2024 Lexus RZ: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The biggest change for the 2024 Lexus RZ is the addition of the front-wheel-drive RZ 300e, a longer-range, efficiency-focused alternative to the 450e. Otherwise, the RZ receives only a light equipment update.
About the 2024 Lexus RZ
1st generation RZ (2023-present), second model year; lineup-expansion year that adds the 300e FWD.
Lexus positions the RZ as a quiet, design-led luxury electric SUV that puts comfort, craftsmanship and everyday ease ahead of headline performance numbers. The cabin is a major part of the pitch: minimal, airy and driver-focused, with a standard 14-inch touchscreen and a strong emphasis on calm, low-noise travel. Within the range, the 300e leans toward efficiency and daily range, while the 450e adds stronger acceleration and all-wheel-drive traction.
The 2024 RZ lineup splits into two clear personalities: the 201-hp 300e emphasizes range and easy commuting, while the 308-hp 450e uses two motors and all-wheel drive for stronger acceleration and added traction. Premium trims cover the main comforts and a 14-inch touchscreen, while Luxury trims add features such as Mark Levinson audio, a head-up display, richer seat trim and advanced parking help.
What changed, by category
Powertrain
The new RZ 300e joins the lineup with a 201-hp single electric motor and front-wheel drive, providing a longer-range, efficiency-focused alternative to the dual-motor, all-wheel-drive RZ 450e.
Tech
A dual-voltage charging cable that works with 120V and 240V outlets becomes standard across the 2024 RZ lineup.

4.4
2024 Lexus RZ
(29 reviews)
“It's great for everyday errands around home because the range is not very good, and we hope by the end of the lease the newer models then will have better range.”
“Electric cars like mine have very low charge mileage in the winter. Consider buying or leasing hybrid vehicle if you live in the Midwest.”
