2023 Lexus RZ450e POV Drive Review /// Range Anxiety is Real!

Well folks, I got a chance to drive the 2023 Lexus RZ 450e for a week, took it on a 400 mile road trip, and experienced pubic charging networks. And well, I would hold off on this $67k attempt. My RZ Luxury tester was finished in a gorgeous Ether paint with an equally nice Thunderstorm & Macadamia NuLux Ultrasuede interior. So what’s SO wrong here?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🏁 @Alllcarnews Spec Sheet: Powering the RZ is a 71.4kWh battery pack of which just around 63kWh are usable. It gets dual motors for Direct4 AWD with around 308HP and 321 lb-ft of torque. Now with the 20in wheels I had, the MAX range is 196miles by the EPA.. I barely saw 180miles even with a 2.9kWh/mile average. 🏁 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The build quality and design, while subjective, is solid and fresh, projecting the future of Lexus’s electrification +Unique interior materials, a slick touchscreen, dynamic HUD, and clever radiant heating all are welcome luxuries. -The range unfortunately is unacceptable for the price tag. I also never saw the 150kW charging speeds, with a max around 130kw sustained for just under 20% of a 10-80% charging session. -The severe lack of on board EV data is also a huge miss for such a big company, you can’t even view battery percentage, only a guessometer range estimate. -On my 400 mile roadtrip, I genuinely was afraid to use the climate controls or risk losing 20-30 miles of range. Radiant heating & ventilated seats were handy. Should you buy an RZ? Well maybe with nearly $20k in discounts maybe, and if you only drive locally & are a diehard Lexus fan. Otherwise, I advise elsewhere or to a better suited Lexus Hybrid or PHEV. #lexus #EV #LexusRZ Credit: © Allcarnews Jtecho Media Text/Narration/News by: Allcarnews ___________________________________________________________________ For more news, renders, rumors, spy shots and Allcarnews goodies: FOLLOW⬇️: 📸 Instagram: Instagram.com/alllcarnews 📹   / allcarnews   🙋🏼‍♂️Me: instagram.com/jtecho 🐦Twitter: Twitter.com/alllcarnews 🎁 Shop: https://teespring.com/stores/allcarne... 🏎 An Allcarnews Jtecho Post All original content by Allcarnews is Copyright © 2012-2023.
