LEXUS RZ
LUXURY
WATT MATTERS?
The RZ is Lexus's dedicated electric SUV, and an important test of whether the brand's traditional refinement translates convincingly into the battery-electric era.
THE BASICS
A five-seat luxury EV with a cabin-first approach and variant-dependent drivetrain and range. The Australian model year matters because EV specifications have been evolving rapidly.
