Might be swapping the family car, I’m slightly interested in the Lexus rz450e, a 2024 top spec car comes in at about £26k, so 8 years of warranty left.
Anyone got one? I know range isn’t great(170ish motorway/200 mixed), however that sits inside the usage window, 99% charging at home.
Anything else sit in that sort of profile, large/luxury and importantly, warranty?

I like the look of these, plus the brand.
I have an EV that has 210ish winter and 240ish summer range. It's one of the cheap lease deals leapmotor c10s.
I also find the range not an issue for my mileage.
I've done 9100 miles in 7 months. So likely 15.6k a year, or 300m a week.
On the very rare occasion I need to charge publicly i just accept the small waiting time.

I had one for two years on a cheap Lease deal and it was a fantastic car. Great performance, ride quality, refinement, silence, and space. In car entertainment is great, Mark Levinson stereo, Heads-up-display and a Satnav system as good as Google maps. I highly recommend them, the realistic range was around 160 to 220 miles, but I had the 20 inch wheels as it was the Takumi model.
I asked the lease company for a quote for me to purchase it at the end of the contract and they offered it to me for £31K. I asked if there was any movement on price as I could buy a similar car for around £28K, and they said no. I therefore took out another cheap lease deal on another EV, it went through a BCA Auction at £25.5K and it has been for sale for past 6-7 weeks at an ever decreasing price £26.2K. If I had known that it would have been available at the price it is now I would have bought it as it is a quality car. I treated it like my own, ceramic coated it from new, and not washed by anyone but me, a hobbyist detailer.
Funnily enough a friend was is thinking of buying one, and I sent him the link to my old car today….

It is just a BZ4X with a different body but if you're ok with that..
There was a post that that car could only DC (fast) charge twice in 24 hours, not sure if it's true but if so with the limited range that would be a real issue for longer trips...
Body/interior/materials etc, I am ok with that. Like a 911 is a very polo etc.There was a post that that car could only DC (fast) charge twice in 24 hours, not sure if it's true but if so with the limited range that would be a real issue for longer trips...
