2025 Lexus RZ price cut by $11,200 with new entry-level grade


The 2025 Lexus RZ electric crossover is now $11,200 less expensive than last year thanks to a new entry-level grade.

In this nameless trim level, the single-motor front-wheel-drive RZ 300e costs $43,975 with the mandatory $1,175 destination fee. That’s down from $55,175 for the 2024 RZ 300e Premium grade, which was the entry-level version for 2024.

The RZ 300e is still available in Premium trim for 2025, with prices of $48,175 and $49,415 with 18-inch and 20-inch wheels, respectively. The single-motor model is also available in high-end Luxury spec for $53,905.

With the new entry-level grade, the dual-motor all-wheel drive RZ 450e now starts at $48,675—an effective price cut of $11,200 from the 2024 model. The RZ 450e Premium costs $52,875 with 18-inch wheels and $54,115 with 20-inch wheels, while the Luxury grade costs $58,605.

Single-motor RZ 300e models are still rated at 201 hp, while dual-motor RZ 450e models continue with 308 hp enabling 0-60 mph in a Lexus-estimated 5.0 seconds. RZ 300e models have a 72.8-kwh CATL battery pack, while RZ 450e models have a 71.4-kwh pack from Prime Planet Energy, a joint venture of battery supplier Panasonic and Lexus parent Toyota.

EPA-estimated range still maxes out at 266 miles for RZ 300e models equipped with 18-inch wheels. That drops to 224 miles with 20-inch wheels. RZ 450e models continue to offer 220 miles of range with 18-inch wheels and just 196 miles with 20-inch wheels. But Lexus has prioritized features, not range, since the RZ arrived as a 2023 model.

While it has sold the UX 300e crossover in Europe since 2020, the RZ is the only all-electric Lexus currently sold in the U.S. Lexus is expected to launch another, larger electric crossover in 2026, previewed by the LF-ZL concept shown last year, on the way to becoming an all-electric brand by 2030.
