RZ 450e (MY23-25)

The Lexus RZ 450e (MY23-25) is a 5-seat SUV with all-wheel drive, sold new from 2023 to 2025, when it cost £55,595 in the UK, and now only available second-hand. It accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in 5.6 seconds, quicker than 62% of the electric cars on sale in the UK. Its estimated real-world range is 217 miles (350 km) in a mix of town, country and motorway driving. That is longer than 32% of the 471 electric cars on sale in the UK, and 179th of 242 SUVs.

It uses around 3.4 mi/kWh (183 Wh/km), about the same as the typical EV on sale (3.5 mi/kWh). The usable battery holds 64 kWh and on a rapid charger it averages 85 kW between 10% and 80%. With one 15-minute charging stop, it can cover an estimated 232 miles (373 km) at motorway speeds.

It has a heat pump, which helps preserve range in cold weather, and it does not support vehicle-to-load (V2L). The battery uses NCM chemistry, which stores more energy for its weight than LFP.

Second-hand, a 2023 example is estimated at £21,100–£23,300 and a 2025 one at £31,700–£36,100, based on typical EV depreciation. After typical battery wear, a 2023 car should still manage about 204 miles of real-world range. These are estimates, not valuations: check real prices before you buy.
