Find your perfect RZ

Cars available now

The Lexus RZ is compelling in many ways. It’s practical, good to drive, pleasant to sit and – as long as you steer clear of the range-topping trims – reasonably priced. Its usability is hamstrung, though, by mediocre efficiency: in our Winter Range Test, it fell almost 100 miles short of its official range.

The entry-level trim comes with plenty of standard equipment, including electric front seats, climate control and a panoramic roof, plus lots of safety kit, including blind-spot monitoring and a driver attention monitor.

Two electric motors pump out a combined 308bhp, and the RZ can comfortably out-accelerate a BMW iX3. There isn’t quite the neck-jarring G-force you experience in some electric cars, but who really needs that from a family SUV?
