RZ in 2026 — what's new

Verdict

The RZ450e pairs a 71.4 kWh battery with 308 hp, AWD and a 440 km claimed range, but its Malaysian price needs close scrutiny. It costs RM4,088 more than the BMW iX, which starts at RM425,800, while the Volvo EX90 and Hyundai Ioniq 5 N start at RM442,888 and RM443,888. With only one local specification, the RZ asks buyers to accept its fixed formula.
