Lexus RZ500e Dynamic review: out of the ether and suddenly a contender
Ever wondered what happens when a premium EV gets a massive price cut without a facelift? The Lexus RZ500e Dynamic was once the $151,900 flagship RZ, now it’s the entry model—slashing $42k to $109,900, swapping the 450e badge for 500e (cheaper now) and sitting under the RX.
Inside, classic Lexus quality shines: plush carpets, physical buttons mixed with tricky tech. Under the skin, recalibrated battery/motors boost performance, with standard or steer-by-wire steering options.
Flaws: exterior barely changed (only rear badge differs), cabin tech takes time to master, no rear climate control. Would you overlook these for the big cut and solid build? Drop your thoughts!
