KBB moving Mike Danger in front of the camera was the best move ever! He's casual but professional and has great energy!!! More Mike Danger reviews please!!!

So it’s barely got a 200 mile range and they want almost 60k are they insane.

The range is a deal breaker, but other than that, this seems like a nice luxury car. Imagine what Toyota can do when it actually gets serious about building electric cars. It kind of makes me wonder why the BZ4X is so awful. Why doesn't it have the 200 hp motor up front like this does? I'm wondering why Toyota didn't put a bigger battery in this to make it more competitive. It's pretty small for a vehicle of this size. The 6.6 kw onboard charger probably won't be a big problem for most people but it's an indication of how behind this car is compared to some of the competition.

The $60k asking price doesn’t make sense. Range and efficiency are low, but so is performance. The interior is nice, but not $60k lux. Other EVs at this price, or lower, offer something special. Lexus will get buyers that want a second car with the Lexus badge. Buyers that never need a long distance and trust Lexus quality, service, etc. But there are better vehicles at this price, so I expect this to sell in low numbers.

Fantastic review.

Lexus-Toyota. As one of the giants, this is just a bit sad. 200 mile range at best, low charging speed, no frunk, will likely be 60k+ MSRP + stealership markups and no rebates this year. I like the moon roof tech and steer by wire but overall, this has the recipe for low sales.

Another great review Mike! Keep it up.

excellent review

Love when Ford brought aluminum to the F150 in 2015, people mocked it. And now it’s basically on most mainstream vehicles.

Mike your ring game is fire 🔥

The ambient lighting with "shadow illumination" at 12:05 is slickkkkkk.

That's is so cool I love the future

Finally Toyota/ Lexus has its own EV but the 220 miles range is disappointed!!

Toyota has really put themselves at a disadvantage with mediocre mileage in these EVswith all their versions from Toyota & Subaru. Won’t definite consider😩

I love this guy 😄

Nice looking car from the outside. The interior on the other hand doesn’t look premium to me.

Much nicer than the BZ from Toyota. Btw will call Mike Mr. GoPro, so many in the back.

Drive by wire done right!

Is this that Toyotas BZ4? Just a Lexus version of it?

the "yoke" steer by wire is better than Tesla for sure...

Excellent job reviewing this vehicle!

I’d wait until they release the electric GX

Rz reminds me off the bmw electric suv. It's weird and kinda like an experiment

Excellent video Mike!

Have a good Monday everyone ✌️

please drop the link for your kicks. thank you.

Toyota's heart just isn't in building e.v.'s...and it shows.

Is your last name really Danger? That is the most awesome name ever.

Range is fine. You own one of these if youre going around town. And you own a regular car

Toyota drops the ball again while complaining there's no demand for EVs. Maybe if they made something good like what Ford, Hyundai and Kia have done, they could actually compete in the economy car EV world. Oh, wait, this is suppose to be the luxury version. Still not great when compared to the EV luxury cars. If it can't hold a candle to economy cars, what makes you think it'll sell well in the luxury space? Come on Toyota, you're better than this

Ok, I know Lexus buyers that switch to Tesla, anyway, if the RZ 450e offered better range, I think Lexus would be shocked how well it could do, but with its range, can Lexus really justify its starting price and one wonders, how it would do with a lower starting price, overall, I would rank it, behind the Tesla Model Y (better EV in every way, note I said EV), next, the Cadillac Lyriq (one of Cads best model to date and feel worth its price), following the BMW iX (a problem, you have to look at it and dark colors look better) and next the Mercedes EQE SUV (I would wait for it), this may be a stretch, but I have the RZ 450e tied with the Audi e-tron (or upcoming 2024 Q8 e-tron, the name change), crazy but both of these EVs suffer the same problem, range, as for the Genesis GV60 (it's too small, enough said), I know Audi has the Q4 e-tron (it's fine, but wasn't a fan of the VW ID.4, so), I kind of always pull for Lexus or Cadillac vs the Germans, one would ask why didn't Lexus offer quicker charging and a larger battery pack, overall, it's what I expected from the first Lexus EV, given the fact Toyoyta's not a big EV fans

Weird car and jacket 🧥😂

They are not going to be all electric by 2035

Maybe if the guy in the left lane was actually going the posted speed limit....

Danger sound a little like Kermit the frog there in the beginning or just me?

Why no 1-pedal driving? Why is that so hard??

The range is too short for me.

My condolences to anyone who buys this, the Bz4X or the Solterra considering the price, ugly styling and range. If it had a performance sort of mission like the EV6 GT or Taycan, it might have gotten away with it. But it isn't, and that's just a poor value for an everyday person. Classic Toyota behind the times... sigh

for a vehicle of this price, size, and weight, 200ish miles is too low of range. My model y has supposedly 330 miles of range, but they recommend limiting it to 90%, or 300 miles so you don't constantly fully charge it. Then with my actual day to day driving, i usually see 225 miles. I have never seen over 250 miles per 90% charge, and nowhere close to 300. so with this lexus, you're realistically driving a 160 mile range vehicle, which just plain sucks

This is so underwhelming. Worst Range in class, non responsive voice system and no glove box for the huge price? This wont sell well.

