Video Summary

The following is a summary of the key points and findings from the YouTube video review of the electric car:
- The Lexus RZ has toned down its large grill design from previous models, opting for a more subtle approach with a spindle-shaped nose.
- The car's “ether blue metallic” color was inspired by blue skies. A “sonic copper” finish is available with highly compressed metal flakes with pigment to give a deeper, more lustrous finish.
- The 18-inch alloys provide a WTLP range of 273 miles, but going for 20-inch wheels reduces the range to 245 miles.
- The iX3 and Genesis GV70 can do more miles on a charge than the Lexus RZ.
- Lexus guarantees 70% battery capacity for 10 years, which is higher than the 8-year guarantees on other cars.
- Charging: The car can pull up to 150kW, resulting in a 10-80% charge in 30 minutes, and 7kW on a wall box for 10 hours to go from 0-100%.
- The RZ has lots of luggage space and a power tailgate comes standard.
- There's loads of rear seat space and headroom.
- There are infrared heaters to keep you warm and there’s a radiant heated seat, which all use less power than heating the whole interior.
- It does 0-62 miles/hour in 5.3 seconds.
- There is quite a bit of body lean during driving, but is quick and easy to use.
- Its starting price is 62,600.
- It has an excellent drive and handling, despite the power.
