The Lexus RZ 450e might not be the firm's first EV, but it's the first one developed from the ground up with electric power in mind. Has the brand succeded in making a solid EV? We got behind the wheel of a prototype to find out
In terms of its external dimensions, the RZ slots between the NX and RX in the Lexus SUV range, but it gives more rear leg room than either.Or that its twin-motor set-up packs 309bhp and that there’s a 71.4kWh lithium ion battery beneath the floor that should give a range of more than 250 miles. But what you really want to know is what this Lexus doesn’t have, which is a direct connection between your fingertips and terra firma.
What's this unusual steering set-up like? Good question. Another question would be: does it actually work? The short answer to both is ‘interesting’ and ‘yes, up to a point’. Only in the sharp hairpins do you start to really notice its effects, the car feeling much keener to turn-in, almost over-rotating towards the apex for a surprising sense of agility.
Perhaps most surprising was how light and vague the conventional steering felt around the track after a turn in the One Motion Grip car, even if it felt more natural spinning the wheel this way and that through the slalom.
