Lexus may have been the pioneer when it comes to electrified vehicles, but they sure bided their time in coming up with a bespoke battery electric vehicle. However, faced with tightening emissions standards and a view of luxury centering around sustainability, it’s something they can no longer ignore. And with a promise to shift to 100 percent electric by 2035, Lexus needs to put a standard down-a measure by which they (and others) could see where the brand’s headed. This is the primary mission bestowed on the Lexus RZ 450e and one it’s managed to both accomplish and fail at.
Cutting to the chase, the RZ 450e’s biggest fault is that it’s not able to backup all of its promise. The looks may be exciting, but the driving experience doesn’t quite match it.
Another problem on the RZ 450e is how it can’t seem to match its as-advertised 470-kilometer range. Its 71.4-kWh (64 kWh usable) battery is already on the small side and couple that with an efficiency figure of just 4.4 km per kWh, it doesn’t even reach 300 kilometers before require a charge. The Jaguar I-Pace musters the same sort of efficiency, but it counters that with a larger battery pack. Meanwhile, the BMW iX3 offers both-better efficiency and a larger battery size compared to the Lexus.