YOOO OEM CAT EARS

Trust me Toyota is not behind. They are ahead of others as they know hybrids will win in the long run. So all those saying they are behind don’t understand that only a few Uber rich nations can do the ev thing. Not the masses on earth. Heck most nations don’t even have enough power for basic chores and factories let alone charging a car. Seems people dont even know what the world is like and make comments that are disconnected from reality. It’s called ignorance.

really odd lexus chose to not have retractable covers for the pano moonroof. that's one of the most hated features on all vehicles with pano moonroof with no cloth cover. no one wants the sun in their face all day

Is this officially the first electric car from Toyota?

20 yrs of Lexus...Goodbye, finally

I think the VW ID.4 offers more and is cheaper

That’s Model Y performance money you talking about. This is a joke

yawn....... over priced

Yeah, that interior does not look premium at all.

I hate the yoke.

Amazing all the non EV owning fossil fuel advocates blasting this car without ever driving one. 0 emissions is the point of EVs. Yeah it’s overpriced but it’s a Lexus and high build quality will be a given over other alternatives. The debate over mining for lithium, cobalt and other battery materials isn’t over so battery technology has to evolve to include increased range while reducing material. Toyota is supposedly leading the charge. So until battery manufacturers like QuantumScape can actually mass produce ceramic silicon batteries, ALL current mass produced EV batteries are compromised. EPA range is a best guess, and the demographics for this Lexus points to it as being an elegant second car run about town vehicle.

50 hours on a level 1 charger. lol for this amount of money, maybe go with the cadillac lyric instead? not that i could afford either.

More giant crossovers with giant profit margins. The zombie economy is ready to burst. There will be no chance for these overgrown cars, and these are what the majority of car manufacturers built and completed toward .... 👀😬

I am sold son dope ass review. give it to me in pearl white with them 20" rims

That assistant system is amazingly useless. Why would you turn up the temperature in 0.5 seconds if you can scream "Hey Lexus" for half an hour and hope it does something?

220mi range is...terrible

Wood is not sustainable? It literally grows on trees! LOL

That range is terrible! This Lexus crossover is on some 🗑️ 😂 Dope vid though! I’d be curious to know if the views drop off dramatically once Mike shared the range. 😂😂😂

I think this car is overpriced.... come on 60k for 0-60 in 5 seconds? 200 miles range?

It is so ugly from the front.

Looks cartoonish... But damn fine

That looks like a child's jacket you got on. Come on now

Sorry for the loyal Toyota/Lexus who will get suckered into this just because of the brand. I’m all for EVs but this is just half-assed. Really expected better from Lexus.

hei it has the joke steering wheel too

Qualifications to review @ KBB : have a license.

Mike, don't be that guy that blocks/obstructs others from passing...you just do you my dude, and keep the petty KAREN antics off the roads!! Don't be a road Karen, Mike!🙄

Yeah, Tesla‘s yoke was the worst idea I’ve ever seen in automotive. the first time I looked at it I was like OK steer by wire and when I found out that it wasn’t and it was just a yoke bolted on regular steering wheel I was shocked. Of course, I will be getting the rZ with the yolk

No range, hideous exterior and overpriced.

Tesla model y drag coefficient: 0.23. This glorified Toyota: 0.29

Piece of s*** is what comes to my mind after watching this.

Not pretty

Ugly looking, shorter range than even the Hyundai and Kia EVs, not particularly fast for an ev. What a swing and a miss from Toyota/Lexus.

Absolute failure of a product

Great car. Another terrible review. I believe the reason why Lyn and Mike are so bad at reviewing car's is because there trying to live through Micah Muzio characteristics. Its just not possible. Micah has a wit and sarcastic humor, which is part of his personality. He probably doesn't even know when he is doing it. Lyn and Mike are trying impersonate a characteristic of Micah, and it comes off goofy, trying to hard, and a detraction from the review. I thought over time Lyn and Mike would find there own path, but both of them are still trying to impersonate Micah humor. JMO!

Poor Lexus so desperate to stay relevant that they pull these pathetic marketing stunts like this. This isn’t impressing anyone. They’re only embarrassing themselves. Mike, I feel bad that you had to waste your time with this ev. You fell victim to Lexus marketing. You could have used that time to drive evs they are ACTUALLY competitive. Not this.

yoke is the dumbest thing ever!!!! Lexus what is up with that cheap ass looking "digital" gauge cluster?!?! Those driver side AC vents are too high and looks terrible. 200 mile range for $60k+ is pretty bad!! Also Mike the battery size has nothing to do with the HP, lol.
