Lexus priced the 2027 RZ from $47,495 including the $1,395 delivery fee, the company announced, with the electric SUV reaching dealers in early 2027. Three powertrains are offered: the 350e, the 450e AWD and the 550e F Sport AWD. The base 350e uses a 79.6 kWh battery and a 221-horsepower front motor for up to 301 miles of estimated range; the 450e AWD adds a rear motor for 308 combined horsepower and 260 miles at $50,995; the 550e F Sport AWD makes 402 horsepower, hits 0–60 mph in about 4.1–4.2 seconds, and starts at $58,770.
The pricing discipline is the story. Only the base model rose, by $100; every other trim holds its price. That restraint lands after a remarkable sales turnaround: Lexus sold 10,214 RZs in the first nine months of 2026, up 91.3% year over year and already a new annual record with three months left, after sales fell 34% in 2025 to about 6,400 units when the federal EV tax credit expired.
Every 2027 RZ gets a built-in NACS port on the passenger side, so drivers can use Tesla Superchargers without a separate adapter, with 10–80% charging in about 30 minutes. Heated steering wheel and heated and ventilated front seats are standard, as is the latest Lexus Interface with a 14-inch navigation screen and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The 550e adds M Mode, which uses paddle shifters to simulate an eight-speed manual — a playful touch on an otherwise sensible luxury EV.
