The Lexus RZ Outdoor concept debuts at Auto Shanghai as a more rugged take on the brand’s electric SUV. While just a one-off, the company wants it to show what’s possible when modifying the model for off-road adventures.<\/p>\n

The Outdoor Concept starts with a Lexus RZ450e. The model wears lots of additional lighting, including a bar in the lower fascia, KC lamps on the outer edges of the nose, and an LED strip above the windshield. The hood and hatchback have a gloss-black finish. Most of the body is a sandy beige color that Lexus calls Regolith, and the lower portion is satin black. The rear has a bike carrier.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Outdoor Concept rides on eight-spoke black wheels with chunky\u00a0265\/60R18 BFGoodrich all-terrain tires. Lexus also notes that the ride height has a 0.79-inch (20-millimeter) lift.<\/p>\n

A few elements are less obvious. There are custom skid plates underneath the front and rear. The window moldings are black stainless steel.<\/p>\n

The RZ450e has two electric motors<\/a> making a total output of 308 horsepower and 321 pound-feet of torque. This lets it reach 60 miles per hour in 5.0 seconds. The top speed has an electronic limit of 99 miles per hour.<\/p>\n

The Lexus has a 71.4-kilowatt-hour battery pack that provides a maximum 220-mile range. This distance falls to 196 miles with the available 20-inch wheels<\/a>. The system can DC fast-charge at 150 kilowatts. The AC charger for plugging in at home is 6.6 kW.<\/p>\n

In the United States, the 2023 RZ450e starts at\u00a0$59,650 after the destination fee<\/a>. The nicer Luxury trim takes the price to $65,150. If you want every option and accessory for the EV, then the cost tops out at\u00a0$72,209.<\/p>\n

Lexus already showed off the opposite of the\u00a0Outdoor Concept by premiering the\u00a0RZ Sport Concept at the\u00a0Tokyo Auto Salon<\/a>. Its body had fender flares, revised bumpers, and a carbon-fiber spoiler. The\u00a0suspension was 1.37 inches (35 millimeters) lower than stock. Instead of the standard 107-hp (80-kW) electric motor at the rear, this one received a 201-hp (150-kW) unit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
