The Car Guide rating 60%(view ratings)
Long known for its hybrid technology, Lexus was late to the EV party. Sharing many similarities with the more plebian Toyota bZ4X and Subaru Solterra, including a 71.4kWh battery, the RZ impresses few people with just 354 km of range. When equipped with the available Executive Package, look for no more than 315 km. Additionally, charging speeds are slower than most. Output is a respectable 308 horsepower, while the ride is smooth and quiet.
