Reviews Summary | |
Reviews SummaryThe Lexus RZ 450e is the brand’s first-ever dedicated battery-electric vehicle (BEV), with several innovative, Lexus-first features as well. It launches in two trims, Premium and Luxury, both of which we tested on a press program hosted by Lexus. The RZ (for “Radiant Zero”) is built in the same Motomachi, Japan facility which also produced the Lexus LC, LFA, and GS F. | |
