The Lexus RZ ins't the firm's first electric car: that doubtful honour went to the UX300e of a few years ago, which was built on a platform originally designed as a petrol-electric hybrid, and which was, to be honest, a rather forgettable car. The RZ is, however, the first Lexus to be designed and built from the ground up as an electric car. It's built on the same platform as Toyota's BZ4X EV, but it slightly bigger and slightly posher, pitting it against rivals such as the Audi Q8 E-Tron, Tesla Model Y and, well, pretty much any other luxury electric SUV you can think of. It uses the same 71.4kWh lithium ion battery pack as the BZ4X, 64kWh of which is usable capacity, and it powers motors that drive all four wheels, giving an official WLTP range of between 251 and 271 miles, depending on the spec of the car. Prices start at around £64,000 and rise to around £74,000. In this CarGurus UK review, electric car expert Vicky Parrott gets to grips with the new Lexus, giving you the lowdown on its styling, practicality, technology, driving dynamics, charging and more.
