In recent years, the arrival of the tide of automobile electrification has allowed some new forces car companies to start to show their hands, which has also intensified the sense of crisis of traditional car companies. In order to better promote the development of electrification, Toyota recently held an electric vehicle strategy briefing, and exhibited 16 electric vehicles in one go, and proposed a 10-year investment plan of up to 4 trillion yen (about 225 billion yuan). At the briefing, the Lexus RZ 450e, which had previously released a teaser, officially revealed its true face, and the official picture of the new car was also announced.
Lexus RZ 450e
As a model built on the same platform as the Toyota bZ4x and Subaru Soltera, the Lexus RZ is not much different from them in size, but in terms of appearance, the Lexus RZ has a sharper and bolder shape. In the front part, the car still retains the Lexus family spindle design, but because it is a pure electric vehicle, it adopts a closed grille, but on both sides and below it still retains the air intakes for heat dissipation, and the air intakes on both sides are also connected to the headlights above, which has a good unity. The car's C-pillars were blackened to create the look and feel of a suspended roof. The tail adopts a slip-on design, and the addition of through-type taillights also increases the recognition of the car, and the air outlets on the lower sides echo the air intakes at the front face.
Lexus RZ 450e partial details
The car's parameters in terms of power and endurance are unclear, but since the other two e-TNGA-based models have a dual-motor four-wheel drive version with a maximum power of 215 horsepower, the higher positioning lexus will naturally not be lacking. In terms of endurance, considering that Toyota bZ4x has a cruising range of 500km, it is believed that the Lexus RZ 450e should not be lower than this level.
