TOKYO — The new RZ crossover propels Lexus into the all-electric age with a sporty family-friendly rocket that combines acceleration and responsive driving dynamics with everyday utility.
The dynamically styled midsize offering, unveiled online Wednesday, debuts a new design look for Toyota Motor Corp.'s premium brand and foreshadows a wave of Lexus electric vehicles that are on the way.
Among the glimpses of tomorrow is a new yoke-style steering wheel that connects to Lexus' first steer-by-wire system — although the system's introduction to the U.S. is still under consideration.
