The vehicle is four-wheel drive and uses the manufacturer’s e-Axle: a compact, modular component that consists of an electric motor, a transmission and a control unit and is located between the driven wheels. Under the floor, the Lexus RZ 450e has a 71.4 kWh battery that is fully integrated into the chassis and delivers more than 400 km per charge, although official homologation has not yet been completed. However, in typical Lexus style it sports a Diabolo radiator grille – though in reverse thanks to having no need for a grille. Like its close relative, the Toyota bZ4X, the Lexus RZ 450e is built on a dedicated platform developed for the Japanese carmaker’s electric cars. No pricing has yet been announced however, nor has a timeline for any possible launch in Australia. The RZ450e is Lexus’s second EV, joining the UX 300e to start rolling out to customers at the end of 2022. Lexus has launched its second battery-electric vehicle, the RZ450e, and taken a leaf from the book of Tesla with the addition of a yoke steering wheel.
