Reviews SummaryThe Lexus RX crossover SUV sticks to its core strengths by delivering an abundance of comfort and luxury while returning impressive fuel economy figures. While it may not be as exciting to drive as its rivals and its styling leaves some puzzled, it's a solid pick for those looking to reduce their carbon footprint. Verdict: The RX comes up short on performance and driver engagement, but should appeal to those who prioritize comfort and refinement. | |
Reviews SummaryThe Lexus RZ 450e is the brand’s first-ever dedicated battery-electric vehicle (BEV), with several innovative, Lexus-first features as well. It launches in two trims, Premium and Luxury, both of which we tested on a press program hosted by Lexus. The RZ (for “Radiant Zero”) is built in the same Motomachi, Japan facility which also produced the Lexus LC, LFA, and GS F. | |
