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?
