Facelifted 2026 Lexus RZ gets upgraded convenience features

Lexus has announced that its 2026 RZ model is now available for sale in various markets including the U.S.A and Canada, and will offer more power, efficiency, and dynamic performance, in addition to increased range and shortened charging times.

To make charging even simpler, 2026 model year BEVs will have Plug and Charge, which can initiate charging by simply plugging in after a one-time enrolment setup through the Lexus app.

Lexus has said that RZ owners will be able to access more than 25,000 charging plugs in North America via the Tesla Supercharger Network

And drivers of the 2023-25 Lexus RZ models will also benefit from certain initiatives: Lexus has said that these group of people will receive a letter directing them to contact their dealer to receive one complimentary NACS charging adapter. Like all Lexus Genuine Accessories, these adapters meet Lexus’ standards for durability and quality and are the only adapter units that come with the assurance of Lexus warranty coverage.

To further complement the BEV ecosystem, Lexus recently introduced support for Apple Maps EV Routing via Apple CarPlay. Available for all 2023 and newer Lexus RZ models, Apple Maps can now access real-time vehicle information to efficiently navigate iPhone users to compatible chargers on the way to their destinations, taking into account factors like battery performance and elevation changes.
