An electric car for those who don’t like electric cars. We drive a Lexus RZ

It’s built on the same platform as Toyota’s electric debutant, the bZ4x, so the RZ also has crossover outlines. But the visual similarity ends there.

Electric car connoisseur Egija Gailuma will assess the Lexus RZ’s capabilities this time. The cabin of the electric crossover resembles the interior of the latest Lexus RX model. Several technologies carried over without changes. There are a lot of physical buttons, an intuitive display and a very good rearview camera.

The Lexus RZ will always have all-wheel drive with two electric motors and 313 hp. The battery capacity is 71.4 kWh, and the range is up to 438 km.

The first impression of the Lexus RZ is more of a city car. You will find out why in the story.
