2027 Lexus RZ Starts at $47,495, Tops Out at 301 Miles
Lexus has priced the 2027 RZ electric SUV from $47,495 in the United States, including a $1,395 delivery, processing and handling charge. The lineup spans three powertrains and six configurations, with manufacturer-estimated range reaching 301 miles on the front-wheel-drive RZ 350e.
The October 26 announcement puts firm prices and U.S. availability around a model family that ranges from an efficiency-focused 221-horsepower version to a 402-hp F SPORT capable of a claimed 4.1-second run to 60 mph. Lexus says the 2027 RZ will begin arriving at dealerships in early 2027.
2027 Lexus RZ prices
The RZ 350e starts at $47,495, while the RZ 350e Premium costs $49,970. Moving to all-wheel drive, the RZ 450e AWD starts at $50,995, the Premium AWD at $53,470 and the Luxury AWD at $58,495. The performance-focused RZ 550e F SPORT AWD is priced at $58,770.
Every figure above includes Lexus’s $1,395 destination charge but excludes taxes, registration, dealer-installed equipment and options. Actual transaction prices can therefore differ. Lexus assembles the RZ at its Motomachi plant in Japan.
Range, batteries and charging
Lexus lists a 74.69-kWh battery for the RZ 350e and RZ 450e, and a 76.96-kWh battery for the RZ 550e F SPORT. Those are the official figures in the company’s U.S. announcement; some early secondary reports list different capacities.
With 18-inch wheels, the front-drive RZ 350e carries a manufacturer-estimated 301-mile range. The all-wheel-drive RZ 450e is estimated at 260 miles with 18-inch wheels, while the more powerful RZ 550e F SPORT is estimated at 229 miles with 20-inch wheels. These are manufacturer estimates, not independently verified Chiefs Review test results, and real-world range will vary with temperature, speed, wheel choice and charging habits.
All three versions have a passenger-side North American Charging System port using the SAE J3400 standard. Lexus says a DC fast-charge session can move the battery from 10% to 80% in about 30 minutes under ideal conditions. The release does not state a maximum DC charging rate, so the 30-minute claim should not be read as a guarantee for every charger or weather condition.
The RZ also supports Level 1 and Level 2 AC charging and carries an 11-kW onboard AC charger. Lexus’s NACS move follows a wider rollout across the brand: the 2027 Lexus NX plug-in hybrid also adds NACS fast charging, though its battery size and use case differ substantially from the all-electric RZ.
Three powertrains, including a 402-hp F SPORT
The RZ 350e uses a single front motor and produces 221 total system horsepower. The RZ 450e adds a rear motor, DIRECT4 all-wheel drive and 308 total system horsepower. Lexus says DIRECT4 can vary front-to-rear drive distribution according to acceleration, cornering and vehicle conditions.
At the top of the range, the RZ 550e F SPORT combines 402 horsepower with DIRECT4 all-wheel drive. Lexus claims it is the quickest RZ yet, reaching 60 mph in 4.1 seconds. That acceleration figure is manufacturer-supplied and has not been independently tested by Chiefs Review.
The 550e also introduces M Mode, an electronic system that uses steering-wheel paddles to simulate eight gear ratios. It changes power delivery and adds simulated engine and exhaust sounds, but the RZ remains a single-speed electric vehicle mechanically; there is no conventional eight-speed transmission.
Cabin and standard equipment
Every 2027 RZ includes a 14-inch Lexus Interface touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, heated and ventilated front seats and a heated steering wheel. NuLuxe upholstery is standard, while Luxury and F SPORT grades move to Ultrasuede trim. An available panoramic glass roof can vary its tint electronically.
The pricing arrives as U.S. EV sales continue to shift between brands and segments. Chiefs Review recently examined Rivian’s position in corrected third-quarter EV estimates; the RZ competes in a different luxury-SUV slice, but the broader context shows why confirmed range and transaction-ready pricing matter more than concept specifications.
The bottom line
The 2027 RZ lineup gives buyers a clear tradeoff. The $47,495 RZ 350e offers the lowest price and longest claimed range, the RZ 450e adds all-wheel drive and more power, and the $58,770 RZ 550e F SPORT prioritizes acceleration and driver theater at the cost of range. EPA-certified ratings, real-world charging performance and final dealer inventories will be the important next checks when vehicles reach showrooms.
