Lexus is turning up the tech for its electric SUV. The refreshed Lexus RZ is officially coming to the Danish market early next year, with a lower-than-expected starting price, a larger battery, extended range and a string of new features — including an aircraft-style steering yoke and, for the first time in a Lexus EV, a virtual manual gearbox.

More range, more efficiency
The updated RZ now houses a 77 kWh battery pack, delivering up to 559 km WLTP of range. Lexus has also improved software and thermal management, adding features such as a battery preheater and infrared cabin heating to improve cold-weather performance.
Pricing starts at 399,500 DKK
The entry-level RZ 350e Executive features front-wheel drive, 224 hp and a generous standard equipment list: 18-inch alloy wheels, a 14-inch touchscreen, navigation, a 360-degree camera system, 22 kW AC charging and the full Lexus Safety System+.
Price: 399,500 DKK
Luxury and performance variants
The RZ 350e Luxury adds 20-inch wheels, a head-up display, a digital rear-view mirror, ventilated seats and a digital key.
Price: 439,500 DKK
The RZ 500e introduces Lexus’ DIRECT4 all-wheel-drive system with a combined output of 380 hp, offering improved traction and performance.
Flagship: 408 hp and a manual-feeling EV
At the top of the range, the RZ 550e F SPORT delivers 408 hp, sharper aerodynamics and a sportier interior — plus an 8-speed virtual manual transmission. Gear changes are executed using paddles on the steering wheel and supported by simulated engine sound, a virtual rev limiter and visual feedback in the instrument cluster. The system aims to provide a more mechanical, engaging driving experience without changing the fundamental nature of an EV.
