Find the 2026 Lexus RZ in Southfield, MI

Electric luxury is no longer just a concept. It’s here, it’s refined, and it’s available now in the form of the 2026 Lexus RZ. Offered in six distinct trims – 350e, 350e Premium, 450e, 450e Premium, 450e Luxury, and 550e F SPORT – the RZ lineup delivers intuitive power, polished comfort, and Lexus-caliber performance.
