The Lexus RZ marks the brand's genuine foray into the electric vehicle market, distancing itself from the previous, less successful UX 300e. The RZ boasts a faster charging time, utilizing a CCS charging port, allowing a 10-80% charge in just half an hour. Built on the e-TNGA platform, it shares its underpinnings with vehicles like the Toyota bZ4X and Subaru Solterra. While its 71.4kWh battery is on the smaller side compared to rivals, Lexus emphasizes long-term battery health, aiming to retain 90% capacity after a decade.
