2026 Lexus RZ Pricing Comes With Good and Bad News
The Lexus RZ, which receives a substantial update for 2026, is now on sale at Canadian dealerships. While the price range remains largely unchanged from 2025, there are key differences we need to tell you about.
First, a new FWD model called the RZ 350e Signature is now available starting at an all-inclusive price of $63,390, which is virtually identical to the outgoing AWD-equipped RZ. This single-motor RZ delivers a modest 224 horsepower in exchange for up to 486 km of range—best in the lineup.

Standard features include 18-inch wheels, a 14-inch touchscreen, ambient lighting, a heated steering wheel with power adjustment, heated and ventilated front seats upholstered in NuLuxe synthetic leather, as well as the Lexus Safety System+ 3.0 suite of driver assistance features.
The new 76.96kWh lithium-ion battery benefits from an improved cooling system. Under ideal conditions, when using DC fast charging, the 2026 RZ can go from 10-80% in about 30 minutes, according to Lexus. Furthermore, the addition of an NACS port allows for direct access to Tesla Superchargers. An 11kW onboard charger also speeds up AC charging.
AWD models benefit from a newly refined version of Lexus' DIRECT4 system, starting with the RZ 450e AWD Signature priced at $70,390 all-inclusive. That's an increase of approximately $7,000 compared to its 2025 equivalent. Output remains at 308 horsepower, but range is now 420 km, a considerable improvement. Content has also been enhanced.
The Luxury package, which raises the price by $6,000, adds a fixed panoramic glass roof, power liftgate, 20-inch wheels, Drive Connect navigation, Parking Support Brake with object, vehicle and pedestrian detection, panoramic view monitor, digital rearview mirror and digital key. The drive range decreases slightly to 418 km.
Alternatively, the same RZ 450e AWD model is available with an Executive package for a total of $86,360. It includes a Dynamic Sky panoramic roof with dimming feature, Ultrasuede upholstery, heated rear seats, head-up display, 13-speaker Mark Levinson audio system and advanced parking system, among other extras.
Last but not least, a major new addition for 2026 is the top-of-the-line RZ 550e F SPORT AWD, priced at $81,390. This performance-focused model delivers a total of 408 horsepower, but that comes at the expense of range, which drops to 366 km.
The exclusive F SPORT wheels aren't any larger (20 inches), but the suspension is specially tuned, and an electronic manual mode allows for virtual gear changes using steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters, just like in a gas-powered SUV. The RZ 550e can even simulate engine and exhaust sounds. Styling is sportier, while the interior features black Ultrasuede trim with blue stitching and several other distinctive touches.
