A few days ago, according to foreign media, Lexus released on the official social media account that its new pure electric SUV model RZ will be unveiled on April 20, and the official also released a model preview video.
Judging from the video screenshot pictures and previously officially revealed photos, on the RZ, it still continues the previous Lexus iconic design language, and adopts a very special double-color design, so that the overall look is more "personality", the previous grille, on the pure electric model, adopts a closed type, and, according to the video exposure, the front Of the RZ model Lexus LOGO will also use a luminous design.
Lexus RZ and the previously closely watched Toyota bZ4X model are the same, both from Toyota's e-TNGA pure electric platform to build, but the two models in the design, there is a relatively large difference.
According to the trailer video, the steering wheel of the Lexus RZ uses an alien design, but according to the introduction of Toyota bZ4X in China, it has adopted a standard three-frame design, it seems that the special-shaped steering wheel will not be felt in the country for a while and a half; there are brief interior layout exposures in the trailer video, and there are some differences from the previous official release, and toyota bZ4X has some similarities, all use embedded central control screens, and, according to the brand tone of Lexus, it will certainly be more luxurious than Toyota bZ4X.
At present, in terms of power, Lexus has not yet made relevant introductions, but according to the platform, it should use the same power layout as bZ4X, and will also use the battery of the Ningde era, which was officially declared to have better durability; in terms of power, the maximum power of the front-drive model is 150kW, the four-wheel drive model, the total power can reach 160kW, and the WLTC working condition can reach 500km.
With the Toyota brand officially entering the pure electricity market, you can also see Toyota's determination in the pure electricity market and platform, but the author sees that Toyota is still a little too conservative, in the current new energy market needs a "big change", similar to Toyota's "elephant" brand, have not turned around too thoroughly, of course, the traditional brand more little by little change, just time and opportunity, can also leave the "elephant" how much can not be done, of course, but also look forward to the future of the new energy market struggle.
