"The updated 2026 bZ emerged as the best-selling non-Tesla EV in Q1. Sales of the Lexus RZ surged 206% year over year to nearly 4,500 units."
"The RZ now comes with a larger battery pack, faster charging, and a Tesla-style North American Charging Standard (NACS) port fitted straight from the factory."
"The 550e is a stupidly fast family EV that lets you reminisce about the aural drama and behavior of a combustion engine."
"However, the theatrics of this virtual gear shifter aren't enough to overlook this trim's other shortcomings, including a frustratingly low real-world range and a price tag that's harder to justify."
Electric vehicle sales declined in the first quarter, but Toyota and Lexus experienced growth. The 2026 bZ became the best-selling non-Tesla EV, while the Lexus RZ's sales surged 206% year over year. The RZ features significant upgrades, including a larger battery, faster charging, and a new trim with manual shift simulation. Although the RZ is enjoyable to drive, it has limitations such as a low real-world range and a high price, making it less competitive compared to rivals like the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N.
