Lexus

In a second major leak in a row the Lexus RZ450e follows the BMW i7 - the two EVs appearing ahead of their April 20 announcements. The photos we have are courtesy of RZForums and they look like TV screenshots from Discovery channel - did Lexus Japan jump the gun and run the adverts early?

What we can see is what we were expecting, there are no surprises here. RZ450e is a twin of the Toyota bZ4x, but with a few unmistakably Lexus touches - the lights and the grille make sure we can never think it’s anything else. What we don’t see here is the interior but the photos released earlier already cleared that mystery and we expect luxury at its best from Lexus.

Since Lexus, Toyota and Subaru share the same platform we can expect the same battery - 71.4kWh. The power in the Toyota is 218hp, but we hope Lexus will up the game and bring more impressive numbers. Toyota has so far skipped the controversial yoke steering wheel but Lexus may try bringing it to the market if only as an option.
