The Lexus RZ 450e's Radiant Knee Heater Is Cooler Than The Name Suggests | Carscoops carscoops
Keeping comfortable in most cars is as easy as cranking the climate control system and switching on the heated or ventilated seat. It’s been like that for decades, but, the radiant knee heater debuts on the 2023 Lexus RZ and should prove popular with customers living in cold climates. The system sees infrared heating panels installed beneath the steering column and passenger side dashboard, and they work to warm your legs.
Lexus describes the effect as being wrapped in a warm blanket, but it feels even subtler than that in person. That being said, the panels deliver noticeable warmth and they were a welcome addition on a chilly California morning.The panels are tied to the heated front seats and they’re represented on the display by two curved lines. If you delve into the controls, you can adjust their intensity and tailor the experience to your liking.
The radiant knee heater comes standard on the range-topping RZ 450e Luxury and is only a $175 option on the entry-level Premium. That’s pretty affordable, but the radiant heater results in the crossover eschewing a glove box.
