After Toyota, even Lexus continues to talk about electric: the new RZ450e is an all-new model with a 71.4 kWh battery, real consumption of 16.8 kWh per 100 km and which according to the manufacturer can travel 440 km with a single electric charge. All-wheel drive and absolutely Lexus design that is outlined with a whole series of elements, such as style, but also the technology of the interior, which will allow this RZ 450e to position itself rather high in the electric universe .

The side is clearly furrowed in the front part and then intertwines in the lateral part with the line that starts from the rear area and finally with the tail volume. The technical part is also intriguing, which has two completely new elements to show off: the first is the "Direct4", the four-wheel drive system that instantly balances the drive torque supplied to the front and rear axles, offering optimal traction in all driving conditions , linear acceleration and improved cornering and vehicle attitude, but also contributes to improved ride comfort, particularly for rear seat passengers.

The other is the curious aeronautical-shaped "by wire" steering called "One motion Grip" , which has eliminated the mechanical connection between the steering wheel and the front wheels. Making its debut on the new RZ 450e, it will transform the riding experience by eliminating the need for multiple turns of the wheel so maneuvering is easier and more precise. Low-speed agility and highway stability also benefit. The system makes automatic micro-corrections when driving on uneven surfaces. Finally, very generous screens with Android Auto to manage the car but also to connect to the outside world
