Lexus, for instance, has offered a quick preview of its first-ever all-electric SUV dubbed Lexus RZ 450e. It took the automaker several years before it managed to fine-tune this vehicle for select users.
According to Engadget, Lexus goes all-in with its One Motion Grup, which offers a high level of dynamism for the drivers. There's a dynamic alteration that you can get to experience once you start the car.
Lexus also aims to put an end to "hand-over" driving which takes place by replacing the current steering wheel with a yoke.
For the last two decades, Lexus has been one of the most prominent firms when it comes to luxury cars. However, this is only the time when it released the first clean-sheet electric car.
While Toyota uses hydrogen for the EV to work, some companies are considering replacing it because of its cost and weight.
If you're looking for a worthy electric vehicle outside Tesla and other brands, then this Lexus RZ 450e could be your choice over other gas-powered options.
For some time, the refining process for the model has been quite long, yet it's still worth the wait in the end, given how comfortable it is to maneuver.
As early as now, you can pre-order the Lexus RZ 450e Premium AWD, which starts at $59,650.
