What Lexus RZ do most buyers choose?

The Lexus RZ years with the most listings are 2024, 2023, and 2025.

Higher-volume model years usually give you more shopping choice, which can make it easier to compare prices, colors, and equipment. They also tend to be the years you see most often on dealer lots, so they’re often the easiest place to start.

What is the Lexus RZ's resale value?

The table shows that both model years have moved lower over the past year, which can work in your favor if you’re shopping used. The changes are relatively modest, so neither year has seen a dramatic swing in value. That makes the pricing picture fairly stable, with recent-model RZs still sitting in a similar range.

The 2024 and 2023 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.
