Updated Lexus RZ goes on sale priced from £53,995

Lexus has announced that the updated version of the RZ electric SUV has gone on sale, priced from £53,995.

The RZ is the firm’s most luxurious SUV and rivals the likes of the Tesla Model Y and Volvo EX40.

The updated model receives a new 77kWh battery pack with an electric motor, which gives a claimed range of up to 353 miles on a single charge.

In terms of trims, the entry-level front-wheel drive Premium includes 18-inch alloy wheels, LED headlights and a glass panoramic sunroof. Mid-level Premium Plus cars are priced from £55,595 and add a head-up display, a 360-degree surround camera and ventilated front seats. Takumi cars come in at £65,795 and boast a 13-speaker premium Mark Levinson sound system, a digital rear view mirror and ambient lighting.

There is also the addition of a new £67,795 ‘F Sport’ trim level, which boasts Lexus’ ‘Direct4’ all-wheel drive system and virtual manual gear shifts, to give the car a sportier appeal.

The updated RZ range is available to order now, with expected customer deliveries to commence from spring next year.
