The brand's first EV in the U.S. market has unremarkable specs but one surprising feature.
The RZ's quietness is similarly brand-appropriate. There's a near-total absence of spacey EV powertrain noise—only in Sport mode can it faintly be heard. The degree of lift-off regen is selectable via steering-wheel paddles, and although it's short of one-pedal driving, the blended brakes are commendably linear and easy to modulate. The standard steering is quite light in Normal mode—though most Lexus owners are unlikely to object; Sport mode adds just a bit of weighting.
If you'd rather not steer at all, Traffic Jam Assist allows for hands-free operation on major highways at speeds under 25 mph. Exclusive to the Luxury version, this is another subscription-based feature, requiring a current Drive Connect account.A full phalanx of conventional automated helpers is also on hand, and a couple of them can stray into nagging territory.
Lexus is pricing the RZ450e at $59,650 for the Premium trim and $65,150 for the Luxury version. That price range at least partially overlaps many of the aforementioned EVs and is just above the Model Y. Viewed as a Lexus, the RZ450e offers plenty to like. Looked at as an EV, the 450e is a tougher sell. Both Lexus and Toyota will have to try harder if they're going to regain the leadership mantle for this next phase of electrification.
