Lexus RZ 450e 2023.

Lexus RZ 450e 2023. Lexus has revealed the design of the RZ 450e electric crossover.
It will share a platform with the Toyota bZ4X and Subaru Solterra, but will not be their exact copy.

By the end of this decade, Toyota Motor Corporation wants to sell at least 30 battery electric vehicles worldwide. President Akio Toyoda showed 17 of them today in the form of concepts of varying degrees of readiness.

This includes the Lexus RZ 450e, a crossover that we have so far only seen in teasers.

The first full-fledged images confirmed our guess: this Lexus will be noticeably different in design from Toyota bZ4X and Subaru Solterra all-terrain vehicles, though it will share e-TNGA platform with them.

Thus, the front panel will be a variation on the recognizable radiator grille, and the L-shaped running lights will remain.

The profile of the RZ is already more similar to its non-premium relatives, but still does not copy them completely.

In particular, the roof lines look more effective thanks to darkened rear struts.

At the same time, the charging port in all three is located in the same place.

There are no pictures of the interior yet, and no technical details.

Earlier it was reported that the model is already in the final stages of development and even in the base configuration will be all-wheel drive, with the proprietary Direct4 traction distribution system.

By 2030, Lexus wants to have an electric car in every segment, with only battery-powered cars it intends to sell in Europe, North America and China by that time. In another five years, Lexuses with internal combustion engines will disappear from all other markets of the world.

The electric crossover Lexus is preparing to squeeze Tesla.

Lexus RZ 450e will start selling in 2023. The crossover will be available with one or two motors.

Official photos of the Lexus RZ 450e have been published. Electric crossover was shown within the framework of presentation of the strategy of electrification of concern Toyota.

It is reported by the official website of the Japanese brand.

Full presentation of the Lexus RZ 450e will take place at the end of the next year, and start of sales is scheduled for 2023.

Among the competitors are Tesla Model Y, as well as Audi Q4 e-tron and Mercedes-Benz EQA.

The RZ 450e is the first purpose-built Lexus electric car, which means it is not converted from a gasoline-powered model like the Lexus UX 300e.

The car is based on the e-TNGA platform, which is also used by the new Toyota bZ4X and Subaru Solterra.

The new Lexus RZ 450e is similar in design to its Subaru and Toyota counterparts, but its roof is more sloping and the window line is curved.

In addition, the front end is done in the Lexus corporate style and imitates the spindle-shaped radiator grille of gasoline models.

Specifications of Lexus RZ 450e are not known yet, but related electric crossovers Toyota and Subaru offer in 204-horsepower front-wheel drive and 218-horsepower all-wheel drive modifications.

Both are equipped with a 71.4 kW∙h battery and have a range of 500 and 460 km, respectively. However, it is possible that the Lexus will be more powerful.
