Fiat works miracles in the Brazilian market, lowers the price of its 0 km hatch to R$ 69,990, reestablishes the model as the cheapest car in the country, and reignites the battle against Kwid and C3.
The decision to bring the vehicle now arises because the automotive market is experiencing strong growth in electric cars and opens new opportunities for consumers looking for performance and value for money.
This launch also marks a strategic move by the manufacturer, which has been developing electrification solutions for over 20 years and now reinforces its presence in Brazil with a product designed to compete directly with premium rivals.
Intelligent Design And Focus On Value For Money: Lexus Redefines The Internal Experience
The RZ 500e features the “inside-out” development concept, prioritizing ergonomics and movement efficiency. Thus, the cabin offers electric seats with 10 adjustment ways and memory for three profiles, in addition to sustainable materials, such as Ultra Suede upholstery with a plant-based foundation.
Moreover, the ambient lighting has exclusive projections on the doors, while the panoramic roof adopts electronic transparency control, eliminating the need for physical curtains. All of this reinforces the pursuit of value for money in a segment that values luxury with efficiency.
Intuitive Technology And Advanced Connectivity Drive The Launch
The 14-inch multimedia center follows the “driver reach zone” concept, positioning essential controls within the natural reach of the hands. This way, Lexus enhances the driver’s interaction with the dashboard while reducing distractions.
The system also allows voice commands with the classic “Hello, Lexus” and integrates the premium Mark Levinson sound system with 14 speakers. Thus, the launch reinforces the brand’s proposal to elevate the experience of electric cars with total focus on the user.
Performance With Intelligent Traction: Direct4 System Transforms Driving
The RZ 500e utilizes two electric motors — one on each axle — delivering 381 hp combined in Brazil. Each unit offers about 26.9 kgfm of torque, and the Direct4 system automatically adjusts the distribution between the axles in proportions ranging from 60:40 to 0:100, according to need.
With this, the SUV accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.6 seconds, a performance that reinforces the competitiveness of the launch in the premium automotive market.
Range Of Up To 600 Km And Fast Charging Create New Opportunities For The Consumer
The 77 kWh lithium-ion battery features liquid cooling and can reach 600 km of range in the European WLTP urban cycle. At DC chargers, the model supports up to 150 kW, recovering approximately 80% of the battery in about 30 minutes, equivalent to an additional 150 km.
Thus, the SUV meets consumers looking for electric cars capable of replacing combustion vehicles in their daily lives without compromising their routines.
Safety And Silence Reinforce Lexus’ Value Package
The SUV comes equipped with the Lexus Safety System+ 3.0 package, featuring adaptive cruise control, lane assist, pre-collision system, adaptive high beams, blind spot monitoring, 360° camera, and eight airbags.
Additionally, Lexus applied specific materials in doors, pillars, flooring, and trunk to enhance acoustic insulation, creating an experience that differentiates the RZ 500e from many competitors.
Warranty Of Up To 10 Years And Expanding Network Enhance Purchase Opportunities
The brand maintains its policy of warranty of up to 10 years (or 200,000 km), provided that servicing after the fifth year is done at authorized centers. The LexusCare program includes fixed-price maintenance, 24-hour assistance, and extensive parts availability.
Currently, there are 14 dealerships in Brazil, and a new unit will open in Florianópolis by 2025, further strengthening the brand’s presence in the national automotive market.
