The wedges are drawn from this vehicle’s published approach, departure and breakover angles, and the water line marks its published wading depth.

Balanced profile

255/45 R20
Low-ish profile
Staggered means the rear tyres are a different size from the fronts, so they can't be rotated front to back.
Drawn at a shared scale across the compared cars and across both ends of a staggered car, so a bigger tyre is genuinely bigger. Sidewall view shows wall height (profile); tread view shows width. Price band is an indicative fitted cost, budget brand (low) to premium brand (high), for four of the one size or for two fronts plus two rears where the car is staggered, unless a verified set price is on file. Actual prices vary by brand, retailer and fitting.

If you want a five-seat electric SUV with all four wheels driven and a decent boot for family duties, the 2026 Lexus RZ 550e F Sport is worth a look. It's priced at $104,920 RRP, which is the recommended retail price, before on-road costs. Range is 437km (WLTP) from a 77kWh battery, and DC fast charging peaks at 150kW. The boot holds 522 litres with the seats up and 1,451 litres folded. Braked towing is 750kg, so keep that in mind if you've got a heavier load to pull.

The Lexus RZ 600e F Sport Performance is a limited-run flagship version of the RZ electric SUV that Lexus Australia says arrives in the fourth quarter of 2026, with just nine examples expected for Australian customers. Lexus Australia lists it at $135,000 before statutory charges and on-road costs, and expressions of interest are being handled through eight selected Lexus dealers. Lexus has announced headline details in its release but has not yet published a full specification sheet for this grade, so this listing carries the announced price only.
