Lexus RZ
Based on the same platform as the Toyota bZ4X and Subaru Solterra, the RZ is the Lexus brand’s first foray into all-electric mobility. It is powered by a pair of electric motors fed by a 71.4kWh battery. Output is rated at 308 horsepower. While the ride is smooth and quiet in typical Lexus fashion, the RZ offers no more than 354 km of range (or 315 km if you opt for the Luxury or Executive Package featuring larger wheels) and 150kW fast-charging capability.
