The model
Read full Lexus RZ reviewThe RZ's range between charges is nothing to write home about, but it is compelling in many other ways. It’s practical, good to drive, pleasant to sit and – as long as you steer clear of the range-topping trims – reasonably priced.
The trim
See full equipmentThe top-of-the-range trim adds a dimmable panoramic roof, an upgraded sound system and plusher interior finishes, but is too expensive to recommend.
The engine
See full engine specsTwo 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?
