The better Toyota bZ4X? 2023 Lexus RZ electric car review: New RZ450e EV targets Tesla Model Y SUV |
|
The 2023 Lexus RZ is finally here, giving Australian buyers their first taste of Toyota's new dedicated electric vehicle (EV) platform, which has also spawned two other mid-size SUVs, the Toyota bZ4X and Subaru Solterra.
That's right; the RZ is Lexus' first proper electric car, following in the tyre tracks of the UX300e small SUV, which uses a modified version of the UX's internal-combustion engine (ICE) underpinnings. Point being, the RZ should have fewer compromises - but does it? In this expert review, CarsGuide Journalist Tom White finds out if the RZ was worth waiting for by putting its RZ450e variant through its paces. It's got dual-motor performance and all-wheel-drive grip - but does it have the driving range to match? #Lexus #RZ #Review -- 00:00 Intro 00:26 Pricing and features 01:58 Design 04:26 Practicality 05:40 Under the bonnet 06:11 Driving 10:09 Efficiency 11:14 Safety 11:38 Ownership 12:45 Verdict -- Read Tom's full review: https://carsgui.de/42eAGtq Check out our Lexus RZ hub: https://bit.ly/3gckd6T Find more SUVs: https://carsgui.de/3OqDP3B Visit our EV Guide: https://carsgui.de/3RJ2faq -- CarsGuide - Go beyond the test drive Visit our website for News, Reviews, Advice and more: https://www.carsguide.com.au Subscribe to our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/carsguide Like our Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/carsguide.australia Follow our Instagram profile: https://www.instagram.com/carsguideaus Follow our TikTok profile: https://www.tiktok.com/@carsguide.com.au Follow our Twitter profile: https://www.twitter.com/CarsGuide Follow our LinkedIn page: https://www.linkedin.com/company/carsguide-com-au |
