    Lexus RZ

    Lexus RZ

    The first electric car from Lexus uses the same underpinnings as Toyota and Subaru’s first EVs and is a breakthrough for the luxury brand with drive-by-wire steering.

    It is sold in Australia in one twin-motor 450e spec with all-wheel drive.

    Myriad customisation is available as you’d expect from a premium marque.
