.............................................................
This is the all-new Lexus RZ! It’s the first Lexus designed to be purely electric, even if it does borrow lots of parts from Toyota along with a few ideas from Tesla! So let’s take a closer look…
There’ll be no mistaking the RZ for a different Lexus! There’s no grille upfront (strange for a Lexus, we know…), while the rest of the car is covered in sharp creases to really help it stand out. It’s got some fins at the back of the roof, and we think the two-tone paint job is pretty slick.
Step inside, and you’re greeted by a 14” touch screen infotainment system. But that’s not what you’ll notice straight away - that will be the yoke steering wheel! That’s right, Lexus has clearly borrowed some ideas from Tesla with this one, although the new electric steer by wire system should make the RZ’s yoke much easier to use than Tesla’s!
When it comes to power, the RZ is equipped with two electric motors as standard, which will provide around 313hp. Lexus also claims the RZ should hit 60mph in 5.6 seconds - not bad for a small SUV!
We’re expecting the RZ to cost from around £50,000, but will it be worth it? Mat’s taking a look and sharing everything you need to know!

Which looks better - the RZ, or the Model Y? VOTE BELOW!
VOTE: Lexus RZ
VOTE: Tesla Model Y
Lexus forever
RZ
Lexus 👌👍
I like how impartial Mat is. Mercedes EQC at 80K no problem BMW iX at over 100k no problem, but when Lexus trues to sell You a luxury EV for 60 grand it is a No-No. Great impartial journalism in a flesh. Cheers Mat. 👍😉
All car reviewers on TH-cam are paid shills
Seriously badge snobbing.
Although none of these cars look elegant or even good.
But you know that with a BMW and a Benz you buy the heritage, the brand name, the quality? Lexus is just a better Toyota.
@@famaccount479 lol Germans and quality. Lexus has the best seats and highest manufacturing tolerance and reliability.
@@rohithramesh9204 pretty sure Dacia takes that crown I mean have you seen their Duster? Impeccable!
The only ones who keep thinking in “beating Tesla” are automotive journalists. The rest of us have moved on and see widening offering of EV’s that fill the market. Most people don’t need 400+ HP or 500km of range. Proof of that is in the sales.
Well said.
I wanted to comment something like this but you've worded it perfectly! I definitely see more Kia/Hyundai EVs, and I've even been seeing as many BMW iX3s as Teslas lately.
Tesla are absolutely killing everyone when it comes to EV sales. The range is why. Take the RS Etron at 70mph on the motorway. It's range drops to around 180 miles. Industry estimates have them 7 years in front in terms of battery efficiency.
You said it, proof is in sales and Tesla is killing everyone in that department.
@@TeacherToolkitDemo no one need sh#tty amount of range which will take you to charge all day like Tesla. There are tons of reasonable priced ev there on market right now. What really Tesla is attracting buyers with their efficient charging network. What won't be a case in next 2 years where the changing network will be similar for other manufacturers as well. Toyota will kill Tesla end of 2030 with their light years more reliable evs and better patent like solid state battery. Not mentioning their sheer experiences in passenger cars.
Somehow it suits Lexus as a brand to produce electric cars👌
❤️Alright 👍.. thanks for the review and comment
Feel free to text me ..📌.
Yep. It just makes more sense. EV is quieter for smooth and effortless driving. I believe they said they will go completely electric 2035
You mean Toyota
Lexus quality and reliability made in Japan is unbeatable .. not an F-1 type of acceleration but quality makes all at the end over reaching the office for commute in 10 seconds.
Yeah i have an RC and even in it's 6th year all it needed was new wiper blades lol
@@DEVILTAZ35 now if that doesn’t scream pure quality. i don’t know what does. People who think there is anything even close to Lexus quality probably don’t know crap about cars.
DIsagree. You've heard about the debacle of the Toyota BZ4X, right? Also, >10 million Toyotas/Lexus recalled due to faulty accelerators etc. I've owned two Toyotas and nothing but trouble.. Toyota and Honda were great in the 80's and 90's but not as great as they used to be IMO..
Given Lexus is one of the finest car manufacturers on the planet it’s fit and finish as well as overall quality will be remarkable. Can’t wait to see it.
Lol
@@sleepyjoescumbag1663 You've obviously never owned one. Best brand I've ever driven, hands down. Reliability is second to none.
Finally a good looking electric car!
❤️Alright 👍.. thanks for the review and comment
Feel free to text me ..📌
Lucid is also nice
Chevy Equinox Ev looks great
It looks ugly and funky as all Lexus cars.
For me ev6
It’s nice to see auto makers design full electric vehicles that look like cars and not too futuristic.
