Lexus’ electric 3-row SUV makes its first public appearance

The 2027 Lexus TZ is the first purely electric three-row SUV from Toyota’s luxury brand. Ahead of its upcoming launch, the electric TZ was spotted driving in public for the first time.

We got our first look at the new 2027 Lexus TZ in May, an upscale sibling to the upcoming Toyota Highlander BEV.

It’s based on the same platform as the electric Highlander and will be available with two battery pack options: 76.96 kWh and 95.82 kWh, which Lexus said will deliver a driving range of up to 300 miles on a single charge.

Unlike Toyota’s 3-row SUV, all 2027 Lexus TZ models come with an “evolved” version of its DIRECT4 AWD system.

The dual-motor all-wheel drive (AWD) setup packs a combined 420 horsepower and enables it to tow up to 3,500 lbs. Drivers will be able to choose from five unique drive modes that will automatically optimize drive settings: normal, sport, eco, range, and rear comfort.

Although it uses the same platform as the Highlander EV, Lexus said the TZ will stand apart with its signature driving experience. In fact, Lexus claimed the electric TZ has the quietest cabin of any of its SUVs to date, with a fine-tuned suspension, dynamic rear steering, and a reinforced body structure.

Inside, the TZ features the latest Lexus Interface Multimedia system. The system now includes customizable apps and widgets, plus an updated “Hey Lexus” voice assistant.

The infotainment system now offers full-screen navigation and added EV charging functions, like EV Routing and an EV Range Map.
