The unveiling of the Lexus RZ is believed to have made many people shine, and the preview of some time ago is basically the same, the new car compared with the bZ4X, Subaru Solterra, its plastic cover is significantly reduced, and the interior is also different. A closer look reveals that the shape of the headlights light sets has also changed, with the Lexus version having the most stylish rear shape and two-piece roof spoiler compared to rival Toyota and Subaru. The biggest highlight in the back is the brand LOGO. Previously reported, Lexus will use a pure letter nameplate LOGO starting with the new LX.
In terms of interior, the steering wheel is the first to catch the eye, and the 14-inch touchscreen is larger than the 12.3-inch infotainment system of the other two models. There are fewer physical buttons on the center console, and the air conditioner air outlet is located above the display rather than below. The position of the start button is placed on the left side of the central air conditioning port, and the side vents are designed horizontally rather than vertically arranged.
In terms of power, like the Solterra, the RZ is an all-wheel drive model, with the 450e equipped with a 150 kW front-mounted electric motor and an 80-kW rear-mounted electric motor. Combined, the total output is 230 kW, which equates to 308 horsepower. It's 93 horsepower higher than Subaru and the AWD-equipped Toyota bZ4X, with a total output of 215 horsepower.
As for the number of ranges depending on the model, more importantly, the high-spec version is equipped with larger wheels. On this Lexus model, the 362 km range model is equipped with 18-inch alloy wheels.
The RZ 450e is scheduled to go on sale in North America by the end of the year, with pricing details yet to be disclosed. For reference, the bZ4X XLE all-wheel drive model costs $44,080 and the dual-motor Limited model costs $46,700. Guess the top RZ price will break through $50,000.
