Lexus RZ

Lexus Malaysia has opened its order books for the Lexus RZ 450e, the first battery EV (BEV) for the Lexus brand in Malaysia. The 5-seater all-wheel drive BEV is priced from RM 429,888, excluding insurance. The model is imported from Japan. The electric version of the Lexus RX, the Lexus RZ is powered by a 71.4 kWh battery, driven by a 230 kW (313 PS) front-biased, Direct4 dual-motor setup, with a 150 kW motor on the front axle, and an 80 kW motor on the rear axle.

Following its initial public preview of the Lexus RZ battery electric vehicle (BEV) at UMW Toyota Motor's Beyond Zero symposium in February this year, Lexus Malaysia has dropped a teaser that officially confirms the model's imminent launch here. Malaysia will soon join Thailand and Singapore as models in South East Asia to introduce the all-electric SUV.

Lexus will be introducing at least one new model in Malaysia next year, according to the company's latest press statement. However, that one-liner in the release doesn't tell all too much about what model it could be, though realistically it could be either the all-new 2024 Lexus LM, Lexus LBX, or the battery-electric (BEV) Lexus RZ. These are the three most plausible ones, given that the rest of the range have either not been updated yet or, not quite suitable, or no longer offered. For example

Recent TNGA platform-based Toyota and Lexus vehicles have such a high level of driver engagement and fluidity in its responses that riva

Here's the Lexus RZ, the luxury marque's first bespoke all-electric model. Thailand is the second ASEAN country to launch it (after Singapore) at the 44th Bangkok International Motor Show (BIMS 2023). Yes, the UX 300e is electric as well, but the RZ is the brand's first dedicated EV, sitting on the same e-TNGA platform that underpins the Toyota bZ4X (Specs | News)/Subaru Solterra. The goals are clear: go after the jugular of equivalent Mercedeses and BMWs. Also read: First look at the Malaysian-
