? I’m not very techincal but I can figure things out pretty fast. I’m thinking about setting up my own but I’m not sure where to begin. Do you have any points or suggestions? Thank you
