Lexus has launched its first fully-electric car in Australia, the RZ, since 2023. The vehicle has been in the market for over a year, but recent reports suggest it may be gaining renewed interest. The RZ, part of Lexus's push into the electric vehicle sector, has been available in Australia through select dealerships and online platforms.
Initial sales figures for the RZ were modest, with many buyers opting for more established electric models from competitors like Tesla and Hyundai. However, recent consumer reviews and market analysis indicate a growing curiosity around the RZ’s performance and design. Some buyers are now considering the RZ as a viable alternative to other electric vehicles, particularly due to its luxury features and brand reputation.
The RZ’s availability in Australia has also been influenced by government incentives for electric vehicle purchases, which have encouraged more consumers to explore new options. While the RZ remains a niche choice, its recent reevaluation suggests it could play a more significant role in Australia’s evolving electric vehicle market. (illawarramercury.com.au)
