The Lexus RZ lineup might soon change — or expand — with new models if trademarks are an indication of Lexus’ future plans. The existing RZ 300e and RZ 450e could be joined by several new models: RZ 350e, RZ 500e, RZ 550e, and even RZ F.
While it’s common for automakers to trademark models names they don’t ultimately use for production, the prospect of higher performance RZ500e or RZ550e models already has us excited for more power and range in Lexus’ first dedicated BEV.
Lexus has been outspoken about advances in BEV technology, so is it possible that the RZ 300e and RZ 450e might be replaced with newer models instead of joined by new ones? Yes. We won’t know until Lexus makes an official announcement, but it’s plausible that the RZ 300e could be replaced by the RZ 350e, and the RZ 450e could be replaced by an RZ 500e or RZ 550e.
Lexus’ current naming conventions for “500” and “550” models ranges from 349 to 472 horsepower, so we’ll refrain from making guesses about what specs for these new RZs could be like. There’s also the possibility that power ratings for internal combustion, hybrid, and EV models could lead to different naming conventions, so we just won’t know until Lexus shares official information.
