That's the discussion this week as Sami and Benjamin review the 2023 Lexus RZ450e EV and the 2023 Lexus NX450h+ PHEV. One has uninspired specs and an unnecessary steering gimmick, while the other has excellent performance and style. Can you guess which is which? 38:12 no This week on the Unnamed Automotive Podcast, our hosts ask "What's good and what's merely adequate?" as they discuss two Lexuses...or is that Lexii? Whatever the plural, the conversation starts with the 2023 Lexus RZ450e, an all-electric crossover with the same platform as the Toyota bZ4x. With polarizing looks, uninspired specs and an unnecessary steering gimmick, our hosts have plenty to talk about, specifically regarding if Lexus put its best effort forward with its first EV. Then the conversation shifts to the brand's first plug-in hybrid, the 2023 Lexus NX450h+, which cribs much of the mechanicals from the Toyota RAV4 Prime, and puts it all into a sexy, high-end body from Lexus. Benjamin suggests that this what it Lexus wants to actually make—rather than its boring, bland EV offerings—and has many reasons to prove his point.
