CarTell take
We haven't driven the RZ yet. On paper, if you are novated leasing, stick to the RZ500e: the RZ550e F Sport sits over the LCT threshold. Try the steer-by-wire yoke on the F Sport before committing, since it changes how the car steers. The RZ600e is limited to nine cars through eight dealers.
Why consider it
- Price cuts of up to $42,000 earlier this year mean the RZ500e Luxury and Sports Luxury now sit under the fuel efficient LCT threshold and qualify for the FBT exemption, with 280kW AWD as standard.
What to know
- WLTP range of 420km to 460km is short against newer European and Chinese rivals, and DC charging tops out at 150kW.
Who it suits
Lexus loyalists moving to their first EV, and novated lease buyers who want a premium electric SUV with dual motor AWD under the tax thresholds.