Most car companies designs EVs very futuristic because of aerodynamics
@@yungboicontigo9278 yes. Aerodynamics looked quite advanced on Lexus RZ.
Lol you and me are so opposite.. I love cars that look futuristic
@@franki3Ru550 opposite but in a good way.
yet with that kind of steering wheel? xD
Cool looking car. The steer-by-wire steering is interesting. I'd love to try it.
I hope that the lane keeping assist doesn't just steer the wheels when it wants to correct you, but actually even turns the steering wheel for realistic feedback. I couldn't bare having a front car's wheels turn separately from the steering wheel.
The steering look very cheap and the design they copy from fomm car
Why would they make the simple act of steering more complex
Let's hope they didn't hire ex-Boing developers 😬
One faulty sensor and a not so perfect software update and the car gonna go into full steering angle during fast travel. Yikes.
Not giving the driver any way to steer the car if the computer runs into any error seems like asking for trouble. I mean not even aircrafts are immune to such issues and they are tested much more rigorously than some random cars.
The steer by wire is actually old technology. Some old Infiniti vehicles like the Q50 had this system...the main complaint was the synthetic and disconnected feel of the steering. That synthetic feel was also because of the drastic change between the different driving modes. But this is lexus...they tend to know what they are doing...
Betteridge's law of headlines is an adage that states:
"Any headline that ends in a question mark can be answered by the word *no* ."
I think it's much cooler than the Tesla Model y.
After the new 7 series I almost lost my hope in car design. This Lexus has restored it!
Did you see the fenders?
Just shut up. The 7 series is gorgeous. You all focus on a BMW whenever they release a new car. BMW is unique. It has its own character. That's why it is the biggest luxury car manufacturer. It is also the most innovative company for a reason.
@@hassanger8128 simp more. That shit is hideous
@@hassanger8128 yea but the back registeration plate is way too low
@@hassanger8128 the exterior of the 7 series imo is really ugly like what I was expecting but I really love the interior especially in the back seat where they put a TV. I’m still fascinated by the fact that a car company put something like that in the car
Finally true reliable EV from Lexus
Yes I got it reliability is always there
Lol Realiability in evs
Waaaaaaay to soon to call that one. Can't say a new model is "reliable" until we see some with 100,000k plus at least.
@@twowheelpilot let's wait and see you but y'all know Lexus is known for reliability.
@@twowheelpilot if Lexus can make cars with engine so reliable why can't they make electric cars reliable as well.
Very interesting. This'll be a good one to drive. One major thing that'll make this one so much better than the Tesla is that the Lexus will be far more reliable
th-cam.com/video/Iv2Kxhw8zsM/w-d-xo.html
(and you don't give your money to someone that does not know what a subway is..)
i mean you cant tell its going to be more reliable on a thing thats isnt out yet ,but the 10year or 1million kililometer warranty on the powertrain its a sign of confidence
Tesla have just Brand name like Apple 🍎, but there is a lot of companies, who makes better then those
how do you know that? just because of the badge?
"Play it safe and get a Tesla Model Y" Playing it safe is actually getting a good and reliable car like Lexus.
Tesla has pretty bad build quality.
There is literally no way to play it safer than buying a Toyota/Lexus.
Tesla design is dull.
Theres no need to have such a boring looking electric car anymore.
@@ytsux9259 The "bad build quality" mantra of tesla haters is old, sad, and long debunked. Their quality is fine, and the customer satisfaction is the best in the industry.
@@ColinFox source: because I said so, trust me
The grill is integrated beautifully
A thoroughly good looking car! I do wish they would offer the outside rearview cameras from the ES as an option. I feel like they would fit very nicely with the RZ’s futuristic, high-tech style.
The main reason they dont do the side mirrors camera its because its still illegal in america wich is their best market ,so its probably not worth it
@@sergiopereira9546 yes,that would make sense. To the best of my knowledge the ES is the only model which has this option in some regions. To me that seems a slightly odd choice given ES has a fairly mature average buyer. You’d think more youthful buyers of vehicles such as the UX would be more receptive to this modern technology. I haven’t actually tried it myself but I do like technology and gadgets (despite being 51😉).
th-cam.com/video/YThNnGgZqcc/w-d-xo.html Top 10 floppa.
@@sergiopereira9546 and also normal mirrors are better then camera mirrors. I really think those are very weird
@@sergiopereira9546 Lexus RZ seems like a scaled down Supra RZ due to the same "RZ" name on it.
Nice looking car the lexus, don't mind thae steering yoke .great video.
