Official images of the new Lexus RZ; mid - sized pure - electric SUV

Recently, the official images of the new US - version Lexus RZ were released. The starting price of the new car in the United States is $45,000 (approximately 324,400 yuan). The new car is positioned as a mid - sized pure - electric SUV.

The new car does not adopt a two - tone body design. However, the front face still cancels the grille, but retains the frame of the spindle - shaped grille. On both sides are the iconic front headlights of Lexus, and the lower part is decorated in black to echo the hidden grille. The entire front hood looks quite dynamic.

The new car features a rather unique spoiler design, and the small ducktail at the rear is also quite eye - catching. The entire rear is designed with through - type taillights, and the rear bumper is also very dynamic.

The interior of the new car is also very distinctive. It includes shift paddles that can simulate an 8 - speed manual transmission gearbox, located above the center console. There are personalized air outlets and a start button, and the instrument panel is somewhat like the cockpit of a fighter jet. The new car uses an embedded central control screen and retains physical buttons. The transmission is designed with a rotary knob, and some physical buttons are also retained.
