The big news is 2025. Do major priced reductions finally make this a competitive offering?

Entry-Level Appeal: The introduction of a new base model for the front-wheel-drive RZ300e lowers the starting price by $11,175, making it more affordable at $43,975.
Expanded Options: The all-wheel-drive RZ450e also gains a new base model, starting at $48,675.
Across-the-Board Savings: Prices for the Premium and Luxury trims have been reduced by $6,975 for both RZ300e and RZ450e models.
These changes make the Lexus RZ a more competitive option in the growing electric vehicle market.

While the advertised, key word advertised, range is less than the competition, Lexus seems to be honest about it as it has met or exceeded its predicted range in the first few days of driving.🤔

Range is pretty much around 180-220 miles depending on wheel size, drive mode and AC/Heat usage. Lexus quality, solidity, quietness and performance are impressive. While most first gen EVs seem half baked the RZ is all Lexus.

The 2024 Price as shown: $68,920 USD
