Toyota unveiled a new Lexus RZ Outdoor Electric Concept SUV at the Shanghai Auto Show 2023. The electric SUV looks more adventurous than any other Lexus electric car yet. This concept is based on the Lexus RZ450e and gets KC lamps on the outer edges of the nose and an LED strip above the windshield. It also has fender flares, a bike carrier at the rear, revised bumpers, and a carbon-fibre spoiler. Lexus wants to display the off-roading modification capabilities of its EV.
