The updated Lexus RZ changes mainly underneath: the battery has been revised to improve efficiency and driving range, while charging times should be more competitive than before. Steering and chassis tuning have also been refined to make the car feel more natural on the road.
Out on the road, the electric SUV remains quiet and comfortable, with a true premium cabin finish. For Italian buyers, the key question is value for money: Lexus is raising its technical game, but it still has to win over shoppers facing strong German and Korean rivals.
