Recently, Lexus' first pure electric car, the pioneering work of Lexus RZ, officially ushered in the world premiere. The car is built on the e-TNGA electric drive platform and positions a compact SUV. It can be seen from the launch time of the car (April 20) that Lexus launched a pure electric car later than the BBA, after all, Mercedes-Benz EQC, Audi e-tron and BMW iX3 have been on the market for a long time, and the sales of these three cars are not ideal, as a "late comer" Lexus RZ can rewrite the embarrassing situation that pure electric models launched by luxury brands are not welcome? I personally feel that as long as you can put down your brand "baggage", don't take the brand premium in the fuel vehicle market to the new energy vehicle market, you can still make some gains, right?
In terms of appearance, the front face of the Lexus RZ is still a familial "spindle" design, but it has only one shape, and it is essentially still the closed front grille design of a pure electric car. The model in the picture uses two-color body painting, and the hood, roof, A/B/C/D pillars are all black, which forms a strong visual contrast with the body color. The car's headlights are integrated into the sides of the front and connected to the lower grille by a black trim strip, which has a strong sense of design, and it follows the classic Lexus design while also has a certain innovation.
The side part, although the size of the Lexus RZ is smaller than the RX, can still see the "shadow" of the RX, especially the design method at the D-pillar, which is the same as the RX, which is created by the window line up and blackened trim to create the visual effect of the floating roof. Due to the smaller size of the Lexus RZ, the body style of the coupe SUV is also more intense. In the rear part of the car, the through taillights are now very common, and the through taillights of the Lexus RZ are not special, but the upper part of the taillights does not use the Lexus "Clock" logo, but uses the word "LEXUS". In addition, its blackened bumper protrudes outward, is this to buffer the collision?
In terms of size, the length, width and height of the car are 4805 * 1895 * 1635mm, the wheelbase is 2850mm, although it is a compact SUV, its body size is not smaller than some medium-sized SUVs.
The interior part, the special-shaped steering wheel is very special, it follows toyota's "reins" concept, although it is not convenient to rotate although the circular steering wheel, but it is equipped with steering-by-wire and variable steering ratio technology, one-sided 150 ° can fill the steering wheel, steering is more precise, by reducing the number of steering wheel rotations to make up for their own styling defects is also a good way. Its central control screen size is also not small, 14 inches, support mobile phone Internet, Car Networking, OTA upgrades and so on. In addition, the car also offers a basic L2-level driver assistance system. In terms of high-tech configuration, Lexus is still consistently conservative, far less intelligent than the new domestic car-making forces.
In terms of rear space, it is not spacious and cramped, but fortunately, the rear floor is flat, and the riding comfort is still good. As for the trunk, the shape is regular, the depth can also be, in addition to the height space does not dominate (the coupe SUV affects the trunk height space in the shape), the carrying capacity is acceptable.
Powerly, the Lexus RZ is equipped with a dual-motor four-wheel drive system with a maximum power of 150kW for the front motor and 80kW for the rear motor, with more emphasis on front-drive driving. It is equipped with a power battery with a capacity of 71.4kWh, and no maximum range has been announced. The car is also equipped with a DIRECT4 electronic dynamic four-wheel drive system, which can accurately control the distribution of front and rear wheel drive forces compared to the traditional electric four-wheel drive system.
As for whether it can fire, the key depends on the price, doesn't it?
