Exciting Upgrades for the 2026 Lexus RZ!

Lexus is set to revolutionize the luxury EV SUV scene with the 2026 RZ, featuring powerful updates that are sure to turn heads in the U.S. market. This redesigned model kicks off with a base RZ350e that now delivers an impressive 221 horsepower—20 ponies more than its predecessor—and promises an astonishing range of 300 miles, a significant leap from the previous 266-mile estimate.

Meet the RZ550e F Sport: The Star of the Show!

For those craving thrill and performance, the RZ550e F Sport shines with its dual-motor setup, boasting 402 horsepower and rocketing from 0 to 60 mph in just 4.1 seconds! However, this powerhouse does come with slightly less range—225 miles—due to its larger 77 kWh battery compared to the standard models’ 75 kWh.

Charge Like Never Before: Tesla Superchargers Included!

One of the most exciting updates is the integration of the NACS (North American Charging Standard) charging port, allowing drivers to utilize Tesla Superchargers for rapid DC fast charging. Lexus claims charging from 10% to 80% will take just 30 minutes, making long road trips more convenient.

Where’s the Yoke?!

While many were eager to experience the futuristic steer-by-wire system utilizing a yoke controller, Lexus has confirmed that this feature won’t be making its way to the U.S. models just yet. Although this innovative system will debut in Europe, American enthusiasts may have to wait for further updates on its availability.

What About Pricing?

Pricing details are under wraps, but industry insiders speculate that the 2026 Lexus RZ will start at around $45,000, potentially exceeding $60,000 for the high-performance RZ550e F Sport. Get ready; these luxury upgrades will hit U.S. dealerships later this year!
