2023 Lexus RZ 450e Electric SUV Concept - Details

2023 Lexus RZ 450e Electric SUV Teased Again Before 2022 Debut.
Lexus showed us an entire range of fully electric models yesterday while announcing its electrification strategy for the next decade. The Japanese automaker returned today with another teaser of the all-electric RZ SUV, which is set to debut in 2022. While the exterior design of the RZ was revealed in its entirety yesterday, with the new teaser Lexus gives us a closer look at the front and rear end of the final production model, and more specifically the RZ 450e trim. Naturally, the design of the RZ 450e is toned down compared to the LF-Z Electrified concept that was unveiled earlier in the year and previewed the electric SUV. The headlights look more conventional, the silhouette and the greenhouse are less futuristic and the plastic cladding on the bumper and wheel arches has a simpler design.
However, the RZ retains several features like the protruding nose with a fully covered spindle grille, the dynamic lines on the profile, the coupe-style roofline, and the high-mounted full-width LED taillights. The transparent central fin might be gone but the RZ got a set of spoilers looking like horns, and another duck-tail spoiler integrated on the tailgate. Overall, the styling approach for the rear end is similar to the BMW X6 but in a more resolved manner. The Lexus RZ 450e is based on the e-TNGA architecture, just like the Toyota bZ4x and Subaru Solterra siblings. It will be fitted with dual electric motors and will sport the new Direct4 four-wheel-drive system with advanced torque vectoring functions and a renewed focus on driving dynamics. The concept came with 600 km (373 miles) of range thanks to a 90 kWh underfloor lithium-ion battery, figures that the production version is expected to closely match. The teaser didn’t include any information on the launch date, but judging from the revealing pictures we expect it soon. It has been confirmed earlier that the Lexus RZ 450e will reach the market in 2022. Competitors will include the likes of Tesla Model Y, Ford Mustang Mach-E, Audi Q4 e-tron Sportback, Genesis GV60, etc.
