Driving Range & Charge Time 

Built on the brand’s first ever dedicated BEV (battery electric vehicle) platform, both models of the 2023 Lexus RZ are equipped with a powerful 71.4 kWh battery. This powerplant sends power to all four wheels through Lexus’ DIRECT4 all-wheel drive system to ensure sufficient traction in the most challenging of winter conditions that Alberta has to offer. The RZ’s advanced E-Axle system distributes power to the vehicle’s front- and rear-axle mounted motor, delivering ample amounts of all-electric power to whichever wheel requires it most.

Exterior Design & Features

Seamless E-Motion 

Embracing the brand’s new electric mobility design philosophy, the 2023 Lexus RZ embodies the concept of “E-Motion” through ultra-modern styling and Lexus-exclusive features. The vehicle’s illuminated & heated Lexus front emblem dramatically announces your arrival anywhere you go. Sporting a new-age spindle grille that’s devoid of any vents, and unique aero-ventilated wheels that help maximize the vehicle’s aerodynamics, the RZ’s striking design is the definition of form complementing function.
