Would you swap your steering wheel for a yoke? YES or NO? 👇🥚

I will never understand why people chose larger wheels when it means significantly lower range and a worse ride.

Small wheels on a big car can look out of place. I'd go for the 20" wheels on this car. Comfort is less of an issue these days, manufacturers have worked it out - the suspension on my BMW iX3 is s class level comfort on 20" wheels.

I have owned modern luxury cars and classic luxury cars. The classic cars have a much smoother ride than the modern ones. Modern cars all try to be sporty, hence they have large wheels with low-profile tyres.

The variable steer by wire with a wheel for me please. Getting out of my apartments cramped underground car park, requires 4 or 5 rounds of going lock to lock (depending on how I parked) within a minute. Its a serious amount of arm twirling, that I’d rather do away with.

Why is the battery so small? I don't understand Toyota's reasoning for some of these products. I get they're betting on Hydrogen but there's no point putting out half hearted attempts.

This is the best design interior exterior for Lexus so far. other suv brands blunt design big screen over design Nothing inside just a wide screen.😅 White seats like maternity hospital. The down side here is the miles range. They should do 300-400 miles range. Same as their hybrid( Toyota Lexus) Has over 300-450 miles range. I do like to change my hybrid if the have that range. I travel far places throughout Europe. I’m 100% confident for my hybrid because has a over 400 miles range( 450). Summer or winter. Perfect car for me. No waiting of charging plans ahead looking charging stations or parkings with charging stations. The hybrid can handle both world.

The idea to use IR heaters is inspired...! I hope that catches on with other manufacturers offering those, too - maybe they could even be fitted in the headlining, to 'wash' heat down on to users from above...? "Heat the human", as we keep being told...! 👍

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

Hello. Thanks for your review. A lot of people don't need longer range and then it' nice that you don' need to drive around with 200 kg batteries you don't need. Yes, 18 wheel make a much better car, better comfort, less noise and longer range.

The review is good but why give that clickbaity title? It's terrible. Nothing about the yoke in the Lexus is like the implementation in Teslas (the latter is just a regular mechanical steering wheel with a yoke instead of a steering wheel). And I'm honestly tired of hearing about Tesla. This Lexus has enough unique features to stand on its own without having Tesla in the headline. And the benefit of steer by wire is it's more efficient and doesn't require so much turning. That may be the future of steering.

I'm no Lexus expert, but (to me) the grille looks every bit as large as previous incarnations; and "ugly as". I would also argue that having to spend another 4k for the inclusion of radiant heaters to extend the range is some serious back-handed logic when you've now spent a chunky 66k.

Nice car but it needs to do 300m+ Looks like the driver is using his shoulders to steer using the yoke which looks very uncomfortable. Why doesn't such a big car have a glove box .. very useful for hiding small valuables safely. This one is not for me.

This RZ looks way better than the BMW and better build, material quality comes as standard with a Lexus. I think it is a nice car but the battery pack is to small and the range, good for daily driving but a disadvantage for Lexus imago wise. The RZ had very very bad reviews in Europe due to the focus on the average range. Huge imago damage for Lexus and Toyota, will cost them billions to restore the once green imago of Toyota......

Just one more EV with a poor range and slow charging, what folk want is a real world range of 450 miles even in the cold and 10-90% charge in 15 minuets plus a Tesla topping charging network, but the truth is Car manufactures don't care about charging once you have left the showroom, except of course Tesla.
