The all-electric 2026 Lexus RZ 550e F Sport AWD comes with quite the bag of tricks. That mouthful means this is the most powerful RZ model Lexus makes.
Though most would simply call this paint color gray, Lexus labels it “Wind.” Inside, there’s black Ultrasuede trim with blue stitching. It’s a handsome interior befitting the luxury brand. Front seats are supportive and nicely bolstered, and the rear seat is spacious.
Now to those tricks: this has what’s called a Dynamic Sky Panorama Glass Roof, which turns from opaque to clear with the press of a button.
My kids said they loved it, before reminding me it’s my job to review cars, not theirs. Thanks for that.
The interior door panels have a soft, flickering light projected onto them. Lexus says: “the faintly changing shadow patterns evoke the passage of time.” Woah, deep. I was still wrapping my head around Wind as a color.
When it comes to driving, you can actually mimic the operation of a paddle-shifted manual transmission. Lexus even provides you with simulated engine and exhaust sounds inside. Outside of the manual mode, the ride is quick and comfortable, and this F Sport likes to get pushed a little in corners, too.
While all of that is fun, when it comes to range, you need to temper your expectations.
Lexus says that even with a new lithium-ion battery design, the RZ 550e F SPORT AWD sees a manufacturer-estimated driving range of approximately 229 miles, when equipped with 20-inch tires and charged under ideal conditions. Other, less powerful versions can go farther on a charge.
This exact one comes to $62,035, after shipping.
