Lexus says the RZ 450e (worst name ever) will be a 2023 model so probably late 2022.

 

Yes, the old RAV4 and old NX were on the New MC platform, while old Highlanders and current aging RX still on the K Platform.

The new RAV4, new NX, and new Highlander all share GA-K platform, with the forthcoming next generation RX awaiting to join GA-K in the second half of next year.

Now this I agree with.

 

BZ4X started production and will start sales in Europe by March, so 3 months from now... they announced pricing in the UK already last week.
We dont know how many are they producing for 2022 yet.

 

Any pics of the interior? I've seen several renderings, but no actual pictures as to what to expect.

 

thanks.....

 

I am guessing that the RZ450e will arrive in 2022 as a 2023 model, with a starting price around $50,000. Lexus RZ450e will offer around 400 hp and 450 lb-ft of torque, feature an approximately 75 -kWh battery pack, and will provide around 300-mile range.

 

LOL there is no way it's getting 300miles of range with a 75kWh pack. The BZ4X has a 71.4kWh pack and will only get 286miles WLTP in AWD form with half the power.

 

yes, kind of. BZ4X uses 66kwh out of that battery pack, . Hopefully for Lexus, they add 80kwh battery pack. That should give it 250 mile range under EPA.
Main "problem" there is them warrantying the battery for 10 years and 90% of capacity left - this means different battery management compared to others (Tesla warranties up to 70%)

 

I think they would just release more of the buffer over time to keep it at 90%. They probably have a really conservative buffer already which is why the rated range is so low. 300 miles of EPA range is perfectly fine for most vehicles.

 

if that's the case, i'll be trading in my 2018 Tesla Model 3 dual motor for it, needs a bigger EV and not liking the Y.

 

Wrong, it's 71.4 kWH for the FWD and 72.8 kWH for AWD.

 

One of the 77kWh Ioniq 5 versions gets over 300 miles so it can be done.

 

I think he was referring specifically to Toyota.
