Lexus RZ
In addition to offering a wide selection of hybrid models, Lexus now has a fully electric option called RZ 450e. This compact crossover is built on the same e-TNGA architecture that underpins the Toyota bZ4X but is more powerful than the latter thanks to a 150kW front motor and 80kW rear motor. AWD is standard, while maximum range is estimated at around 360 km. Inside, technology takes centre stage with a large 14-inch touchscreen.
