Lexus RZ Electric 450e Luxury (A) Review
27 May 2023  |  Lexus Reviews
The Lexus RZ may come with a tall asking price, but its road manners and use of luxurious cabin appointments more than justify its cost.

Review
Lexus' all-electric SUV comes with the quiet ride and premium touches that make it a worthy of carrying on the legacy of the RX.

What I like
Opt for this car in black so those accent pieces don't look so obvious.

Other than this, the car feels so natural to steer and push along, thanks to a light steering and pedals. The material on the seats don't trap heat but also don't feel cold, and the seating position feels just about right for a family SUV. Tall, but not ponderously so.

It's a sleek looking car that delivers a sleek drive.

What I do not like
Nil.

The car is fast and quiet. I like the automatic cruise control with auto resumed driving from stop. The heated seats for all the passengers are a bonus especially for older people. This is the best Lexus I ever owned and very economical to charge once every 10 days. Only $9 per charge compared to $100 petrol cost . What I dislike is the charge range only 303km . Other brands are already going beyond 400km

Review
It has unique black accents below the head lights, but paired with a sleek and modern interior.

And it's Lexus' first vehicle built on a dedicated all-electric platform. So does it deliver that Lexus refinement and quiet smoothness?

What I like
Some places really leave something to be desired. Let's talk about what's great in the cabin first. The seats come in an interesting fabric that's neither warm nor cool to touch. Material use is definitely quite premium here, although the build quality in some places really needs a bit of a bump considering this is a car on an all-new platform. The rivals from Germany still have an edge here.

Speaking of losing to rivals, Lexus' infotainment also desperately needs an overhaul here. The fonts are inconsistent with those on the instrument cluster, the colours look meh. The plastic buttons on the steering wheel feel cheap, even if they are actually rather clever touch-sensitive items to adjust the head-up display.

What I do not like
The front design of the car needs a bit of a rethink.

Review
Lexus refinement and serenity now get an all-electric boost thanks to this new RZ, the first car from the firm to be based on an all-electric platform. Is it any good?

What I like
There's decent battery capacity in this thing, and just about respectable power as well, which will see you zipping around traffic although its not quite the surge of effortless power you get in other electric cars, this RZ's 308bhp is just about enough to push its large body about.

Great news is its actually quite a bit quieter than its peers, and the suspension is mighty comfortable as well. The seats feel excellent, soft without being too warm on sunny days, and there's decent visibility all round (other than the back maybe thanks to that tall tailgate).

What I do not like
Interior feels, like any other Lexus, a little old compared to rivals. And it also comes with a steep asking price.
