The all-electric SUV will be Lexus’ first bespoke EV and will sit on the e-TNGA platform
Lexus will introduce its first electric vehicle on April 20. The all-electric RZ SUV will be the first in a line of all-electric Lexus cars to arrive in the coming years. Lexus and parent firm Toyota last year revealed the 15 EV concept line-up – which includes the RZ – last year previewing an all-electric model from both carmakers, including a possible successor to the Lexus LFA. Following its debut as a concept last year, Lexus revealed the new RZ in new images in 2022 for a more detailed look at the SUV’s design.
The RZ concept previews a sleek angular SUV-coupe from Toyota’s luxury brand with many of the brand’s design elements optimized for use in EVs. The closed off grille up front retains the same basic design as other Lexus SUVs, with the sharp and edgy design also common to many of the new Lexus.
The center console is tilted towards the driver and has a flush-sitting touchscreen
Apart from the date announcement, Lexus also shared a picture of the RZ’s interiors. The image shows a driver centric cabin layout with the center console on the driver’s side. What the Dash shares with other Lexus is that the central touchscreen is included in the dash instead of a free-standing unit. Other notable elements include a digital instrument cluster, heads up display and a Tesla-style yoke steering.

The new RZ will share the same platform as the new Toyota bZ4x – Toyota’s e-TNGA platform. While powertrain details will be revealed at the time of its launch, the RZ is expected to come with a twin-motor set-up with one sitting on each axle.
