First time for car leasing and looking back at the process, everything went smoothly. Quite a lot of paperwork to sign before getting a delivery date but i suppose it’s all part of the course. David Harding was very helpful from start to finish and helped me with all the questions that i had. I can’t speak highly enough of David. The car was delivered by a very helpful and pleasant man ( Jim ) , who showed me all that i needed to know about the car. I would recommend select car leasing for all aspects and i have no negatives .

Lexus has had a go at an electric car before — the underwhelming UX300e — but the RZ 450e SUV is the first step in the Japanese brand’s march towards full electrification.
Lexus has said that by 2030 its entire model line-up will be fully electric, and the RZ is the first of its models to be built on a dedicated EV platform. It’s the same e-TNGA platform on which the Toyota BZ4X sits, but Lexus differentiates the RZ from its mainstream cousin with a more powerful drivetrain and more demanding construction methods and processes.
Sitting between the NX and RX hybrid SUVs, the RZ is pitched directly at premium models like the BMW iX3, Audi Q8 e-tron and Mercedes-Benz EQC, and promises 313bhp, all-wheel-drive and up to 270 miles of range.
