Lexus goes electric: the RZ450e now available for booking in Malaysia

Lexus Malaysia has finally opened orders for their highly anticipated electric vehicle, the RZ450e. This luxury SUV was first showcased in Malaysia earlier this year at the Toyota Beyond Zero event, and after months of waiting, potential owners can now secure their spot.

Luxury Electric Powerhouse

The Lexus RZ450e boasts a powerful dual-motor AWD powertrain, offering a combined output of 313 PS. This translates to a thrilling 0-100 km/h acceleration in just 5.3 seconds, with a top speed electronically limited to 160 km/h.

Impressive Range and Charging Options

Equipped with a 71.4 kWh lithium-ion battery, the RZ450e promises a WLTP-rated driving range of up to 440 km on a single charge. When it's time to top up, the SUV offers DC fast charging at up to 150 kW via a CCS2 connection, achieving an 0-80% charge in just 30 minutes. For those with home charging options, AC charging up to 11 kW is available through a Type 2 connection, allowing for a full recharge in approximately 6.5 hours.

Luxury Trim and Potential for More

Lexus Malaysia has confirmed that the initial offering will be the Luxury trim, priced from RM429,888 on-the-road without insurance. This price point positions the RZ450e as a strong contender in the luxury electric SUV segment. With the success of this initial launch, we can expect Lexus Malaysia to potentially introduce additional trims in the future, catering to a wider range of preferences.
