2022 Lexus RZ

EVs have been thin on the ground for Toyota, but that's all about to change as the brand begins its all-electric rollout.

Lexus will bring its first dedicated electric vehicle to Australia next year, with the RZ450e confirmed for a mid-2023 arrival.

The Lexus RZ may share a platform with the more mainstream Toyota bZ4X but it looks markedly different inside and out.

Lexus has revealed its first ground-up EV, called the RZ. It has a steering yoke, dimming glass roof, and two-motor AWD.

Lexus' first dedicated electric vehicle will feature familiar design cues for the brand... plus a wild new steering yoke.

Ahead of its full launch next year, the exterior of the Lexus RZ electric crossover was unveiled overnight at a massive Toyota event.
