The Lexus RZ 450e is Lexus' first all-electric vehicle.
It uses the dedicated electric platform that Toyota introduced with the bZ4X and is supposed to be part of a very broad model attack from the Japanese manufacturer.

The exterior design continues the application of the familiar elements of Lexus models, and does so in a bolder way.
The result looks quite successful and also one that is immediately identified with the manufacturer.
When it comes to propulsion, there are two electric motors here that produce a combined power of 313 hp, which is expressed, among other things, in acceleration to 100 km / h in 5.6 seconds.
The driving range should be around 400 km with the option of fast charging.
Lexus also declares a minimal loss of battery capacity throughout the first decade of life.
The cabin also continues the familiar direction from the latest Lexus models, only in a more signpost.
The front of the cabin is designed with an emphasis on the driver and accessibility of all control accessories to it.
Lexus continues to maintain a minimalist look on the one hand and a wealth of equipment on the other hand, and includes details here such as a sunroof with variable brightness and a single-door opening mechanism.
As with the first Toyota tram, here too there is the option of a truncated steering wheel, the use of which is possible thanks to a steering-on-wire system, which can allow maximum wheel rotation with a minimum of steering action.
The Lexus RZ 450e is expected to reach us before the end of the current year.
When it does, it will be a relatively new model in a fairly busy environment.
At the right pricing, it may enjoy both the reputation that Lexus has in the domestic market and the intensification of affection for all-electric recreational vehicles.
