What is the real-world range of the 2025 Lexus RZ in Canadian winter conditions?
The 2025 Lexus RZ 450e is rated at 354 km of WLTP range with its 71.4 kWh battery. In real Canadian winter conditions (-10 °C to -20 °C), owners report effective range of 230 to 260 km - a 30-35% reduction typical of electric vehicles in winter. Lexus offers an optional bi-directional heat pump that pre-conditions the battery and cabin while limiting range loss to approximately 20% below -10 °C. For typical suburban commutes (60-100 km round trip), the RZ 450e remains more than adequate even in winter. DC fast charging (150 kW max) allows charging from 10% to 80% in approximately 30 minutes.
