AutoExec Summary

The Lexus RZ450e is the brand’s first true electric vehicle, designed from the ground up. Priced from $123,000, it’s available in Luxury and Sports Luxury trims. The RZ offers spacious interiors, a 71.4kWh battery for up to 400km range, and a suite of modern tech including Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. However, it lacks some advanced safety features and innovation found in competitors. While it meets the expectations of a luxury electric SUV, it doesn’t surpass them, making it a solid but not groundbreaking choice in the EV market.

Brands mentioned: Lexus, BMW, Audi, Mercedes-Benz, Tesla, Jaguar, Genesis, Polestar, Volvo, Kia, Hyundai, Nissan, Toyota.
