2027 Lexus RZ Price: From $47,495, Up to 301 Miles — A Three-Powertrain Electric Crossover With a 402-HP F SPORT Arrives in Early 2027
Lexus's electric crossover is offered in three powertrains, from a 301-mile front-drive 350e to the 402-horsepower 550e F SPORT.
Lexus has priced the 2027 RZ for the US, and the headline is a lower way in: the base RZ 350e starts at $47,495 including a $1,395 destination fee, which works out to $46,100 before delivery. The electric crossover now comes in three powertrains — a front-drive 350e, an all-wheel-drive 450e and a 402-horsepower 550e F SPORT — and reaches dealers in early 2027, according to Lexus's October 26 announcement.
Prices by trim
Every price below includes the $1,395 delivery, processing and handling fee. The RZ 350e is $47,495 and the 350e Premium is $49,970. The 450e AWD starts at $50,995, the 450e Premium AWD is $53,470, and the 450e Luxury AWD is $58,495. The 550e F SPORT AWD tops the range at $58,770, only $275 more than the Luxury, so the choice between them is about character rather than money.
Three powertrains, three different range figures
The front-drive 350e makes 221 total system horsepower and carries a 74.69 kWh battery. Lexus estimates 301 miles of range on 18-inch wheels, the best figure in the lineup. The 450e AWD uses the same battery and makes 308 horsepower, with an estimated 260 miles on the same wheel size. The 550e F SPORT AWD makes 402 horsepower, has a slightly larger 76.96 kWh battery and does 0–60 mph in 4.1 seconds, which Lexus calls the quickest RZ yet. Its estimate is about 229 miles on 20-inch wheels.
That spread matters for shoppers. Choosing all-wheel drive costs 41 miles of estimated range against the 350e, and the F SPORT gives up about 72 miles against it. These are manufacturer estimates, not EPA labels, so the final numbers may differ when the cars are certified. For how sticker range and real-world range diverge, see our guide to EV range.
Charging and the NACS port
All three powertrains use a NACS (SAE J3400) charge port on the passenger side. Lexus says DC fast charging from 10% to 80% takes around 30 minutes under ideal conditions. The press release also lists an onboard AC charger, but gives the rating as '11-kWh', which looks like a typo for 11 kW; we have not treated it as confirmed.
What you get inside
Heated and ventilated front seats and a heated steering wheel are standard, along with NuLuxe seating, a 14-inch touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and a digital key. The Luxury and F SPORT grades step up to Ultrasuede seats and animated door lighting, and a dimmable panoramic roof is available. The F SPORT adds M Mode, which uses the paddle shifters to simulate an eight-speed gearbox with simulated engine and exhaust sounds.
Lexus Safety System+ 3.0 is standard, including pre-collision braking with pedestrian detection, full-speed adaptive cruise control and lane tracing assist. Remote Park and a Traffic Jam Assist mode for controlled-access highways below 25 mph are optional, and the latter needs a Drive Connect trial or subscription.
How it stacks up on price
Before delivery, the RZ's $46,100 base is about $8,200 above the $37,900 base Kia EV6 we covered earlier this month. That is the usual luxury premium, but it is also a meaningful bump in equipment: the RZ's base price already includes heated and ventilated seats, a heated wheel and a 14-inch screen. Sources differ slightly on some base-trim figures, so we have used the Lexus press release throughout.
Pricing for the coming model year is set, but range certification and the first drives will decide whether the 301-mile 350e is the sensible pick or whether buyers pay up for the 450e's extra power at a 41-mile cost.