The car is like a new Boeing. Has fly by wire and a yoke
Hopefully it has no MCAS
@@glorf1234 it kinda has it with the “safety features” of the not turning to keep it safe
Thanks !! Would like to know about Interior space.
I would like to see a review of the Bz4x please!
"...it actually borrows loads of bits from Toyota" AH yes the floor is made of floor
Lexus is Toyota budy🤦
@@amgc63s32 That was the joke... 🤦♂️
Mat thank you so much for this insane video
I own a Lexus RX400h and love it. I’d buy an RZ in a minute.
Depreciating asset. Buy TSLA.
It's much smaller though isn't it ?
@@grahamstefaan worse depreciating junk
It actually looks like a car so I love it
By what terms though? You mean you love the yoke steering, the awkward sharp boxy shape, and the ugly bonnet?
@@aminfozdar It looks like one of those futuristic cars from 80's magazine
I concur, or like a sporty hatchback it's so sleek
@@aminfozdar the bonnet of Lexus RZ seems similar to Chevy Blazer.
this looks great! hopefully we get a RZF at somepoint...
Lexus RZ looks awesome
Also Nice sound track
Yoke is brilliant for leg space, design quite dynamic and attractive. Backup PSU for steering shows they care.
Shame front is still as big as a wall, and range is only good for city driving. Hope they improve those by the ICE cutoff date.
Well Lexus has ACTUAL SUVs and not some hatchback minivans with 0 ground clearance.
So yeah i think Lexus will beat them for people interested in SUVs.
Yeah, they have two actual SUVs - neither of which is sold in the UK.
Plus it’s just a way better looking car 😂
@@AoyagiAichou or even Spain.
@@Thebootyrater sure. But still worse compared to Supra RZ.
Never forget that Toyota makes the land cruiser and the hilux, arguably the best 4x4's in existence. They know how to make a real off roader.
I don't understand the need to reinvent the steering wheel.
I’d take this over a Tesla cuz of the interior and the comfort
That is a fair point. However, I think that the Tesla interiors are more comfortable but look less so. I'd always get the Tesla because once you live with an EV you realise how much better Tesla's are altogether. I won't try to convince you as I know that won't work but I have had a couple of friends who bought other brand EVs and who then, after living with them for a while, just wished they'd gone for the Tesla instead.
@@kevinaub You also have some pretty good points but you gotta remember that Tesla is still a relatively new conpany, their build quality and reliability is much worse then Lexus. You don’t want bad reliability on expensive technology.
@@topriskydisky5109 TBH yes when I bought my Model S 5 years ago the panel gaps were noticeable and it did bother me a bit, compared to my previous ICE Lexus that had none. However, that perception is only skin-deep. While I had to take my lexus in many times to get parts serviced an repaired, I took my Model S in zero times in 5.5 years of ownership. The only thing I changed were tyres over its ownership. Now that I've lived with a Tesla and came to appreciate the real reliability I've put in an order for the Model Y. Man if you see the newer Model Y and 3 that they deliver today, they've got build quality equivalent to german brands. It took Tesla about 15 years to begin life and overtake or equal legacy brands that have had decades and centuries to refine their production processes. Today it's safe to say that they're much superior, even when compared to Lexus. I'll give lexus credit on the materials and craftsmanship though but I would not trade it for Tesla reliability today
The 2014 Infiniti Q50S Hybrid had steer by wire. It worked beautifully and it was far less effected by road imperfections and water.
The rearview mirror/tv screen is a great feature (already in the 2019 RAV4 Limited) it has 2 main advantages. The viewing angle is user adjustable and your head can be in any position to view the entire screen. A conventional mirror requires your head to be in one position to view the mirror correctly.
Although I would never buy an all electric car, these are good options on a plug-in hybrid.
Mat you and Yianni are my favourite car reviewers and drag racers ever and I love you both so much
Seems to be spot on but that range isn’t great. I am still waiting for the progress in battery technology that doesn’t compromise high performance EVs. Let us hope that it is within the next few years.
Lexus is waiting for the solid state battery
I accually like the yoke it just makes sense but the sides of the steering wheel should be a lil higher
The facelift NX looks proper smart imho. And this looks flipping brill!
Honestly thought that it would look weird in single tone paint but it still looks great... better than the model y, even though, I think we should be comparing this to an SUV/crossover in terms of looks.It has that big crossover type look.
❤️Alright 👍.. thanks for the review and comment
Feel free to text me ..📌.
Great video, this RZ car is a refreshing interpretation of a decent modern package, from the interior, the exterior, the dual motor apparatus and the "toned-down" grill. The pointiness in the design is more tolerable than the beaver elsewhere, and it looks like those car manufacturers are set with their choices.
Pixel bot huh??
