Lexus RZ 450e 230kW Direct4 Premium + 71 kWh 5dr Auto Review

Read full reviewThe Lexus RZ is compelling in many ways, being practical, good to drive, pleasant to sit in and – as long as you steer clear of the range-topping trims – reasonably priced.

The top-level F Sport with its ‘yoke’ steering wheel works well enough, but is more of a novelty than a necessity.
