Lexus shows off a sneak preview of its first electric vehicle

The Model S Plaid’s steering yoke has received mixed reviews. Consumer Reports says that while its design may provide a better view of the sedan’s gauge cluster, it may not be worth foregoing the presence of anything to cling onto if the driver loses their grip during a high-speed turn. Additionally, there is a noticeable absence of padding to alleviate pressure during lengthy trips to consider.

Lexus is lagging behind the competition to electrify the automobile industry. The business announced last year that it will debut 20 new vehicles by 2025, but only ten of those will be all-electric, hybrid, or hydrogen-powered. However, Toyota declared a few months later that Lexus would become an all-electric brand by 2035.

There are still many unanswered questions, but Toyota has stated that it hopes to produce a Lexus sports vehicle with a “cruising range” of 700 kilometres (434 miles) and a 0-60mph acceleration time of less than two seconds. Whether that is the RZ or something else is unknown.
