REVIEW: Lexus enters the premium electric SUV club with the RZ - a jazzed-up version of the Toyota bZ4X. Let's see if it's better than an Audi Q8 E-tron or a Jaguar I-Pace...
So the RZ joins a very busy and competitive market segment on the back foot. It redeems itself somewhat on the road, because that promise of confidence, control and comfort rings true. Despite not being offered with adaptive dampers, this is a very smooth and quiet-riding car that’s reassuring and satisfying, though not exciting to drive.
Although the software can cleverly distribute torque, the front motor is more powerful than the rear one, so the RZ feels at best neutral under power. That’s fine, though: it’s not trying to be sporty, remember. And even so, the RZ musters adequate grip, while its standard steering is well weighted.
