Car Buyer's Guide

Overview

The Lexus RZ is a fully electric compact executive SUV sold in Malaysia as the RZ450e. It suits buyers after a five-seat premium EV SUV with Lexus badging, AWD and a quoted 440 km range, rather than a lower-priced mainstream electric SUV. The single Malaysian variant is priced from RM429,888.

RZ in 2026 — what's new

For 2026, the Malaysian RZ line-up carries on unchanged from the 2024-launched RZ450e. The latest RZ updates sit outside that local range: the 2025 RZ added a 550e F Sport, steer-by-wire, simulated manual shifts and up to 575 km of EV range, while the RZ600e F Sport Performance brings 426 PS, a 20 mm lower set-up and 20-inch brakes. In Malaysia, the current range remains the RZ450e only.

Verdict

The RZ is an easy car to understand and a harder one to justify purely by price. It costs more than the BMW iX from RM425,800, sits just under the Porsche Macan Electric from RM430,000, and below the Volvo EX90 from RM442,888. It gets AWD, a 71.4 kWh battery and a 440 km range; its weakness is simple: many electric SUVs cost far less.
