Speaking of Lexus, many people will think of The Lexus ES200, Lexus ES300H and other Buddhist players, perhaps in many private forums these models are hugely controversial, but it is undeniable that even models such as the Lexus ES200 are original imports. Therefore, the monthly sales of these models are still not as bad as netizens say. However, in the era of new energy, Lexus seems to be somewhat behind. Recently, Lexus finally brought consumers a pure tram - Lexus RZ, so with the quality of Lexus RZ, can it be called a luxury pure tram?
Appearance - big change!
Like the Lexus family model, even if it is a pure electric car, the Lexus RZ uses a spindle grille design scheme, but uses a closed shape. The headlights are still sharp, especially the daytime running lights, and even a little "light factory" taste!
The shape of the side is also quite smooth, but unlike many European opponents, the waist line of the Lexus RZ is much more complicated, and the upturned waist line is matched with the body design of the upper back, and it is completely impossible to see that this is a pure electric SUV. The 4805 mm body is not short either. The design of the rear is much simpler, the through-led taillights are not unusual in similar models, and the LEXUS logo placed in the center of the tail is also in line with many pure trams with novel concepts.
Interior – the steering wheel is the highlight!
In the interior design part, the Lexus RZ completely lost the mediocre and mature interior design style of the previous Lexus models, and instead adopted an unconventional shape used by few manufacturers, and even had the flavor of the steering wheel of an F1 car. As a model under the luxury brand, the workmanship and sewing process in the Lexus RZ are also not to worry about, and still maintain the high standard of the Lexus family. In addition, the manufacturer also designed a gear shift mechanism for the electronic knob for the new car, which is also more in line with the positioning of the Lexus RZ pure tram.
As for the configuration, the Lexus RZ is not behind, the full LCD dashboard, the 14-inch large central control screen are all offered, and in the function of the central control, the Lexus RZ is also very interesting, supporting mobile phone mapping, car networking and OTA functions. Even the adjustment function of the air conditioner has been integrated into the central control, and it has to be said that the manufacturer still spent a lot of effort on the Lexus RZ.
Power - parameters are acceptable
In the powertrain section, the Lexus RZ, which advertises a luxury pure electric car, also uses a combination of front and rear dual motors. The maximum power of the front motor can reach 150 kilowatts, and the maximum power of the rear motor is 80 kilowatts, such data is not outstanding for today's strong pure tram market, but compared to the traditional fuel vehicle, such power is still very advantageous. The endurance part is equipped with a 71.4 kWh power battery, and the factory has not yet given the exact endurance figure, which can achieve an endurance of 500 kilometers.
What is more interesting is that the manufacturer also equipped the Lexus RZ with direct4 electronic dynamic four-wheel drive system, the vehicle's control system will automatically determine the power output ratio of the front and rear wheels according to the current speed, steering angle and the depth of the electric gate, and can achieve power distribution between 0:100 and 100:0, which seems to be nothing new for a tram, but compared to the previous fuel vehicles, it is unimaginable.
Write at the end
Back to the original question: Can the Lexus RZ be called a luxury pure tram? I think so. Perhaps in this era of strong new energy vehicles, even luxury brands that have been deeply involved in the automotive field for many years can hardly guarantee that they can win market share in the new energy market. As a belated Lexus RZ, it is even more burdensome. For the current pure tram market, the market share left for Lexus RZ does not seem to be much. However, for the ever-changing domestic market, the market performance of the Lexus RZ is left to time to answer!
