2026 Lexus RZ review

Lexus RZ: everyday electric done right. Illustrative review

9.4/10 OffLot expert score

The 2026 Lexus RZ sits near the top of its class. Easy to see out of and park; standard driver-assist suite. Engine gets loud under hard acceleration and price climbs fast with options, so test the trim you'd actually buy. Starting around $55,000, it lines up with most direct rivals.

Happy after a year

We cross-shopped three others and this won on cargo room. the touchscreen climate controls is the trade-off.

★★★★★Dwayne M. · Houston, TX · 32 months owned
Would buy again

Replaced an older Lexus with this one. Big step up in cargo room; I'd like a little more power from the base engine.

Happy after a year

The cargo room is the standout. My only gripe is the touchscreen climate controls, which I knew going in.
