Lexus shows off its first electric SUV with a series of flashy photos
Toyota's luxury vehicle division Lexus finally has an electric SUV of its own.
Following Toyota's massive unveiling of electric car concepts of all kinds, Lexus has now given a closer look at one of them, the upcoming Lexus RZ 450e.
It's just photos for now, though; Lexus hasn't released any further details or specifications about the car.

Given its looks and size, the Lexus RZ 450e will likely be similar (albeit probably a bit larger) to Toyota's first electric SUV, the bZ4X, which is up for pre-order in Europe and is slated to hit the market in the spring of next year. We know quite a bit about that car, so here's a quick recap: It will come in single or dual motor configurations, with the latter hitting 0-60 in 7.7 seconds. It will be powered by a 71.4 kWh, water-cooled battery that should provide a 450 km range (per WLTP metrics). It'll have an (optional) yoke steering wheel, and an (optional) solar panel roof.
Again, there's no saying whether the Lexus RZ 450e will share some or all of the above specs, but it probably won't stray too far.
Judging from a recent image showing Lexus' entire planned BEV lineup (above), there will be quite a few more reveals in the near future. Hopefully Toyota/Lexus will start giving us some actual info on these cars instead of just pretty pictures.
