The New Lexus RZ 300e at Lexus Santa Monica in Santa Monica
The new Lexus RZ 300e at Lexus Santa Monica represents the company's firm commitment to the electric vehicle market. This luxury SUV stands out from Lexus's conventional lineup as the first truly all-electric vehicle design. Lexus prides itself on responsive vehicles, but the RZ 300e has a significant advantage over its gas-powered siblings with instant torque, quick acceleration, and nearly silent performance while still maintaining the brand's signature luxury and refinement for Santa Monica drivers.
Trim Levels
The RZ 300e Premium is the model's base trim, and it comes with 18-inch alloy wheels, a 10-speaker audio system, ambient lighting, a standard safety package, and an estimated range of up to 266 miles.
The RZ 300e Luxury represents significant upgrades in a range of categories, such as technology and interior comfort. It offers 20-inch wheels with two finishes, machined or black. Its driving range is estimated at around 224 miles, it has a Mark Levinson 13-speaker audio system, and it adds real wood accents to the already luxurious cabin fittings for Culver City and Venice, CA drivers.
Performance
The RZ 300e's single electric motor delivers 201 horsepower and 196 pound-feet of torque. Mounted on the front axle, it offers superior power to the front wheels, enabling an acceleration rate of zero to 60 in just over seven seconds. The motor is powered by a 71.4-kWh lithium-ion battery array that is housed under the floor of the RZ300e. With its weight adding to the vehicle's already low center of gravity, it increases stability and improves handling. The RZ300e has a range of up to 266 miles, depending on wheel size. Its fast charging capability allows returning to full power with impressive speed at compatible charging stations. An optional four-wheel drive system balances power between the front and rear wheels, increasing grip and handling in a range of road conditions. Regenerative braking helps to extend the RZ300e's driving range.
Interior and Exterior
The clean lines of the interior showcase the fine materials used to fashion the seating and surfaces. Heated and ventilated seats conform and cushion, leaving the driver and passengers refreshed after a long journey around Manhattan Beach. Ambient lighting creates a welcoming ambiance and practical features like a 60-40 rear seat split help to extend the generous 24 cubic feet of cargo space to 56 cubic feet. Available features like a wireless charging pad, Ultrasuede upholstery, and a heated steering wheel increase the already luxurious interior features.
Outside, the RZ 300e is sculpted and sleek, its profile aerodynamic and sophisticated, in keeping with Lexus design tradition. Elegant colors like Ether, Caviar, Copper Crest, or Cloudburst Gray help set the vehicle apart from others on the road. LED headlights, running lights, and taillights improve visibility for the driver while also keeping the vehicle clearly visible to other drivers.
Safety and Technology
The Lexus Safety System+ 3.0 offers an exemplary range of safety features that improve the driving experience while aiming to avoid common causes of collisions. This suite of features includes pedestrian, motorcycle and intersection detection capabilities, able to warn the driver when it senses that an impact is possible. It also includes steering assist in the event the vehicle unexpectedly changes lanes, dynamic cruise control that slows itself on curves, road sign assist, intelligent high beams, blind spot monitor and many other helpful features. Optional upgrades include a 360-degree panoramic view for parking and maneuvering and a safe exit assist that sounds a warning if a door is opened when a pedestrian or bicycle is approaching.
Technology in the RZ 300e keeps pace with the latest in vehicle developments, offering drivers a 14-inch touchscreen with Lexus's proprietary multimedia interface. It features easy syncing via Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, a cloud-based navigation system, support for using a smartphone to unlock the doors and access other features, a voice assistant, and a heads-up display.
