REPRESENTATIVE PHOTOAlan W / PexelsOur verdict
7.8 / 10The RZ is Lexus's first dedicated EV: calm, refined and unmistakably Lexus inside, with the 450e delivering brisk AWD pace. Range is modest versus a Model Y or GV60, and UAE list pricing sits at the upper end of the segment — but buyers get Toyota-grade reliability and a strong dealer network.
Who it's for — Lexus loyalists moving to electric who want familiar brand calm and dealer peace of mind over maximum range or charging speed.
