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，他不會推薦雷克薩斯品牌的RZ 450e電池電動SUV，因爲其他競爭對手汽車製造商的電動車在相同的價格下提供更好的區間。
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.
布朗利在週五發佈的有關雷克薩斯RZ 450E的視頻中表示：「這是我看到的最奇怪的電動汽車之一，因爲它是一輛真正漂亮的汽車，但我永遠不會推薦它。」雷克薩斯是日本汽車製造商豐田汽車的豪華品牌。
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.
雷克薩斯RZ 450E是RZ型的更高端版本。 RZ型有四個變種。 基礎RZ 300e普通版的價格爲55,175美元，450e高級版的價格爲59,875美元。 RZ 450e豪華版的定價更高，爲65,605美元。 然而，儘管價格更高，但最昂貴的版本的續航里程僅爲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，雷克薩斯電動SUV的唯一客戶將是喜歡駕駛雷克薩斯並想要購買電動車的人。 然而，同價位的競爭對手中有一些能夠提供更好的性能和續航里程，例如起亞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年起亞EV6的起價爲42,600美元，但可提供長達310英里的續航里程。 同時，特斯拉Model Y的起價爲44,990美元，可提供長達320英里的續航里程。
However, Brownlee noted that he likes a few aspects of the Lexus RZ 450e, including its premium interiors.
然而，布朗利指出他喜歡雷克薩斯RZ 450e的幾個方面，包括其豪華的內飾。
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.
爲什麼很重要：豐田汽車北美報告第一半年在美國的銷量爲1,186,647輛，與去年同期相比，銷量增長了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.
