Why it stands out

The 2023 Lexus RZ stands out as Lexus’s first dedicated battery-electric vehicle, marking a significant step for a brand that had already been active in electrification but had taken its time arriving at a fully electric model. That makes the RZ notable not just as another EV, but as a milestone for Lexus itself. It also launches with several innovative, Lexus-first features, which helps give it a sense of freshness beyond its powertrain.

What makes the 2023 Lexus RZ especially appealing is the way it pairs that new EV identity with an easy driving experience and standard all-wheel drive. Those traits should make it approachable for buyers who want the benefits of an electric vehicle without giving up the confidence of AWD. The RZ is also built at Lexus’s Motomachi, Japan facility, adding to its sense of craftsmanship and brand significance.

There are a few drawbacks to note. The most obvious is the lack of a glove compartment, which is an unusual omission in a vehicle meant to serve as a practical daily driver. Even so, the 2023 Lexus RZ’s combination of first-time EV status, standard all-wheel drive, and distinctive features makes it a meaningful and appealing entry in Lexus’s lineup.
