Lexus RZ 600e F Sport, 500e EVs launching soon in PH?
Both the Lexus RZ 600e F Sport and 500e variants are now on the DOE's recognized list
Earlier this year, Lexus greeted 2026 with the launch of the RZ 600e F Sport Performance EV. Not only is it the most powerful version in the RZ lineup, but it also makes an impressive 426 PS, which translates to a 0 – 100 km/h sprint time of 4.4 seconds. It's also capable of covering up to 525 km on a single charge and looks good while doing it, thanks to the F Sport goodies and extras.
After its global debut a few months ago, it looks like we can expect the RZ 600e F Sport to arrive here very soon. The Department of Energy (DOE) has updated its list of recognized EVs, and the RZ 600e F Sport is now listed.

Like the model that was revealed back in January 2026, the RZ 600e F Sport for the Philippines will be AWD and will likely have a dual-motor setup. Official specifications have yet to be revealed, although the listing did say it will have a 76.96 kWh battery pack, which is what other markets get for the 600e F Sport.
Also appearing on the DOE's list of recognized EVs is another variant of the Lexus EV, the RZ 500e AWD. This one also has dual electric motors, but makes slightly less with 381 PS. Like the 600e F Sport, the RZ 500e is powered by a 76.96 kWh battery, which gives it a range of up to 500 km on a single charge.

Another feature we can expect from both the RZ 500e and the RZ 600e F Sport is the Lexus Steer-by-Wire system that features a steering yoke.
For now, Lexus Philippines has yet to announce anything with regard to the RZ 500e and RZ 600e F Sport. In fact, the luxury brand only currently sells the RZ 300e and the RZ 450e variants. Perhaps we can expect the automaker to officially launch them later this year.
