Thanks to a new $10,000 bonus offer introduced this month, the cheapest Lexus you can currently lease is now the 2025 electric RZ. Is it worth checking out?
The cheapest Lexus you can lease is the 2025 RZ
Lexus slashed over $10,000 off the price of the 2025 RZ compared to the 2024MY by introducing a new entry-level 300e FWD trim.
Following the launch of a new promotion this June, Lexus is offering up to $11,500 off 2025 RZ models. The RZ is now the cheapest Lexus vehicle you can lease, starting at $399 for 36 months. With $1,999 due at signing, you’ll end up with an effective monthly cost of $455. Not too bad for a nearly $45,000 luxury electric SUV.
The offer is for the 2025 Lexus RZ 300e FWD with an MSRP of $44,314. In comparison, the 2025 Lexus UX 300h FWD Hybrid, with an MSRP of $39,615, is listed at $349 for 36 months.
With $3,999 due at signing, the monthly effective cost is $460, or $5 more than the RZ. If you’re looking for a higher trim, the RZ 450e is available with up to $11,500 in lease cash.
The entry-level 2025 Lexus RZ 300e FWD model offers a range of up to 266 miles, while the AWD 450e variants achieve a range of up to 220 miles.
Inside, the electric SUV features a standard 14″ infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto support. With 37.52″ of rear legroom, the electric SUV has nearly as much second row space as a Ford Explorer (39″).
Although it’s a good deal compared to other Lexus vehicles, other luxury electric SUVs from Acura, Cadillac, and Genesis may still offer better value.
Acura is currently offering nearly $30,000 in lease cash on 2024 ZDX models in select states, with leases starting as low as $299 per month for 24 months. With $2,999 due at signing, the effective monthly rate is only $423. The ZDX offers up to 313 miles of range and more rear legroom (39.4″).
Cadillac’s new entry-level electric SUV, the 2025 Optiq, with an MSRP of $54,390, is listed for lease at just $409 for 24 months. However, it does include a $4,909 due at signing, resulting in an effective monthly rate of $614. The Optiq has up to 302 miles of range and 37.8″ of rear legroom.
