Lexus enters fast-filling premium electric SUV club with jazzed-up Toyota bZ4X With so many cars spuriously purporting to be sporty or have racing genes, itâ€™s refreshing when the presentation for a new one hardly even mentions athleticism. The Lexus RZ is the firmâ€™s flagship electric car, and instead it ought to offer â€œconfidence, control and comfortâ€, says Lexus.Mind you, it still has up to 309bhp and will out-accelerate quite a few hot hatches.The RZ was Lexus' first steps into getting serious about EVs. It had the Lexus UX 300e for a while, but that was never quite a heavy hitter.Whereas this car is and goes toe-to-toe with the likes of the Tesla Model Y, Nissan Ariya and Hyundai Ioniq 5.The RZ shares its e-TNGA platform â€“ which is bespoke to EVs â€“ with the Toyota bZ4X and Subaru Solterra.A cheaper two-wheel drive mode (badged 300e) joined the range in 2024 to address issues concerning range and price.
