How it scores for you10 scores
Whisper-quiet Lexus build quality with dirt-cheap running costs; EV-typical depreciation and an anonymous driving character cap its appeal.
Recalled somewhat less often than cars of the same model years; none of its 3 recalls were serious. Based on recalls and serious defect reports — it doesn't capture everyday repairs or problems fixed by warranty extensions. Adjusted +5 points for its wider reputation.
Not yet crash-tested by NHTSA, so this is scored as middle-of-the-road.
About $600 a year in fuel (EPA estimate) — among the cheapest cars we track to run.
34.9 cu ft of cargo space — more than about 82% of other SUVs we track.
Decent rear room on the dedicated EV platform; compact-midsize footprint.
Smooth, quiet and quick enough; steering and chassis tuned for ease, not engagement.
Clean modern interface and strong driver aids; charging speed trails EV leaders.
Hushed cabin and supple ride uphold Lexus norms.
EVs have typically lost value the fastest.
No published tow rating; all- or four-wheel drive available.
