Updated Lexus RZ 2026 for North America
Lexus has introduced an updated version of the RZ electric crossover for the North American market. The vehicle received a new battery, increased power, and extended range. However, prices for the American market have not yet been disclosed.
Three model variants are available:
All 2026 models for North America come with the NACS connector as standard. Charging from 10% to 80% takes less than 30 minutes.
Technical Features
Unlike European versions, the North American RZ likely will not feature the steer-by-wire system. Another interesting feature is the M Mode virtual transmission, available only in the top-tier 550e version.
The interior has been updated: a panoramic glass roof with adjustable opacity has been added, and the RZ 550e features black Ultrasuede with contrasting blue stitching.
Despite significant technical improvements, particularly in power and charging speed, the range figures for the top-tier version appear rather modest compared to modern electric vehicles. This could be a serious consideration for potential buyers, especially in regions with underdeveloped charging infrastructure.