Looks pretty cool. Range is super short though and charging is probably too slow. But get passed that and it looks like a nice product.
Wow another actually good looking electric car
There's a lot of good-looking EVs now in my opinion
In my opinion it looks like one of the best at least in the luxury segment, it looks like a sedan from one angle and a sporty hatchback versus the Model Y looking like a pregnant tadpole.
I am not really into SUV's of any kind but this actually looks good in that colour.
After decades of a steering wheel working perfectly why the F are manufacturers deciding to use something so obviously inferior!?!?!!?
Until now, there was no electric car worth 2 cents, Lexus is about to show the rest of these fellows how a car should be done..
Taycan ?
@@catinthehat5140 but it wasnt a luxury car.
@@catinthehat5140 the Taycan, like any other VW group car, is one I couldn't own with the confidence that it isn't sitting on a major electrical failure down the road like a hapless & hopeless VW Passat or anything along that line..

This steering is interesting.I want to try driving.
Looks like F1 steering wheel.
@@naha3251 You don't want an F1 car on the road. The reason F1 cars have steering like that is so you can focus and hit the apex's perfectly. If you want to drive a car normally this is very uncomfortable and not worth it at all.
Why? It's just harder to use for no benefit?
@@naha3251 and a new Tesla Model S
@@alec4025 that is very untrue m8
Lexus will beat Tesla for sure with one thing at least... Reliable!!!
Reliable at what?
And build quality
@@aminfozdar reliable for everyday use? Dude what kind of qns is that?
@@aminfozdar building more reliable cars than Tesla
@@aminfozdar more reliable then any auto maker
Omg how is this even possible? A good looking electric car ? This is impossible
The i7 is the most beautiful EV so far
@@hassanger8128 Interior yes, exterior is ugly
For me this Lexus interior looks so bad…
@@studiobdsj7629 Yeah. All koreans hating lexus.
@@KT-ub8lp haha I like it. Really lexus Hybrid? Super 👍 but may be not in electric
Did I miss the size - how’s backseats legroom vs Tesla Y?
Nice going Lexus 👍👍
I have two lexus but I’m selling them for this one
This new Lexus RZ is such a cool and futuristic looking car with insane performance
Definitely looks cool but Insane performance? Lmfao. It has less power than any standard Lexus using a 20 year old 3.5L V6, gets crap range, and charges at a slow 150 kw when others are hitting 200+. It’s not just mediocre performance when compared to EVs, it’s mediocre performance compared with anything with 4 wheels.
I think the RZ hits all the right marks but performance wise it's not going to be the most amazing things. Will 300hp be enough? Absolutely, considering other EVs have that and more but they will have electric motor issues and lose range in the battery after about 3 to 4 years while Toyota/Lexus will surpass that.
I wish Matthew makes a review video of Subaru Solterra & Toyota bZ4 soon.
Matt can you please do a review on the 2022 Cadillac CT5-V? I’ll appreciate that a lot😁
I would always take a lexus over any tesla lol, yes even their first full electric one.
Lexus are the most boring cars I have EVER driven. I'd take the Tesla over the Lexus ANY day
@@kevinaub then , enjoy repairing your tesla with mechanic who will take 20K for repair your battery cells
Yoke?why not delete paddles for feet and put all functions on a joy stick just like playing a racing game?drive by fingers LOL
How far does it go for miles please?
Thanks
The two fins (1:22) on the roof Mat, are taken from the Lexus LF-1 Limitless Concept actually 😉
Finally an eletric car that will be reliable i can’t wait !!!!
wait so Tesla is not reliable? lol
This actually looks pretty good, even with a big grille 😅😃👍. But that yoke steering wheel though 🤔. I think Ford's Mercury brand tried making one of those in the 1960s (way before Tesla and Lexus) :O
I assume it will be optional.
th-cam.com/video/YThNnGgZqcc/w-d-xo.html Top 10 floppa.
The yoke is an option
@@scanspeak00 yes. But for some people this is mandatory.
At Least it doesn't need 400 degrees turning of the yoke like a crappy Tesla lol
at least the Lexus will have properly aligned body panels and will be far more reliable. Consumer Reports gave the Model X a 1 out of 5 score, which tells you all you need to know
electric car other than tesla:- exists
mat:- wouldnt that make you, a tEsLa beater?
“A special knee heater”
You realise cars have had lap facing climate vents for over 40 years right?
Good journalisting again there, Mat 👌🏻
"They" haven't had them just because a few examples have been sold with it. I can only think of the old chevys actually
❤️Alright 👍.. thanks for the review and comment
Feel free to text me ..📌
looks nice this one could be rx replacement or completely new lineup
The RZ will slot below the next Gen RX I hear will be offered as a Plug-in. Lexus has something planned which will most likely replace the RX in the near future and is a 7-seater.
