From Alex on Autos.
Lexus has been slow to the EV game but when it’s stepped forward it has been a noticeably more interesting product than Toyota offers. The brand new TZ follows that same formula providing more power, refinement, and attractive design while still capturing all the practicality you would want in a family friendly 3 row. You’ll be able to get up to 300 miles of driving range as well as a 402 horsepower AWD system but that’s not what’s most interesting to me. Lexus says this experience was intended to be a "driving lounge" and they utilize rear wheel steering in a way I haven’t heard anyone else talk about before. What’s that feel like? We’ll have to wait until we can get behind the wheel but while this feature may be a standout in the segment the ~150kw DC charging speeds are still a step behind a lot of the competition.
Here’s why we don’t talk about reliability much: https://youtu.be/WicesuUvTXo
