Pioneer among hybrids, the world’s largest builder is gradually devoting increased attention to 100% electric models, a strategy that could not be left out of its luxury division. It is in this context that the new Lexus RZ 450e was developed, an SUV that is positioned between the more compact NXm and the top-of-the-range RX – and which is also its first exclusively electric propulsion model created based on a platform specifically developed to serve this type of proposal.
With a new, holistic stylistic approach that allows it to differentiate itself, at first glance, from the other models of the brand, it also stands out for its luxurious interior, of great quality, truly spacious, full of technology and with a lot of class. The dynamic aspect was also not forgotten, thanks, on the one hand, to the installation of a motor per axle, which guarantees all-wheel drive, a combined power of 313 hp, and noteworthy accelerations; and, on the other hand, to an evolved chassis capable of making driving a true pleasure.
