18" wheels are now available as an option on all trim levels, I think this provides a smoother ride and better range, but it can adversely affect other factors including cornering / stability and stopping distance so it depends what your preference is (plus how good the suspension is in the vehicle). For example: https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/features/are-bigger-wheels-really-ruining-ride-quality and https://www.jdpower.com/cars/shopping-guides/what-difference-does-the-wheel-size-make When on a test drive last week of an RZ 450e Premium Plus (4WD), we found the ride to be good, better than my 2016 NX 300h (18" wheels) 4WD and almost as smooth as our 2021 UX 300e (17" wheels) Front wheel drive. Handling most manhole covers, speed bumps and potholes well. My SO and I took it in turns to sit in the back to look after our baby and both had the same opinion of the ride quality.

As long as you choose grey, dark grey or a copper colour presumably?!

Thank you, this is very helpful .. I will ask about this when I test drive an RZ 450e soon. It's very strange that the Lexus design team hadn't thought to include integrated physical shades in their original design for the non-Takumi trims (even my 2016 NX has them!). Odd they don't give a delete sunroof option too (like in the old days!).

I managed to find the answer to my question.. sections 2.2 and 2.3 of the T&Cs apply in my situation 😄

I am very impressed with the new Lexus Reserve proposition. Avoiding range anxiety for longer trips by borrowing a Lexus hybrid. https://www.lexus.co.uk/lexus-reserve Before I contact my dealer, does anyone know if customers who purchased a Lexus fully electric vehicle from a Lexus dealer BEFORE Reserve was launched are also eligible to use Lexus Reserve? Thanks, Arne

I am considering purchasing an RZ. Is anyone else underwhelmed by the limited choice of colours available? Why are there so many slight variations of the same colours (grey and silver)? Why are there no red, green, dark blue or other choices available? This is almost as bad as the options available on the Volvo EX30! Does anyone know if Lexus will be introducing a wider colour palette in the near future?

thank you Colin. At least there is an underlying rationale after all. I hope it makes a nice sound when we drive along too?!!

Sorry to see you have left the Lexus family Slucky. I share some of your concerns re: the Chademo vs CCS and smaller battery. At least the newer 300e has a larger capacity battery which helps. One things I have found on the public Chademo chargers .. some don't work.. but I saw a BMW driver press the red emergency stop button on the charger (no alarms went off and no emergency services arrived!) This reset the unit and then after it started up (a few minutes later) it worked fine!! Worth trying to any other UX300e owners out there! We only do short journeys in ours, so the 54kWh battery is fine for us and is granny-charged over a 3-pin plug overnight at home. We use my NX300h for longer / unplanned journeys.

I have often wondered about the word "sonic" to describe a colour! Is there a sound absorbing quality of the paint, or is this someone in product design/marketing that needs a stern talking to?!

Have you checked the official statement from Lexus, that was pinned to the top of this group? This shows that the only models of NX affected by the Canbus issue are 2017/09 to 2021/10, so older and newer NX models are not affected and I presume not eligible for free trackers as they're not necessary.

Thanks Bob. That was my conclusion too after researching the different trim levels on the Lexus website. For the pano roof .. is there no cheaper option of a sliding cover (such as the one on my 2016 NX300h)? Or is the dimmable glass the only way to reduce sunlight on an RZ?

thank you Andy. I wonder if I will hear from the tracker company soon or whether they simply 'forgot' to install the second device. Time will tell!

Colin - I thought this was part of the same device / app? I will research this some more and report back. The chap at the service department was temporary cover from the neighbouring Toyota garage, and didn't seem to know anything about the geofence functionality. Also, my car insurance price did NOT change after the tracker was fitted I only renewed about a month ago, but fortunately my insurance hadn't increased that much. I hope it will be a different story come next renewal.

Tracker fitted on my 2021 UX 300e at Lexus Tunbridge Wells today, big relief. Dealership activated it before handing the keys over to me. As expected, it came with TRACKER Retrieve 3 Year Subscription included, but no stickers for the windows. There was a separate thread on this elsewhere in the LOC. Now to call the insurance company to see how much of a reduction this will make to my premium! The activation included a registration document that was emailed to me so that it can be provided to the insurance company if they require proof that the tracker has been installed.

Andy I am having similar thoughts, so am holding off purchasing the stickers for now too!
