Lexus RZ450E unveiling

[Barry14UK]

Just in case anyone who might be interested missed the advance notice, here is a link.  I hope we get a good look at the car and performance info detail and price range is given.  This car comes late to the party and needs to have better performance than the rather similar Toyota bZ4x with which it shares it's chassis.

Thanks for this Barry. I agree, it'll be interesting to see the performance, range details and price. I guess it will start somewhere around £55K, taking into account the competition as well as the UX electric and bZ4x prices. This link shows a different dashboard to that Toyota with what looks like a head-up display and a centre console similar to the new (and very nice) NX. Not sure about the steering wheel though!

It needs to be better but I fear it will essentially be the same vehicle.

Not another SUV!

seems like every car is an SUV these days, what happened to saloons or for more practicality an estate.

Largely cashing into fashion with heavy early emphasise on SUV, although other non SUV's planned to follow in the Lexus all electric line up.

I’ll have to wait for the saloon then, however quite fancy the Kia EV6 my neighbour has.
