Lexus may be a leader in the luxury space when it come to their hybrid offerings, but their EV count stands at just one: the RZ, available as just one model, the RZ 450e.

It is, however, a stunner of a car, sporting aggressive lines and some truly eye-catching colours like Copper and Ether, as well as some two-tone choices. Power is rated at 308 hp, which eclipses the Toyota bZ4X with which it shares a platform by quite a margin.

Kudos to Lucid for grinding it out while so many other EV startups are either failing or getting swallowed up by larger brands.

For Lucid, you have to think the immense variety provided by its single Air model is part of the attraction. Even at base Pure level, the wheel and colour choices and sumptuous interior are enough to turn heads. Upgrading to the top-spec Sapphire model, meanwhile, grants access to a gobsmacking 1,234 hp and 687 km of range.

  • - Lucid Air max range: 824 km
