Lexus RZ

Steer-by-wire is the technology Lexus puts first on the UK page for the RZ, calling it a new way of driving with precise control. The all-electric SUV starts at £48,365 there. The overview page does not say which trims carry the system, so that is one to confirm with a retailer.

Three versions, one trade between range and pace

The RZ 350e is the efficient end of the line: front wheel drive, 224 DIN hp (165 kW), 0 to 62 mph in 7.5 seconds and up to 346 miles on the combined WLTP cycle. The 500e moves to Direct4 all wheel drive with 380 DIN hp (280 kW), reaching 62 mph in 4.6 seconds and quoting up to 306 miles. At the top, the 550e makes 408 DIN hp (300 kW), takes 4.4 seconds and quotes up to 287 miles, also with Direct4. Each step up costs about 20 to 40 miles of quoted range.

Charging and what fleets pay

On a 150 kW rapid charger, Lexus gives roughly 28 minutes from 10% to 80%. For company car drivers the UK page listed a business contract hire offer on the 350e at £561 a month plus VAT, with an initial rental of £3,366 plus VAT, over 36 months and 8,000 miles a year, when read on 9 November 2026. A Lexus HomeCharge unit is offered at £895 including standard installation with a new plug-in hybrid or electric Lexus, and a £1,495 ownership package bundles the charger, a three year service plan and access to a hybrid car for up to two weeks a year over three years. These are time-limited offers and change.

Size and carrying space

The body measures 4,805 mm long, 1,895 mm wide and 1,635 mm high on a 2,850 mm wheelbase. It seats five, and Lexus quotes 586 litres of luggage volume with an asterisk, so the measurement basis should be checked on the specification sheet.
