The Interior Of The 2023 Lexus RZ 450e Reveals A Yoke-Style Steering Wheel

Finally, Lexus has confirmed that the long-awaited 2023 RZ 450e will be unveiled on April 20, 2022. Lexus also released the first photograph of the electric crossover's interior, which revealed a Tesla-style steering wheel. The RZ 450e was first shown as the predecessor of Lexus' electric line in December 2021, with fresh images of the production-ready body arriving in February 2022, but this is the first time we've been able to see the cabin.

This car's most noticeable feature is its yoke-style steering wheel, but we also spotted its tiny digital instrument cluster and huge touchscreen on the center console. The high-mounted center console and the luxurious-looking materials are also readily apparent.

The appearance is more subdued than the concept, but it still has an athletic. The Lexus RZ 450e will be the company's first electric vehicle model, sharing the Toyota group's e-TNGA platform with the bZ4x and Subaru Solterra. To compete successfully with the Tesla Model Y, the Ford Mustang Mach-E, the Audi Q4 e-tron Sportback, and the Genesis GV60, the model will be positioned upscale in comparison to its siblings in terms of style, technological features, and power.

Dual electric motors with all-wheel drive will be used in conjunction with Lexus' innovative Direct4 technology.
The concept included a 90 kWh lithium-ion battery with a range of 373 miles, so we may anticipate the real vehicle to have similar characteristics. On April 20, we'll discover more about the Lexus RZ 450e, which will make its digital premiere.
