What the 2027 Lexus RZ changes for Orange County buyers at Tustin Lexus

Lexus expects the 2027 RZ to arrive at dealerships early next year, with a starting MSRP of $47,495 for the RZ 350e (Lexus USA Newsroom, 2026). The lineup includes a 550e F SPORT AWD, a NACS charging port and a 14.0-inch touchscreen. These are the points to weigh before a test drive in Tustin.

Range depends on trim and wheel size. The EPA rated the 2026 RZ 350e FWD at 301 miles on 18-inch wheels, the 2026 RZ 450e AWD at 264 miles on 18-inch wheels and the 2026 RZ 550e AWD at 229 miles (fueleconomy.gov, 2026). Read each figure with its wheel size, because it holds for that setup.

What does each 2027 Lexus RZ trim offer, and who is it for?

The RZ comes with three powertrains across six trims. On Lexus’s 2026 figures, the RZ 550e F SPORT AWD makes the most power at 402 total system horsepower, and EPA rated the 2026 RZ trims for range and efficiency (CarWhere, 2026).

The RZ 350e FWD is the base trim, with a $47,495 starting MSRP. It has the highest range and efficiency of the three, so it suits a buyer who wants the most distance from each charge.

The RZ 450e AWD adds DIRECT 4 all-wheel drive and, on Lexus’s 2026 figures, 308 total system horsepower. A buyer who wants more power and all-wheel drive in one trim starts here.

The RZ 550e F SPORT AWD is the performance trim, with DIRECT 4 all-wheel drive. It has the lowest range of the three, rated by the EPA at 229 miles for 2026. A buyer who puts acceleration first should weigh that range trade-off before choosing it.

How does the 2027 Lexus RZ charge, by Lexus’s published figures?

Lexus says the 2027 RZ can charge from 10% to 80% in around 30 minutes with DC fast charging, under ideal conditions (Lexus USA Newsroom, 2026). That is the fast-charging figure, and it applies only at a DC fast charger under the conditions Lexus names.

The 2027 RZ has a North American Charging System (NACS) port (SAE J3400) on the passenger’s side of the vehicle. For AC charging, the onboard charger is rated at 11 kW for Level 1 and Level 2. That rate sets how quickly the car takes AC power, so it matters more for daily charging than the 30-minute fast-charge figure.

What technology and safety features come with the 2027 Lexus RZ?

The 2027 RZ comes standard with Lexus Safety System+ 3.0 and a 14.0-inch Lexus Interface touchscreen (Lexus USA Newsroom, 2026). The NHTSA overall crash rating for the 2027 RZ 450e is 5 out of 5 stars (FreeVIN, 2027).

Lexus Safety System+ 3.0 includes Automatic High Beams, Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection, Full-Speed Dynamic Radar Cruise Control, Lane Tracing Assist, Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist, Road Sign Assist and Proactive Driving Assist. The touchscreen gives the driver and front-seat passenger controls and information on one display.

The RZ supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Through a wired or wireless connection, you can use many of your favorite phone apps and controls on the car’s screen.

What warranty covers a new 2027 Lexus RZ?

Lexus’s 2026 RZ terms give a basic warranty of 48 months or 50,000 miles and a powertrain warranty of 72 months or 70,000 miles, whichever comes first. Corrosion coverage runs 72 months with no mileage limit. Roadside assistance runs 48 months from the in-service date, also with no mileage limit (Lexus, 2026). These terms apply to the whole RZ model line, not to one trim.

Because the basic term ends at 50,000 miles, a buyer who drives more should check that limit first. The powertrain term reaches further, so it covers more of the car’s life.
