The first-ever #Lexus electric vehicle, the #LexusRZ was a pretty late and disappointing entry in the premium electric SUV space back in 2023. For 2026, the #LexusRZ550eFSport promises to add a healthy dose of performance and handling thanks to a new battery pack and more powerful electric motors. The #RZ550e is also the first ever fully electric #FSport model and while the #RZ550eFSport still has less range than its rivals, the base versions of the RZ now finally offer more than 300 miles on a full charge.

once they double the range it will sell like hot cakes
Did you seriously say that Lexus should have driven the Hyundai Ionic 5? For what, to see how chintzy it is inside? I haven’t watched one of your videos in years, but I see you still say weird crazy off the wall stuff.🙄
Honestly, this needs the 95,8kWh battery pack from the new Highlander.
Over $60k for a range of 229 miles? That’s absolutely garbage… sorry Lexus you can keep this excuse of an ev
I think the reason why Lexus is keeping the RZ behind is so that it doesn’t cannibalize the demand for the profitable RX HEVs and PHEVs. There is so much demand for the RAV4 that building a better BZ isn’t going to affect the sale numbers, but the RX doesn’t have as much demand, but it’s super profitable.
Wind is not a color.
At 80% during winter I get 266 miles. At 100% during winter I get between 315 – 322 miles.
Summer time I get 366 mile range off of a 84KW battery with 800volt tech. Genesis did right.
This car looks premium and awesome but man even with the updates for 2026 it still sucks
Those wheel covers are not ugly whatsoever
I see that Genesis GV60 is better in every spec.
Lol that range is abysmal! Lexus absolutely phoned in with this one
Any car who has the piano black plastic on top of the wheel look cheap and ugly
You "reviewers" ALWAYS seem to miss the point when it comes to range in this car. Two hundred miles of range is way plenty for folks who don't travel huge distances. There is also a version of this vehicle that offers three hundred miles of range. Additionally, you can now plug and charge this much faster than the order version.
the people complaining about the range have probably never driven 500+ miles non stop
also it’s made for the daily commute
229 miles is actually awful
Just get the Model Y, everything about the Model Y is so much better. Love Lexus but other than the Chinese, nobody can figure it out.
Meh
I’d go with the Optiq-V over the Lexus.
I test-drove the original RZ 2 years ago. I love it except for the unimpressive driving range and lack of premium interior design. Now, RZ550e, I would consider it if the driving range is at least 330 miles with Toyota’s hi-tech Yoke steering. I would undoubtedly choose the Audi A6 eTron Sportback.
No Mark levinson on the press vehicle?? Lol
A flat head srew driver or trim removal tool can take off those wheel covers
in terms of size, this actually competes with genesis gv70 electrified not gv60. GV70 electrified AWD has the same range as rz450e awd 263mi
I think Toyota might be regretting splitting their EV focus with Hydrogen and ending up with such a compromised EV given the hefty discounts on the 350 and 'dealer milage' discounts on the 450.
why is he complaining about a 0-60 at 3.9 seconds? there are many modern sports cars and sports sedans that barely get below 5 seconds🤦. ill wait to find this on the used market, can't wait.
Lexus should be ashamed of this POS.
Another electric turd from Lexus Toyota, sound like shit, this should not be a Lexus.
The lexus rz 550e "UPDATE" is still seriously behind!!
Didn’t know wind had a color…
Another dismal attempt by Toyota! 😂
Pass! Car is a joke
The front fascia looks like Deadpool’s mask. 😂😂😂😂
Tesla is garbage compared to Lexus quality
