YouTuber Marques Brownlee Says He Will Not Recommend Lexus RZ 450e SUV Over Tesla Model Y Or Kia EV6: 'One Of The Weirdest EVs I Have Seen In A While'
Popular tech YouTuber Marques Brownlee said on Friday that he will not recommend Lexus brand's RZ 450e battery electric SUV as other EVs from rival automakers offer better range for the same price.
知名科技YouTuber Marques Brownlee在星期五表示，他不会推荐雷克萨斯品牌的RZ 450e电池电动SUV，因为其他竞争对手汽车制造商的电动车在相同的价格下提供更好的区间。
What Happened: "One of the weirdest EVs I have seen in a while because it is a genuinely nice car that I could never recommend," Brownlee said in a video posted on Friday about the Lexus RZ 450E. Lexus is the luxury brand of Japanese automaker Toyota Motor Corp.
布朗利在周五发布的有关雷克萨斯RZ 450E的视频中表示：“这是我看到的最奇怪的电动汽车之一，因为它是一辆真正漂亮的汽车，但我永远不会推荐它。”雷克萨斯是日本汽车制造商丰田汽车的豪华品牌。
The Lexus RZ 450E is a more premium variant of the RZ model. The RZ model has four variants. It starts at $55,175 for the base RZ 300e premium variant and at $59,875 for the 450e premium variant. The RZ 450e luxury variant is priced further higher at $65,605. The most expensive variant, however, has a range of only 196 miles despite the higher pricing.
雷克萨斯RZ 450E是RZ型的更高端版本。 RZ型有四个变种。 基础RZ 300e普通版的价格为55,175美元，450e高级版的价格为59,875美元。 RZ 450e豪华版的定价更高，为65,605美元。 然而，尽管价格更高，但最昂贵的版本的续航里程仅为196英里。
The one customer for the Lexus battery electric SUV would be people who like driving Lexus and want to go electric. However, there are EVs from rival EV makers in the same price range that can offer better performance and range such as the Kia EV6 or the Tesla Model Y, Brownlee noted.
布朗利指出，雷克萨斯电动SUV的唯一客户将是喜欢驾驶雷克萨斯并想要购买电动车的人。 然而，同价位的竞争对手中有一些能够提供更好的性能和续航里程，例如起亚EV6或特斯拉Model Y。
The 2024 Kia EV6 starts at $42,600 but offers up to 310 miles of range. The Model Y, meanwhile, starts at $44,990 and offers up to 320 miles of range.
2024年起亚EV6的起价为42,600美元，但可提供长达310英里的续航里程。 同时，特斯拉Model Y的起价为44,990美元，可提供长达320英里的续航里程。
However, Brownlee noted that he likes a few aspects of the Lexus RZ 450e, including its premium interiors.
然而，布朗利指出他喜欢雷克萨斯RZ 450e的几个方面，包括其豪华的内饰。
Why It Matters: Toyota Motor North America reported first-half sales of 1,186,647 vehicles in the U.S., up 14.3% on a volume basis compared to the same period last year.
为什么很重要：丰田汽车北美报告第一半年在美国的销量为1,186,647辆，与去年同期相比，销量增长了14.3％。
The Lexus division sold 167,211 vehicles, including 5,639 RZ SUVs. RZ SUV sales in the period marked a growth in sales of about 400% as compared to last year.