@@matthewalexis Yes I believe that is it, thank you for the clarification.
I must say the outlook it is identical to the Mazda C-X3
Awesome video Mat!😸
Absolutely love the design 😁😁
The voice assistant is the “Amazon Alexus!” 😂
People praising Lexus on social media yet no one will ever buy them will always be funny to me
It's astonishing to see manufacturers trying to reinvent the wheel and failing.
You'll never know man, but it's practical in my opinion because you move the wheel less.
Another BEV for the luxury sector. What the BEV market needs it's more affordable cars as the Dacia Spring.
Wow it’s a Lexus SUV that actually looks great
Very good effort it’s sad it makes no profit when sold,
I love this new Lexus RZ
It's worth buying this new Lexus RZ
Looking sharp!
3:00 BRAVO!! 👏👏👏 That's how you implement a yoke, like a video game controller. That's the solution 👍 theory is good, hope the practical implementation works.

Hey Mat can you drag race a Bugatti Chiron Super Sport against a Rimac Nevera with Yianni
Nice video , keep it up mat....
*January 16 2021* (Audi Rs6 vs Urus)
Yanni confirms foot-race between him and Matt saying "Coming soon to CarWow"
I need this footage.
Is it the size of the RX or NX?
This car so Amazing!, i hope they have option for 7 seats.
Lexus are designing their cars way more better then BMW these days.....😓😓
Wait if the battery’s flat then the car won’t run so how would you steer anyways ?
Idk if I'd like the steering thing. I much prefer the physical connection between my hands and the front wheels.
Really like the design. Something fresh
Exterior looks great ,,I’m not sure about that interior , looks dull
yep, interior looks dated
If the RX 450h ends I will buy this but convert the yolk to a normal wheel
Will it deliver?
I am no really a fan of all electric but swaying towards it. I love my hybrids and that took me some time to get to understand as a automotive technician and husband. My wife drives a Lexus CT200h. Probably the most reliable vehicle I can still repair minus the headgasket repair as it’s pretty much a Toyota Prius motor. Long story short. This was a well thought out nice review. Lexus is going to change the game with this new line up of electric vehicles coming. Being it shares with the Toyota Bz and Subaru partnership. That alone helps the consumer have confidence that this isn’t just one small company where you can service the car if it breaks they are and will be prepared to handle them. Unlike Tesla I can’t even find a Tesla dealer anywhere near my home. My relative got locked into his Tesla when all the electricity failed that was a scary shock. So if it breaks at least I can bring it to the nearest Lexus dealership. Unlike all the other brands. I did hear you mention the rear roof being similar to the Lotus. As much as I love and own a few Lotus vehicles and want the electric car Lotus has built I won’t get one. Due to of the low dealership service centers, practically non existent, and unavailable in my area. Lexus will be successful. The next Luxury EV I have my eyes on. It’ll have to keep my wife and family safe on the road. None of these crazy self driving unreliable stuff. That drives me nuts. The steering wheel and turning radius is neat.
@SwissnessVd it’s all good no offense taken. You can tell that to my cousin who got locked in his Model X for a good 30 minutes freaking out I had to talk him into staying calm. Wait until you have a loved one calling you…His windows wouldn’t power up as well it was dead so he was sweating his head off in Vegas at 113 degree F weather in the middle of know where. The inside door mechanical handle did not operate on the “driver side” having him to climb out the passenger side. On top of many other issues I won’t even start. So call me b.s. hope this doesn’t happen to anyone else. I’ll never let my wife or kids drive one.
This is worth it🔥
1:37 "That wheel, it's a yoke" -Fernando Alonso (probably)
I don’t like the front, but I like the rest of it, the easy interior and the two tone. I trust Toyota/lexus, gladly give them my money
Lexus quality😎🇯🇵
Your consistency and quality of content never disappoints!
Your consistency in spamming this bs never disappoints!
If they can get a little more range, and faster super charging it would be perfect. Same for the bz4x.
Looks so much better than a oval shaped model y
Love the car. I would prefer a more roundish steering wheel though
Toyota, then, now, forever
Lexus now starting to get rid of physical interior buttons now. That’s a real shame. Thought they’d persevere as opposed to what other manufacturers are doing.
❤️Alright 👍.. thanks for the review and comment
Feel free to text me ..📌.
@Jason S Yes a shame they following the crowd and not thinking about what customers actually want.
Why such a small battery. Was hoping in the 90kw range. Hopefully a fast follow.
