Lexus electric cars in 2025 - Where premium meets quiet innovation

Lexus has long been known for refinement, reliability, and whisper-quiet cabins. With its electric lineup expanding in 2025, the brand now adds zero-emission power to its signature blend of comfort and sophistication. Unlike some premium competitors that lean heavily into performance, Lexus takes a more balanced path - prioritizing smoothness, luxury, and efficiency.

As of mid-2025, Lexus offers three fully electric models: the compact UX 300e, the sleek RZ 450e crossover, and the recently introduced LF-ZC concept, expected to go into production by 2026. Together, they show the brand’s commitment to a carbon-neutral future, with a distinctly Lexus flavor.

A closer look at the Lexus UX 300e - The quiet urban luxury EV

Originally launched in 2020 and significantly updated since, the UX 300e is Lexus’s first-ever fully electric vehicle. Compact and city-focused, it provides a quiet, premium driving experience wrapped in a stylish urban-friendly package.

What to expect:

• Battery: 72.8 kWh usable in the latest version
• Range: up to 450 km (WLTP)
• Drive: front-wheel drive, tuned for smoothness
• Interior: high-quality materials, silent cabin, intuitive infotainment

It’s ideal for those living in or near cities who want a comfortable EV without going overboard on size or power. Think of it as a luxury commuter car that doesn’t make a big fuss.

Lexus RZ 450e - The brand’s flagship electric crossover

With the RZ, Lexus dives deeper into the EV world. Built on a dedicated electric platform (shared with Toyota’s bZ4X), the RZ 450e is larger, more powerful, and loaded with tech. It’s designed as a real alternative to premium crossovers from Audi, BMW, or Mercedes - but with Lexus’s signature softness and subtlety.

Standout features:

• Dual motor all-wheel drive (DIRECT4 system)
• Power: up to 313 hp
• Range: around 435 km (WLTP)
• Steering: optional steer-by-wire and yoke-style wheel
• Interior: panoramic roof with dimming glass, ambient lighting, driver-focused layout

The RZ is the most advanced Lexus EV to date, and while it doesn’t chase headline-grabbing speed figures, it offers a serene and refined EV experience.

The road ahead - Lexus LF-ZC and what’s coming next

Looking further into the future, Lexus has revealed the LF-ZC (Lexus Future Zero-emission Catalyst), a concept vehicle that previews the next generation of Lexus EVs. Slated for production in 2026, the LF-ZC introduces a more emotional design language, advanced AI integration, and dramatically increased range.

Early indicators:

• Range target: over 700 km with new battery tech
• Software-defined cabin with AI driving assistant
• Built on Toyota’s upcoming next-gen EV platform

While still a concept, the LF-ZC shows that Lexus intends to become a serious player in the premium electric segment - not just with luxury, but with innovation and style.

Final thoughts - Lexus EVs aren’t loud, but they speak volumes

Lexus’s approach to electrification reflects the brand’s personality: quiet confidence. Rather than shouting about numbers, it focuses on what matters most to its loyal customers - ride quality, reliability, comfort, and thoughtful details. In 2025, the UX and RZ offer real-world electric luxury, and the LF-ZC hints at something bolder on the horizon.

For drivers who want an electric car that feels like a Lexus - smooth, calming, and elegant - the current lineup does exactly that.
