The Lexus RZ is now more sophisticated in design and equipment with the new e-Premium Design trim level

Lexus continues to update its model range, and this time it is the turn of another fully electric model, the RZ, a compact SUV that aims to attract even more attention from potential buyers with a new trim level called e-Premium, with which they hope to appeal to buyers interested in avant-garde design together with functional and technological equipment.

The distinctive and unmistakable design of the Lexus RZ is reinforced in the new e-Premium trim with the four body colours available: Graphite Black, Sonic Iridium, Berlin Grey and Santorini White. Whichever of these finishes we choose will be combined with bicolour 20-inch alloy wheels, helping to reinforce the character and presence of this model.

If we choose the e-Premium trim for our Lexus RZ, we will find in the interior the Tahara synthetic leather upholstery in hazelnut colour, which has been given micro-perforations that help the materials breathe and preserve the elasticity of the leather. The front seats, together with this upholstery, are characterised by their great comfort and also by being heated for both driver and passenger, complemented by electric adjustment in up to 8 directions and lumbar inflation. Optionally, if the Santorini White exterior colour has been chosen, Lexus will allow the hazelnut leather to be changed to dark grey.

In addition to all this, the Lexus RZ with the e-Premium trim will include as standard equipment such as the following:

• Lexus radiant heating system
• Dual-zone climate control with nanoe-X air purification technology
• Lexus Pro Multimedia System with 14-inch touchscreen
• Integrated navigation
• Wireless connectivity via Apple CarPlay
• Wired connectivity for Android Auto
• Hands-free access Smart Entry
• Electric tailgate with hands-free function
• Lexus Safety System+ 3.0 including systems such as:
  • Pre-collision Safety System
  • Emergency Assist Steering
  • Adaptive Cruise Control
  • Proactive Steering Assist
• Driver Monitoring
• e-Latch soft electronic door opening
• Safe Exit Assist

It should be noted that the e-Premium trim will be exclusively linked to the RZ 300e version, a powertrain presented last year as the entry point to the range. It uses a front-axle motor delivering 150 kW (204 CV) and a torque of 266 Nm, with which it accelerates to 100 km/h in 8.0 seconds. Alongside this electric system is the lithium-ion battery with a 71.4 kWh capacity, thanks to which it achieves a maximum range of 480 kilometres according to the WLTP test cycle.

The Lexus RZ 300 e-Premium is already on sale at Spanish dealerships with a price starting from 52,900 euros, with deliveries announced for future owners from June onwards.
