Lexus was surprisingly generous in the build up to the RZ's reveal as the teaser campaign pretty much showed the whole thing. Nevertheless, we've been waiting for this day to come and discover all the details about the fancier alternative to the Toyota bZ4X. As you can see, it's more than just swapping badges and calling it a day since the upmarket version has its own visual identity.
Where should we start? There's significantly less plastic body cladding compared to the bZ4X and the other sister model, Subaru's Solterra. The greenhouse is different since there's no fixed glass aft the rear doors. Instead, Lexus decided to put a glossy black panel to enable the "floating roof" effect. Speaking of which, all the pillars are black, and so are the side mirrors mounted lower on the doors than they are on the mechanically related SUVs.
