We test Lexus and Toyota's revolutionary steering system

Tesla has a reputation for packing bleeding-edge tech into its cars with mixed results, but its yoke steering system has to be classed as a misstep. Resembling something between light aircraft controls and a racing wheel you’d use on a gaming console, the yoke made its debut on the recent Model S refresh to a confused reception.

Although yet another premium electric crossover on the outside, the Lexus RZ450e’s by-the-numbers exterior masks a radical interior innovation. The moment you step into the cabin, you can’t fail to spot One Motion Grip, and although it looks a lot like Tesla’s most recent attempt at the future of steering, here it’s backed by all-new technology. One Motion Grip consists of two key pieces of tech, but one is much more obvious than the other.

As you’d expect, there’s a significant amount of redundancy in the system, and that – combined with the torque motor – means the steer-by-wire system is heavier than the standard one. I’m not surprised when Lexus engineers reveal the PlayStation generation is better at adapting to the new steer-by-wire system – because using the One Motion Grip is a lot like playing a racing game. But not a top-of-the-range Fanatec one you’d play GT7 with – one with way less force-feedback. It turns out, that’s intentional.
