FEATURES | EXTERIOR 01. ‘SEAMLESS E-MOTION’ DESIGN Inspired by the “Seamless E-motion” design concept, the front clearly positions the RZ 450e as an all-electric vehicle. With no conventional engine, the bonnet has been lowered and the air intakes reduced. The bold Lexus signature spindle shape is applied three-dimensionally to the front of the vehicle, resulting in a new, simple form, which captures technological evolution, function and performance. 05. HIGH-TECH REAR LIGHT, NEW LEXUS REAR BADGE The RZ 450e’s futuristic character is underlined by its sophisticated high-tech rear look. The split roof spoiler extends the design rearwards and contributes to the car’s stable performance. The elongated LED light bar across the width of the car is a hallmark of Lexus Electrified design. Here it has a sharp, minimalist look to give the impression of simplicity and precision, reinforced by the distinctive new Lexus badge. 02. COLOUR DESIGN The RZ’s look is accentuated by finishing what would usually be the grille area in the car’s body colour and blacking out the area to each side. Enhanced design flexibility has also allowed more muscular front wings to be produced. The effect is heightened by an optional new bi-tone bodywork which extends the contrasting black area from the roof to the bonnet. 03. POWERFUL SILHOUETTE, WIDE STANCE The car’s flowing side profile peaks towards the rear, creating a powerful silhouette, while the sharp frontal design generates a sense of power and movement. From behind, the rear section affirms the car’s SUV qualities of comfortable space and strong driving capability. The long, 2,850 mm wheelbase adds to the impact, expressing the low centre of gravity and excellent balance. The wheels – standard 18” or 20” for higher grades – are placed at the corners of the car. 06. HEAT-SHIELDING, DIMMABLE PANORAMIC ROOF Available as an option, the futuristic panoramic roof increases the feeling of space and light in the cabin. Its glass has a coating that reflects infra- red radiation and reduces heat on sunny days, while helping keep warmth inside the cabin in cold weather. Doing away with the roller shade saves weight which improves handling, and also allows for the widest panoramic roof in any Lexus. 07. E-LATCH The RZ 450e is equipped with our new e-Latch technology, a smooth, one-touch electronic door release system. Its operation is linked to the car’s Blind Spot Monitor to provide Safe Exit Assist, which cancels the door opening if vehicles or cyclists are detected approaching from the rear. This innovation is expected to help prevent 95% of door opening accidents. 04. QUADRUPLE LED HEADLIGHTS The headlights are unified with the spindle body. Sleek and ultra-slim, they add extra emphasis to the Lexus L-motif of the daytime running lights, while the principal headlight lamps and turn indicators are less prominent. 26 RZ
