Lexus Enters EV Waters with RZ Crossover
Photo: Lexus 2023 Lexus RZ, profile This morning we were introduced to the first concrete result of the Lexus Electrified vision laid out by the Japanese luxury automaker. The Lexus RZ is the brand’s first global all-electric model, and it is also, as you can tell from the looks of it and from any other number of clues, a close cousin to the recently introduced Toyota bZ4X.
On the outside, that massive Lexus front grille we’ve seen dominate recent models from the brand has been replaced with what the company calls a BEV Spindle Body, designed to optimize aerodynamics and proportions. The absence of the need to cool the engine and lead exhaust out opens the door to new styling elements as well. Lexus promises we’ll see many of those elements on future EVs from the brand.

Engineers included in-cabin sounds to deliver a livelier driving sound overall – we’ll wait to see how convincing that is in real-world driving – while the battery pack in the floor serves as a sound barrier in its own right.
