The BMW iX3 offers more range β€” 400 km WLTP against 395 km, a gap of about 10 km between charges. The Lexus RZ is the better fit for families needing extra boot space, with 522 litres and 5 seats versus 510 litres and 5 in the BMW iX3. Prices start at the same figure, so the deciding factors are boot space, pace (6.3s plays 6.8s off the line) and which standout feature matters more to you.
