Anyone planning on getting a RZ 450e EV? Looks and sounds (excuse the pun) interesting!

Looks nice but lacks power.

2023 Lexus RZ 450e pricing information. Estimates set the starting MSRP for the new Lexus RZ 450e at about $55,000 for the 450e Premium. A higher-spec 450e Luxury trim is also planned that should go on the market for an estimated $60,000.

Equivalent to 308 horsepower - which is good for 0-60 mph in about 5.5 seconds.

If you need more power then it looks like you had better look at Tesla or Audi.

Why only Tesla or Audi? They're the only brands that makes SUVs faster than this Lexus?

Put down a deposit in May 2022. I'm 6th on the list. Expecting to get one in March or April.

Canadian pricing has been released to dealers. Just under 65k CAD for the base with 18" wheels and no sunroof. Likely to qualify for the Federal and BC/Quebec rebates. Tops out at 81k CAD for the Executive. Black is free, $500 for the other colours.

For reference, the Model Y LR up here in Canuckland starts at 70k and the Performance at 76k after the recent price drops.

I do have a deposit on the RZ, but around 100+ on the list. Delivery is slated to start in April; but I will wait to test drive it before making a decision. The lack of an opening sunroof is the main dealbreaker for me currently.

Default Looks like they're starting to arrive
We got a heads up from our Lexus dealer that they are expecting one in the next few days. And several dealers in Missouri have received one or two.

Were you able to specify color and trim?

fyi … You can now build the RZ on the Lexus website. Just configured the RZ450e Premium, Eminent White with Thunderstorm/Macadamia nuluxe and the price is $60,150.

Looks good. However, not a fan of the yoke. So am glad to see a “regular” steering wheel is available.

What is the displacement of this car? How much is the acceleration of a hundred kilometers?
